2025 is shaping up as the year when a small group of ultra-wealthy, thin-skinned, heavily-armed male fascists consolidated their grip on power, and ramped up the politics of the personal grudge....
May be this really is the last gasp of a decadent 'western civilisation' before it collapses into chaos & devastation.
No wonder the young are anxious...

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 my hope for 2025 is that history stops repeating itself. I'm anxious that it wont.

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 The EU is far more of Western civilisation than the US is now.

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 We are entering a dark period. The darkness will descend on January 20. Whatever happens is going to be a huge test for so-called western civilisation. Will it survive?

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 I think it would be fair to add 'male' to that descriptor.

"The Young" and their older comrades who also hate fascism (which is actually most people) need to realise how much power they have, and start using it, quickly.
Oh, and maybe stop pointing the finger at older people. Young people also have the choice to vote and protest, maybe they should spend less time on Instagram and start clueing themselves up

I was alluding to previous posts about mental health crises among the young.... and I'd thank you not to swear at me; civility is one of the things I value about Mastodon

And yet...
Trump's great weakness is that he craves popularity. The recession which the fascists want to engineer is not going to give him that.
If he dies, another story.
But if he lives, he is caught in a bind.

Well, at some point he will die, its only a question of when, surely

Do you seriously think its only "The Young" that are anxious?
@Captain_Jack_Sparrow
Nope; as I said I was alluding to previous posts on the mental health crisis among the young; but mentioning that does not require me to believe everyone else is fine.... there is a gathering population wide mental health crisis driven by a range of issues (although I put social media fair & square at the centre) and nothing I posted should have been read to imply I though otherwise; if I was less than clear, then my mistake for your inference
