We have renewed our passports for sure. The only other option here is just doing ideology atm, no material analysis whatsoever. Just today I saw a political lib post about how groundbreaking it is to consider how right wing populism is about rhetoric and how with rhetoric they are getting all this support.

The leftish parties just point at these rightwing nuts in outrage with no alternatives given, and then move on to the next outrage. They aren't engaging in an analysis of the material conditions of these movements because if they did, they would get an answer they don't like. And this is why I think things are going to get very bad before they get better.
