Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

      Everytime we talk about violence being the only way to create change, limp-dick liberals bitch about how peaceful protests are the only way.

      Liberalism helped build this hell, and it’s determined to maintain it.

      Leftist need to get guns. Now.

    While times seem bad, and they are worse than they used to be, especially with the election of Donald Trump, imagine what it was like during WW2. Nazi Germany invaded France, Czechoslovakia, and half of Poland (with the Soviet Union the other half); Britain stood alone. Spain was under fascist dictatorship. Now Russia barely controls 1/5 of Ukraine, and has suffered many thousands of losses in tanks and armoured vehicles. Modern Russia is now weaker than the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany was (for their time period).

    Because people have become comfortable enough (can’t remember the downside) to flirt with populism.

    Once they get the short sharp shock of what it actually means to be governed by these people we might recover from it… Maybe

    That is the eventual conclusion of capitalism, the way it is currently set to play out.

    The only forces that could act against it depend on the distribution of critical information… And those are owned by the same private interests… Soooooo. We’ll see. Doesn’t bode well at all.

    Because it always has been. It’s called capitalism. This system will literally destroy the planet and enslave all live for the profits of a few ultra privileged man babies.

    Because most people are either stupid, evil, or stupid and evil.

    I don’t know what the solution is, I can only hope its mostly just the “extreme ignorance” type of stupidity and not evil or “willing ignorance” stupidity and after experiencing the suffering they’ve enabled for themselves that they put 2 and 2 together and things maybe recover partially or enough to prevent the end of human civilization as we know it.

    The rebels in Myanmar are winning.

    There’s a new miracle drug for addictions.

    That’s all I can think of.

    One aspect is that mass media is overall owned by those people and is propaganda. If you don’t have ways of seeing what’s happening on the ground, you miss a lot of the good news. Even your twitter/bs/mastodon feeds won’t give you the full story, you have to (where possible) get involved in a real community organization.

      To summarize: democracy is waning, and we have some rough times ahead, but there will be wins mixed in with the losses.
