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.

    Joke? Some people say that the Mayans were right and the world did end in 2012; it’s just that it takes a long time for a system this big to fully stop functioning

      That still doesn’t make sense. The world didn’t end in 2016. We are still here.

      Nothing magical happened in 2016 that hasn’t been happening for the last 50 years. It’s a slow grind to the bottom.

      You could argue that 2008 was the end of the world or 2001. Both events has led the economic strife you’re seeing today which is really what collapse looks like. Both those events supersede anything that happened in 2016.

      If anything this is a self fulfilling prophecy and nothing to do with Mayans. It’s a silly argument to make.

      Edit: the Mayan calendar ended 2012. Not 2016. I can’t remember anything special happening in 2012.
