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.
Spoken like a good little bootlicker.
Best keep that tongue on that boot, lest it steps on you instead. Same goes for those businesses under a fascist government. I'm sure life will be good for them, especially if they don't mind the taste of leather.
Remove their tongue from the boot, and business won't be good for them.
I wonder what you're doing about the imminent world war that's so brave and non-bootlicking.
Speaking up and calling out fascist behavior. Not spending my money on businesses that promote fascists. Voting. Keeping my long barrel in good condition, may it never need to be used.
Soap, ballot, jury, and cartridge boxes, in that order.
So posting on lemmy and boycotting businesses you don't like. Awesome.
Hey guys, don't worry about the future, this guy will totally stop fascism. We're fine.
Better than trying to lick my way to the center of a boot while making disingenuous jabs on Lemmy.
Sure sure, keep repeating that to yourself.
Even for a bootlicker, you seem especially bitter, sarcastic, and downtrodden. Might help to find someone licensed to talk that out. Ain't healthy keeping it bottled up, and spewing vitriol on Lemmy doesn't help anyone.
Are you talking about me or yourself now? Seams like you intended this for me but you actually perfectly described your comments.
Add projection to the list, too. You're just trolling, now. Good luck with that.
Really? Please, point out the vitriol in my comments. You're the one talking about licking boots all the time. You're the abusive one here. (Of course I don't expect you to realize it now, you don't strike me a s someone capable of admitting they were wrong)
You're the one extolling the virtues of fascism.
You just didn't understand what you read and got triggered. Relax, go for a walk or something.
"I think that instead of it being the end we will simply learn that fully fascist world is actually quite good for business and nothing will change for vast majority of people. I'm not saying it will be good. It will be worse, just not as bad as you think."
My understanding of your statement: Fascism is good for business! Sure, it's bad for some people, but most people won't even notice it. There's good things about fascism that you're not aware of. It's not all bad!
Triggered? Hardly. I'm not about to let a comment like the above go untouched for the bullshit it is, however.
You need to take a walk down to your local library and read some history books.
Missed that part? I'm selling fascism by saying it will be worse? What do you think is it? Reverse psychology?
A lot of people already live under extreme right wing governments (Russia, India, Venezuela, Iran, Israel.. the list goes on), not much will change there. A lot of people live in very stable democracies that also will not get affected by those changes. I believe majority of people will be fine. Is that supporting fascism?
Would slide to the right be good for business? Probably, corporations like right wing governments. Global economy will not collapse, there will be no world war III. Wow, what a strong statement of support for fascism!
You saw someone not crying out loud that fascist will kill as all and got triggered, simple.
You're minimizing, plain and simple, by accentuating the positive aspects and softening the negative. Generally folk minimizing are in support of the thing they claim to be in opposition of.
If that's not your intent, then you really need to work on your communication skills.
As for being triggered, you're wrong. I believe you're projecting. Might the cause be all those down votes your posts are receiving? Sure, they don't mean much... Other than each vote meaning one person disagrees with you. Some folk can't handle that well.
That's a really dumb statement. Being realistic is not minimizing. Minimizing is not supporting.
If I create a post saying "Climate change will kills us all by 2025" and you'll will disagree you're minimizing and supporting oil industry? Not agreeing with obviously wrong statements is now bootlicking?
Basically for you, anything that's not agreeing with the groupthink is supporting the other side, no matter the arguments. This sort of stupid, reactionary thinking only creates bubbles and turns away potential supporters. It's like when protesters in US were calling for 'abolishing police' and anyone trying to explain it's unrealistic and de-founding should be the goal was shut down as police supported. Where did it get the protesters? No where. So good luck with your fight. You will also get nowhere.
Says you. You're also inflating my example and simplifying it, making a strawman out of it. I say differently, and so do all those folk downvoting you.
I'm done with this discourse. You're determined to stick to your position in the mud, and not worth the effort. Good luck with that.
Sure, "when proven wrong, scream strawman!". During this entire discourse you didn't come up with a single argument to support your position and now you complain that I'm not changing my mind. Mind boggling.
Blah blah blah.
Another great point.
