    It would seem the entire world is in a fascist death spiral. I’m not going to to be so grandiose as to say we are all completely fucked, but I will say this wave of fascism is going to likely stunt human progress for the next one-hundred years.

      Old people become more conservative, the largest generation is now old…

        They actually don’t, on average they actually become slightly more progressive. However, rich people are conservative and rich people live longer.

      Since it always seems to go along with corporatism and a refusal to admit climate change is a problem, it will set us back much more than that. It’s shocking how easily people are turned to fascism.
