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.

      Anarchism is a complex web of horizontal structures, not the absence of structure.

        None of which exist currently and won’t be planned until after the overthrow of the system has resulted in another power grab and we end up in the same situation with a different hierarchy.

        Stonks.

        Seriously though, anarchy and whatever it means to you is purely theoretical in nature. “Anarchy is insert thing that’s never existed and OP can’t even explain in detail” is a useless statement, all you’re saying is it’s not what we have now and somehow it won’t have any kind of vertical elevation of humans above one another.

        We can all create fantasy utopias in our heads and claim they are or aren’t whatever we want.

          You can explain it, though. All I added was that it’s not just an absence of structure, if you want to learn more there’s lots of writings.

      By letting people live how they want to live as long as they aren’t raping people’s lives and making slaves.

        That’s not really what Anarchy is, though. Anarchism is a web of structures like networks of Mutual Aid. It functions on gift economies and concepts like Direct Democracy.
