Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.
Krudler@lemmy.world 1 week agoPlease stop smoking the drapes. We are in the rise of massive fascism worldwide - I literally don’t understand how you could make such a statement.
I understand we are sliding in that direction. My point is, once there, its harder to keep that regime alive.
How many people are okay with what Israel is doing? Or Russia? Or (now) the US? Despite the propaganda and censoring all over the internet, not many. Most people aren’t buying it.
Once you’re inside, the propaganda is all you get. See people in Russia and China. The repressions become draconian and people just go on with their lives in fear of losing them. With today’s tech, I think fascism is actually easier to keep up.
I respectfully disagree. Cultural backgrounds also play a role and Russia and China have never known democracy.
Fascism in practice (not as a demented dream) is a harder sell in the West although we’re not immune to it and we should 100℅ remain vigilant and fight it’s grown at all costs.
What West are you talking about? Fascism sensu stricto was invented in the West.
Is it fascism or corporatism?

Yeah, the world is sliding into global fascism, and fast.
Even “Never Again” Germany has a major political party sympathetic with Nazis (AfD). If you talk to the average person in America, it is okay to have all of your rights stripped as long as you can use TikTok. We’re in very dark times right now.
If anything, I think that people from around the world are very disconnected on average. The average person can barely care to support Ukraine, when Putin is clear-as-day running Stalin’s playbook. Lemmy and Reddit is not real life.

Yeah we have people that are fucking starving and borderline ready to riot in the streets like the depression in the twenties, child labor in the states is on the rise … Fascism is on the rise… Basic human rights in the developed world are on the decline… Concentration of wealth is at an all-time high and the population which does all the work has the fewest resources in the history of the entire earth…
But “fuck Nestle” is the refrain
