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.

    Fascism is a violent protection of the Capitalist status-quo in which the bourgeoisie cements itself as the totalitarian rulers.

      Fascism is “a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control, and being extremely proud of country and race, and in which political opposition is not allowed”

        Fascism is quite a bit more complicated than that. What I described is the function of fascism, as well as the material conditions that result in it. You’re describing the form.
