Well, they certainly got straight to the point this time. The last time it took a world war before they really started to shit the bed. I'm grateful, if confused.

Well... were not on the other side of this yet. Were still in the sort of early 1930s Germany era where the real problems people face haven't gotten all that much better, and the fascists have made many decently successful smaller attempts at power but haven't quite succeeded in that big push for power. like the stuff that is planned in project 2025.
