Idk when exactly this surged to much, but when I go outside now I see “Festung Europa” and other Nazi stickers basically everywhere, also “Deutschland erwache!” graffiti in prominent places without anyone caring to remove them. I feel like I am going insane. It seems as though defending migrants when someone says they are all criminals and “human trash” that needs to be “wiped off the streets” just makes me a criminal supporter in the eyes of almost everyone, it is like their brains melted so much they cant even spot the simplest logical fallacy.
American social media are just almost purely propaganda platforms now, but everyone keeps using them because they have grown addicted.
What will the final result of this be? Absolute obedience to a political system that shits on every poor person while they still vote for it? Deportation of every migrant because they believe it will eliminate crime?
They behave like bullies that use psychological violence over physical violence like fascists in the past, and they will deny being fascists but behave exactly like them.
It feels so hopeless
I just needed to write down my thoughts, have a nice day
actually they were just the consequences of milton friedman and frederik hayek and their ridicilously stupid understanding of macro and micro economics. It all started in early 1970s (they were given a nobel economics prize in 1974…).
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were just the symbolic puppets there.
Actually, Friedman and Hayek are ideologues. They created a theoretical body to justify the changes in policy the West started to apply during Thatcher and Reagan times (but first tried in Chile and other places). All those actors represent the growing financial capitalist elite, who took control the politics in most of the world, directly and indirectly.
