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.
This. Being engorged in a bubble can skew one's world view pretty badly.
For instance, if you're only in Lemmy, you might indeed start to think that the world is going to a nazi hell again and the only way to fix that is a communist revolution, comrades. Or if you're in Twitter, you might start to think that the woke mobsters are ruining the west, or whatever.
If you're on tiktok or youtube, you'll get the bubble you taught those things to be.
The center is probably still holding, and normal people in normal life are being normal.
What makes you so confident you're not the one in a bubble?
By seeing the sun shine and the birds tweet, real actual tweeting. Not sniffing Elon Musk's farts.
By pretending nothing exists beyond your immediate surroundings, in other words.
I don't know wtf you think Elon Musk has to do with anything.
