No I’m not catastrophising.

The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist led America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.

Instead people are either ignorant or blaming “wokeism”* for their problems.

I have no clue what to do and this is literally a car crash in slow motion.

I’m despondent because I’m going to be crushed under the boot when the time comes and my morals get in the way of my survival instinct.

Humans are repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s just so anxiety inducing.

*Woke is a useless term promulgated by fascists to dog whistle the things they really want to hate - feminism, socialism, LGBTQIA+, immigration, brown/black people, equality and diversity.

Even better is watching liberals ignore it and ban everyone who tells them to arm up to defend themselves. This is seen as "advocating violence" because they think that fascists will be nice to them if they are nice to fascists.

It's interesting watching idiots like you thinking fascists will respect you for owning guns.

It's far more likely they'll murder you and your entire family in your own home for being perceived as a threat to their fascism.

It's the ones who won't fight back that survive.

Where did I apologize?

My knowledge and ability to apply logic to a future scenario seems to have confused you as approving future scenario.

Based on this new knowledge, I can predict there is a 50/50 chance the fascists will successfully recruit you as a useful fool.

Morons are easy to brainwash.

With that air of superiority, I think you will be the authoritarian.

Moving that prediction up to 80/20 in favor. Best you order yourself a pair of jackboots.

Nah. It's plainly obvious.

Looks like we found one of the first targets

Yeah, well, the dichotomy exists because of the inability of the average human to appreciate nuance. No surprise it's become a fucking shitshow.
