No I’m not catastrophising.

The world is slowly lurching towards a fully fascist led America, India, Hungary, Russia, Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Argentina.

Instead people are either ignorant or blaming “wokeism”* for their problems.

I have no clue what to do and this is literally a car crash in slow motion.

I’m despondent because I’m going to be crushed under the boot when the time comes and my morals get in the way of my survival instinct.

Humans are repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s just so anxiety inducing.

*Woke is a useless term promulgated by fascists to dog whistle the things they really want to hate - feminism, socialism, LGBTQIA+, immigration, brown/black people, equality and diversity.

    You are 100% correct. But…

    For me, I don’t have the time to think globally.

    I’m an 18 year old Asian male teenager - Middle Class Family.

    • I need to make money - help my parents financially hoping to retire them earlier. These are the closest people I can help. My loved ones

    • I have to stay in shape, fit and healthy (for the work I’m in)

    • Trying to work on my business for passive income.

    • Dealing with personal stress, issues and finances. (I’m in physcotherapy)

    Do you still think as an individual, I have enough energy left to think about stuff that won’t help me and my family.

    You say that you used to think like me. That does not mean you’re better or worse than me. It just means our priorities as individuals are different.
