Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?
People are scared and angry and want action without thinking about the long-term gains only the short term. Creating fear is fascism 101 and how many rise to power
Because good doesn’t have the stomach to go blow for blow with evil anymore.
Evil has always been there. People have a tendency to turn a blind eye when it isn’t directed at them. Recently it’s very much been directed at Europe and North America. It brings the problems of the world into sharp focus.
We have a global economic system that encourages and rewards evil. More and more countries have political systems that do the same. Good people would rather help others and make the world a better place, and this prevents them from attaining power. It would probably require doing some evil to remove the evil people from power.
Cause it’s unfortunately a fact of life. Evil people assume positions of power most often.
Good times create weak people. Weak people create bad times. Bad times create strong people. Strong people create good times.
Repeat.
Otherwise - because you are being absolutely nuke-blasted by negative news all around the world. If you wen’t offline for a month, you wouldn’t see any issue at all.
Because evil is loud and self-important, and people doing good have learned to be mycelial, underground, quietly building the new world in the shell of the old.
We need more violent good guys
Because people say stupid shit like “but they have laser-guided drones and you have a rifle!”
Fucking idiots do not understand how revolution works and dont know that the US military has failed every invasion.
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 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 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
A combo of “it is in many places” and the press thrives on droomscrolling
It is all the cycle of Tao. Light and dark flowing. It all balances out in the end, brother/sister. You need not worry.
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.
