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.

Yeah I've noticed I'm spending less and less time here the more every community either devolves into doom and gloom politics or Linux.

Reddit sucks, Tildes is too small to matter, but Lemmy just doesn't have any kind of variety whatsoever. The niche communities all died out in June after the people who thought they'd be kick starting them for the reddit Exodus had to carry them with no conversation or posts, and now it's just this shit in every community.
