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.

So what exactly are you disagreeing with? You just don't like their word choice? Because "Hey we should he careful or the extreme right will take over and dismantle our rights" is exactly what I get from OP. They specifically stated this is the beginning, it's happening slowly, and they feel they would be a target if we continue on the same trajectory. What's incorrect/hyperbolic here?

If you think '2024 is going to be the beginning of the end of us all' means "Hey, let's be careful" than sadly I can't help you with your poor reading comprehension.
