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.
You just didn't understand what you read and got triggered. Relax, go for a walk or something.
"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.
Missed that part? I'm selling fascism by saying it will be worse? What do you think is it? Reverse psychology?
A lot of people already live under extreme right wing governments (Russia, India, Venezuela, Iran, Israel.. the list goes on), not much will change there. A lot of people live in very stable democracies that also will not get affected by those changes. I believe majority of people will be fine. Is that supporting fascism?
Would slide to the right be good for business? Probably, corporations like right wing governments. Global economy will not collapse, there will be no world war III. Wow, what a strong statement of support for fascism!
You saw someone not crying out loud that fascist will kill as all and got triggered, simple.
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.
That's a really dumb statement. Being realistic is not minimizing. Minimizing is not supporting.
If I create a post saying "Climate change will kills us all by 2025" and you'll will disagree you're minimizing and supporting oil industry? Not agreeing with obviously wrong statements is now bootlicking?
Basically for you, anything that's not agreeing with the groupthink is supporting the other side, no matter the arguments. This sort of stupid, reactionary thinking only creates bubbles and turns away potential supporters. It's like when protesters in US were calling for 'abolishing police' and anyone trying to explain it's unrealistic and de-founding should be the goal was shut down as police supported. Where did it get the protesters? No where. So good luck with your fight. You will also get nowhere.
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.
Sure, "when proven wrong, scream strawman!". During this entire discourse you didn't come up with a single argument to support your position and now you complain that I'm not changing my mind. Mind boggling.
Blah blah blah.
Another great point.
