    Unfortunately even Europe is going this way. The right have figured out how to spam nonsense on social media and turn enough people. And how to control media in general, just be on tv and radio as much as possible complaining about everything even if it doesn’t exist and offer up baseless solutions to solve every problem you’ve ever head.

    See Farage.

      Even Japan is seeing protests against immigration right now and rallying for building up armies and getting nuclear weapons. Ideas we would have thought completely insane even a few years ago.

      Far-right rhetoric is the key to corporate wealth. As long as the world is divided, people will focus their fears outward instead of unionizing, creating competition or regulating the businesses in their homelands. Wealth inequality is how you make billions of people want to give you money for stupid distractions and entertainment and false security.

      We HAVE to stop buying shit. Seriously, we are feeding our killers and supplying them with every incentive to keep raping us. We have to stop buying doordash and fast food and new games and movies and new cars and phones. We have to start living like we’re already in the hard times ahead, because if we can punch the corporations hard enough, they may loosen their grip enough or lose time restructuring their tactics that we can get actual anti-oligarch representation into local seats of power. That’s our ONLY hope right now, and it’s a longshot that requires each of us to do far more uncomfortable things than we want.

        “even japan” dude Japan and Germany are not beginners in faschism, it would be awesome if anybody could pass that along

        But yes. Stop milking the cow that abuses the hell out of you. Welfare and community is needed, not weapons. Only the very rich benefit in the class war
