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.

    If they ever secure power my fate is basically sealed. I’ve accepted that. It’s not slippery slope to be clear eyed about reality.

    Well, I’m not sure which out-group you’re a part of to conclude this. I don’t think things are that bleak. For most of the out-groups being targeted, a coalition exists in the urban areas where they’ll at least be tolerated. A bastion of progressives or people with common identities to rally around. It’s hard to imagine places like NYC, LA, etc. otherwise.

    But this is why I hate politics. Everyone who organizes, screws around with power. I don’t believe there’s any “side” that will stand with me in a time of need, or any group to rally around. The only people who will stand for my interests is myself and the few people I can persuade. If you’re this alone, the only thing you can really do is try not draw attention. Don’t even bother voting.
