I gotta say.. it’s fucking scary to see the far right rise so fast in so many countries with such extremes We have had 2 world wars with so many deaths that also started with such ‘ideas’ and ‘thoughts’, we cannot and may not let that happen ever againUnfortunately I don’t have the answers but I really much wish we could find some common ground and cool down things before it gets even further out of hand

@stux it is unfortunate that no one listens to each other and their options are choosing extreme left or right to get their point across.

@jnv indeed, it’s like the conversation has just vanished and it’s only screaming against each other

@stux That’s what happens when humans are fed up. They change it up with their vote but realize it’s the same thing just a different name.

@stux Just a random thought ... wars start when states fight against each other.Today's rise of the far right appears rather to be about fighting the own population and those considered outsiders. (Exceptions apply.)Thesis: No state would have fought against the Third Reich and their crimes against their own population if the Reich hadn't waged war against their neighbours and victims abroad.Else: You're right, of course.

@kiwi2002 true, true! But those countries/states start fighting when the people who chose hate are put into power, often as a consequence of extreme political views for example right? 😸

@stux It's been a proven path to search and find an external threat / enemy in order to divert from internal problems.

@stux I really wish there was a place we could send them all to live out their idea of the Wild West. They could be there and apply their "survival of the fittest" BS ideology, and be "self-sufficient". No takebacks, they'll be there forever. We get the rest of the world and run it with the collectivist mindset.

@stux As George Monbiot says, the answer to thwarting a fascist movement & its inevitable wars, is using tax dollars to benefit the citizens & voters of a nation, all of them, not just the 1% at the top. Also, ensuring that the top pays their taxes.It was the Post WW2 answer that worked for 75 years. It created trade not brinksmanship. It created diplomacy and mutual aid treaties like NATO.That's the solution. 1. Tax the rich.2. Good government geared towards the needs of the nation.

@stux Eventually, today's right will be dealt with the same way as in two world wars. Just make sure to get them all, including family.

@stux The problem is how do you find common ground with people who object to your existence? That is not really possible.
