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.

Not unique, certainly, but having a system built on it doesn't seem to be a good idea.

Stop edging yourself, you want to say capitalism is the problem so bad.

It is, I thought that was obvious.

I think Capitalism is also just part of the problem. China and north Korea are somewhat to not at all capitalistic but still none of the citizens who live there have any freedom.

I don't know what causes countries and their citizens who fought and sacrificed their lives for freedom to give it all up.

I don't know how we can fix this.

It's human insecurity (read: fear).

And maybe greed, too

It is. It was just funny how you were edging yourself with it.
