It's just going to be crabs in a bucket until we all die, huh?

People are just going to get more and more fash, aren't they?

EDIT: Thank you all for reminding me there are things to be hopeful for, and that organising and community are important.

Community is the real problem.

People don't feel close to other people in modernised places. That makes it hard to organise collective action or sell collective messages.

Oh, you bring up an excellent point.

With rising fascism, has anyone else felt themselves grow more misanthropic? I’m not saying this is a good thing, but this is a personal problem I’m having…which logically means I don’t try to build any community where I can, even online.

This likely has cascading effects on society at large, because people then become more and more callous because they assume everyone is an asshole and…..ohhhh look at that I’m describing the base and superstructure again.

Doesn't help that most people have decided to stop believing in germ theory, either. It's hard to meet strangers when they're all trying to kill you.
