It's almost like we're watching a historical event where a large democratic nation is quickly turning into an oligarchal dictatorship. Almost like we're dealing with the consequences of anti intellectualism.

Also just because you don't live in America during all this doesn't mean your country is immune to right wing influence.

Dude, here in Europe half the nations are already beholden to some extreme right faction, and the other half are flirting with it.

Our situation is honestly just a hair better and could deteriorate very rapidly.

Like, for example, if Putin makes his move against the Baltics. If that happens we're equally megafucked.
