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.

        So then we are just arguing about the right word to use? So without using the F word, from my life, the left is the one that wants to take away my freedoms much more than the right side does. They are the one that will be the actual cause of the domestic strife when it probably will occure.

            Im guessing youre not and want to play the victim card. Please very specifically tell me what happens to a black vs white 18 year old that makes their success different.

              The white person started with a hell of a lot less institutional and social crap in their way to success. If you want to know more please look up the definition of the word “privilege”, and check yours while you’re at it.

              Oh, and I’m not looking to play any sort of victim card, I just hate fascists

                Like I said, please be very specific on how a 18 year old black person would have a harder time than an 18 year old white person. I can give you some direct example of how they could have it easier, I need you to give specific examples.

                  The short answer is systemic racism. The long answer you’re gonna have to look up on your own, but that should give you a good starting point. I’m not being paid to teach you and I don’t care enough about you to do so for free.

                  Of course you actually know exactly what I’m talking about already and are actually just cat fishing, aren’t you? Having looked at your profile, you’re not actually very good at trolling are you?

                    I hear about systemic racism, but I never see what you are actually referring to, that is why I am asking for very direct example. If you cant give me a direct example that is fine, but since I can give you example of how it benefits them, then I dont know what you are talking about.
