Western?
Oh I have bad news…
Climate Change isn’t just Western…
Y’all: 🌎+🌍+🌏=🌐–>🌋💥🪦
Me: 👀🍿
(well I’m also trapped on this hellhole planet… fuck)
I don’t think what we are seeing is the downfall of western societies but another mutation of capitalism, the wave of neoliberal policies gaining traction around the world as not seen since its first application in the 70s and being pushed down our throats
Trust me, the whole world is falling apart. Eastern side of the world will fall quickly if the West falls because we’re all connected.
“Western Society?”
Says Australia, Canada, and the UK, with their leftwing governments.
The UK is more “left of the right” than left at the moment. Though, there is hope the greens might wake up and gently pull them a little more left.
Remember, the band of fuckweasles that is reform are polling close to labour.
It’s amazing how far right Labour has drifted.
I wouldn’t get too complacent about the fact that the UK finally moved ever-so-slightly to the left. The press is just waiting to tear Starmer limb-from-limb. You saw that with how they amplified all the BS stuff about his CPS days. One good scandal could topple Labour and open the door to reform. Not delivering any material improvements for people who are struggling could have the same effect
Yea this is a US problem not a western society problem.
Yes! USA is not “Western Society”.
Yes, the damage the US will cause with its collapse will suck, but Western Society as a whole is doing pretty well.
Aside from the commonwealth countries, Northern Europe is doing great. Germany is having some issues with AfD, but overall things are steady there. France has its usual issues, but they’ve soundly rejected the extreme right. Ireland is doing amazingly well. Benelux is just fine. Poland made a sudden turn towards openness and EU integration in their last election. Sure, Italy’s leader is right wing, but she’s hardly been wrecking things the way Trump has.
But, it’s no shock that an American thinks that American troubles means the collapse of democracy and civilization.
Canada has maple trump on the ballot and leading in the polls.
The US is heavily interfering in our political scape to push conservative votes
Little PP is bad, and maybe wants to be Trump, but he’s so clearly not Trump.
And, his pro-MAGA position has now put him on the wrong side now that Trump decided to attack Canada.
It’s still likely he’ll win, but I think the last couple of weeks have really damaged his campaign.
