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.

It's not actually fascism, it's modern feudalism. The push for a more totalitarian government in all of the countries you mention is being funded by the super rich who want the working class to stay firmly under their thumb. And the plebes who are voting for the oligarchic candidates are really just voting to become serfs to their new lords and masters.

Why is this irrelevant nonsense on the memes community tho.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not irrelevant nonsense. If you think it is, go to .world's meme instances, rather than .ml's.

What should I expect for a "memes" community? A post about irrelevant politic bs with no proofs but just woke shit? No thanks.

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.

I don't feel this way because I don't watch the news.

If you watch that stuff, you are doing exactly what they earn money on. You being anxious, you clicking, you worrying.

You need to start focusing on your own life. Turn off that damn TV and stop watching news. What are you going to do next? Take a walk? Listen to music maybe? Watch a movie with friends? Eat cake?

Take back control of your emotions. Spend a day without watching the news. Can you even do it? Or will you become too anxious and worried by not knowing what's happening?

Hi, Why do you think India is a fascist country? I believe its the most democratic country ever. However looking forward to your perspective.

From the perspective of age, we’re always careening one direction to another one potential catastrophe to another. It’s never pretty in the short term, in the small details. However from the larger perspective, the direction of society approximates a middle of the road direction.

For your own sanity, step back from the immediate details and see where we’re heading from a more safe distance
