I obviously have none, so I’d like to see if I can mooch off of you lol.

Please don’t leave any pessimistic top level comments. Or do, I’m not your mom 🤷‍♂️.

    All of this push for global fascism and tightening of chains across the world is actually an extinction burst that’s happening precisely because the world is waking up. The oligarchs see one last chance to hold onto power before the common people flip the board.

      Yeah, we only read about right-wing successes but let’s not forget that the lefts all over the world are getting stronger every day, every election.

      So many elections show that the majority of people don’t want to be ruled by fascists.

      I hope this is true! Tired of spending every election day waiting for the .2% of voters to decide if we’re gonna keep healthcare or perform a blood sacrifice of the poors.

      I agree. There’s a dialectical link between the rising of the new and the violence of the old in resisting that.

          At the end? Very hopeful. Communism was surging in popularity around the world, hence the string of revolutions, thanks to the Red Army’s success in defeating the Nazis. It took drastic measures to overturn this.

            True, everything good in both countries I’m a national of is called “post-war” lol. I was thinking of before the war though, trying to make the point we’re at the same place in history.
