There’s really not much hope for humanity. Everywhere people are falling again and again for slightly different flavors of populist conservative corrupt assholes with a dictatorial liking. Like it’s ever done the world any good before.
Oh I agree with you, but I wanted to alude to what’s going on in other parts of the world as well, where it’s not at the outright fascist stage. Yet.
(I also called it dictatorial, so…)
And that’s the most insidious part. I’m not sure people are voting to do good in the world anymore. Some of these votes are stones thrown at someone. Like a Trump voter told me, “The whole system is rotten and he’s going to destroy it utterly so we can build anew. Things might get worse for a while before they can get better, but there’s no other way.”
I found that statement terrifying because the dude basically said he thought we needed to destroy society but he said absolutely nothing about what to build in its place.

It’s not “populist conservatism”. That’s minimizing media language. It’s extreme right wing demagoguery.
This specific flavor being Hindu-nationalist fascism.
