slick is the force that unites us together <| sep |> The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing John Stuart MillThat ' s true . But it doesn ' t make dsjf 909 fdj ' s answer to the question Who is happy about it ? less sneaky or misleading . <| sep |> We might finally get rid of all the low effort Tachanka crap . <| sep |> Does this have any relevance ? Did I miss something ? oO <| sep |> I used to have something like that but let it lapse with spotify . Now if it ' s not on spotify , I ' m not sure I need to listen to it . <| sep |> People laugh this stuff off as dramatic because they don ' t see the conservatives going full dictatorship , but it doesn ' t matter , they ' ve laid the groundwork for the state to have complete control if they want , and they ' ve normalized what would usually be seen as authortirarian rule . Just look at Donald Trump , American ' s are now regretting the fact they were apathetic towards spying , militarization of the police , and drone assasinations . Reality doesn ' t matter anymore , celebrity politics has blurred into one , a reality TV star who ' wins ' debates by putting on a good show has won an election by capitalising on racism , sexism , and more importantly the anger of white working class people . Across the west a form of rightwing populism even more extreme than Trump is growing , should they win government on a populist message by being an entertainer like Trump , they have all the tools to gradually creep into total authoritarianism or even facism . This wouldn ' t be some dramatic overnight thing , the tools for this to be possible have been implemented slowly so we ' re all apathetic to it , the use of them would be done in a similar way . Politicians on both of sides of the largest two parties in most western countries have acted like neoliberalism is working while it ruins the lives and life chances of millions of people , historically , when you create these socioecomic circumstances for millions of people and leave them alienated and disenfranchised , it doesn ' t end well .
