No, but at least you guys have your own (hopefully) functioning independent governments to at least try to blunt some of the damage/issues or come together with each other
The best we got are the state governments, but what they can do is... limited
Honestly, I'm afraid of the upcoming election in my country as well. Trump is a symptom of a global phenomenon
A while back I read an article that posited that we might be in conservatisms last throes before death, that last burst of energy animals sometimes get before whimpering out.
I like to think that's the real global phenomenon and it's a matter of getting worse before it gets better
Let's hope we get to socialism after this barbarism
We still have to put our foot down and maybe double tap it to the face or it could bounce back.
That is a bunch of wishful thinking.
Maybe that's true, but it looks like neoliberalism beat conservatism to the gallows. Maybe conservatism burns itself out and we can finally get to something better.
Disagree, it’s a reaction to social change and it’s obvious global neoliberalism leads to increasingly worse living standards in the west as the imperial core gets hollowed out by capitalists which is why people are resorting to conservatives and fascists instead. Not because things will be better under them but because most have only the choice between liberals, neoliberals, and conservatives all of whom are in service to capital. Conservatives at least get to message “look at the good old days let’s return” (nevermind the good old days were when minorities and women knew their place)
