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.

Hang on, so the president instituted a vaccine mandate but the supreme court shot it down. How's that fascist? I did mention that vaccine mandates aren't actually new.

If things are done at the state level isn't that dependent upon the state? How's that a blue thing? Were only blue states affected? Would you mind linking to any articles about this?

I mean I think removing Roe V Wade was far more damaging than any of that stuff. I thought seizing the supreme court was messed up.

He knew it wasnt legal but did it anyways. Forcing people to get a shot with no rational reason is forcing them to live how they do not want to. Lockdowns were not exclusively a blue thing, but were overwhelmingly done more in blue areas. Roe V Wade is the exact opposite of fascism because it decentralized power.

How do you believe the right is being more fascistic?
