    Agreed. The far right is on the rise and a huge ideology clash will happen sooner or later. It’s weird how we are living a copy pasta from the last century, a pandemic, a war between two countries in Europe that sparkle echoes of what happened before WW1. And then the pandemic, the inevitable economic crash, nazis feeling comfortable speaking about ethnic genocide and whatnot.

    Truly scary time ahead.

    Fortunately, I live in Canada where right wingers à la Donald Trump & the GQP cultists are mocked out off any political position with actual power. They hate Justin Trudeau but all they offer are carbon copy of the worst of the worst the US can offer so they better get used to Trudeau

      Same here in New Zealand, but we lost a Prime Minister due to the concerted efforts of the far-right. Donald Trump would never make it here, but they can chip away at the institutions we built. I’m fine with another ideology clash, we can push them off the map again for another generation or two.

      Don’t get too cozy buddy. Toronto got Rob and Ontario got Doug. Alberta just got their own. And PP is a Trudeau scandal away from a victory.

      I noticed that far-right ideologies and conspiratorial thinking picked up shortly after the start of the pan. I linked this with the flu of the 20s and the rise of fascism. I’m still pretty convinced that they are linked.
