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.

I urge you to quit responding with insulting cliches to people with legitimate concerns. You'd have been saying the same shit to Germans in 1938 who were worried about fascism.

It's precisely the people hypnotized by social movements that lost their anchors and drifted into LaLa-land that became the Nazi, not the grass touchers who maintained contact with reality.

If you're insulted by the idea of touching grass, which means going outside, talking to real normal people in real life and taking stock of the world as it actually is rather than as you see it through your doom-rectangle.

Then, all I can see is that you need to leave behind Xwitter and touch actual, factual grass.

Unlike you, I chose to be aware of things outside of my immediate surroundings.

And I never used Twitter.
