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.

or what if, now hear me out, what if: some people look beyond their bubble, are highly skeptical of the media, and research stories from multiple angles???
it it conceivable that someone could possibly be aware of the filter bubble effect, and they try to pop it?
we are definitely descending into fascism…
while many people are fighting it, we are getting scarily closer on many fronts…
…
this should be terrifying because if they do get fully into power, first thing they’ll do is round up people like us
You just have to step outside of your bubble to look at the world stepping into fascism. Putting your head in the sand or throwing your hands in the air isn’t going to help.
What makes you so confident you’re not the one in a bubble?

Well, that’s more than I was expecting. Might I suggest you look around for signs that fascism (or at the very least, authoritarianism) is on the rise in many democratic countries? Some countries to look at are the US, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Turkey, India, and Israel.

By seeing the sun shine and the birds tweet, real actual tweeting. Not sniffing Elon Musk’s farts.
By pretending nothing exists beyond your immediate surroundings, in other words.
I don’t know wtf you think Elon Musk has to do with anything.
