    My family resisted the Nazis, some died for it others like my ancestors barely made it to Switzerland alive. None of them were cowards.

    You guys don’t do shit, live without health insurance and spend your last dime on the newest iPhone.

        The American strategy: don’t be inspired by positives, look for negatives to bring them down to your level

        What is this question supposed to mean? Aside from making you feel better about your apathy?

        No need so far, but I absolutely would if things ever take a wrong turn here like they did in the states.

        We even learn this in school here, you don’t stay silent during a fascist takeover.

            “The right is winning all over the world” is right wing propaganda to make it seem an unavoidable certainty, as surveillance capitalism does. Sure there was quite a big push in that direction, but not everywhere and in many of those places there has been somewhat adequate pushback. Is the global political majority more right leaning than 5/10 years ago? Sure. Are the fascists winning everywhere? no

      How American of you to ride on the shoulders of your ancestors while you sit on your ass behind a screen away from the problem.
