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.
The natural social hierarchy is racism in other words. And Hungary is leader in Europe to promote anti-immigration laws.
Hungary is also punished by Europe because it doesn’t respect many human rights, especially regarding media, police, and separation of state powers. I don’t know the details, so maybe you have more about it?
The problem with fascism is that it is a conservative slippery slope. It starts with mild racism or protectionism or isolationism, add authority, which slowly becomes nationalism and then suppression of opposition. Starts conservative laws to remove rights from groups of people (minorities, women,strangers…).
It’s a boiling frog problem. You can only be sure when a coup happen, but sometimes you don’t even need a coup. Hitler was elected. Purges are a definite proof, but they are often hidden.
