My brother in Christ, fascism started with Usonian independence and it hasn't stopped since. If anything we are beginning to see liberation by its collapse, happy decades are a-coming.
I'd like to say this is true, but without a doubt the Amerikkkan state is crumbling and its not going out with out a fight. Not to mention the increased support for fascism is the general psych of the public with support of Ukraine. Most importantly however, queer rights are on the decrease, trans rights are going down the drain, gay ones will be next, and after that wouldn't be surprised if civil rights are next.
(Note: This doesn't mean im a doomer, if anything more people will become radicalized if they're clearly on the chopping block, or care about helping those on it. Still just a note)
Makes me wonder, why the hell are these even happening? I thought people were aware why such rights were established in the first place? Or do they not teach that/have stopped teaching that in Western Academia?
In my experience I know all too much people who think the civil rights era, gay marriage, and trans care, all were established legally by just voooooooooooting hard. In a way the school system sets up people to not understand their rights so they can be taken easier.
capitalist "education"
Everything you say is true ... For the imperial core. In the global south things are looking much more positive. Cuba, Vietnam, China have all been taking very positive steps lately with respect to LGBT rights. A good number of leftist (albeit only socdem) governments in Latin America have been pushing back against neoliberalism. The global south is asserting itself economically and breaking free from neo-colonial domination. Yes there are still some countries where the imperialists are able to cause trouble, to temporarily reverse progress with coups like the ones that have taken place in Pakistan and Peru. But a lot of countries that have been in the crosshairs of the US for regime change are proving to be more and more resilient to US hybrid war and color revolution attempts. Iran, Syria, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan, the empire has been taking a lot of L's. And more will follow, some very big ones like losing the proxy war in Ukraine. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, India, all once solid US allies now drifting away from the imperialist camp. Most of the world does not buy into the west's propaganda about the Ukraine conflict. Most of the world regularly denounces the US embargo on Cuba, and everyone but the Anglos (US, UK, CAN, AUS), the Zionist apartheid state and the Europeans voted with Russia in the resolution against the spread of Nazi ideology. You have to put things in perspective. Yes westerners are very brainwashed and very reactionary and only getting worse. But at the end of the day they are a clear minority of the world's population.
