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.

      “I think that instead of it being the end we will simply learn that fully fascist world is actually quite good for business and nothing will change for vast majority of people. I’m not saying it will be good. It will be worse, just not as bad as you think.”

      My understanding of your statement: Fascism is good for business! Sure, it’s bad for some people, but most people won’t even notice it. There’s good things about fascism that you’re not aware of. It’s not all bad!

      Triggered? Hardly. I’m not about to let a comment like the above go untouched for the bullshit it is, however.

      You need to take a walk down to your local library and read some history books.

          You’re minimizing, plain and simple, by accentuating the positive aspects and softening the negative. Generally folk minimizing are in support of the thing they claim to be in opposition of.

          If that’s not your intent, then you really need to work on your communication skills.

          As for being triggered, you’re wrong. I believe you’re projecting. Might the cause be all those down votes your posts are receiving? Sure, they don’t mean much… Other than each vote meaning one person disagrees with you. Some folk can’t handle that well.

              Says you. You’re also inflating my example and simplifying it, making a strawman out of it. I say differently, and so do all those folk downvoting you.

              I’m done with this discourse. You’re determined to stick to your position in the mud, and not worth the effort. Good luck with that.
