The virus of neo fascism and tech oligarchs
Europe is not in a great place at the moment, people are facing real issues, from the housing crisis to an increase in random terror attacks, these are real, not a figment of people's imagination and should not be swept under the rug by mainstream parties, that's exactly what the neo fascists want, as all fascists they are also populists, they present easy solutions for complex problems, but being fascists their “modus operandi” is to create division using a scape goat, usually vulnerable groups in society, this allows them to rally their supporters around a common enemy, creating unity within against the others, polarizing and making people more vulnerable to misinformation and unwilling to see reality.
This off course are the means used to get in power, when they get there is when the real problems begin, we've seen it in the past century and we are having a glimpse of it in the US right now. They rise on false promises of free speech, prosperity and freedom, but all you get is censorship, the demise of democratic institutions, persecution of vulnerable groups, more poverty, less social protections, social inequality and a very unhealthy nationalism focused not on helping their people but on bullying others (that can escalate to war)
What's new about this new fascism is that it's now fueled by tech oligarchs so we also have their agenda behind it and they have a pivotal role on controlling people, because, no matter what, they know that people has the power ( and a guillotine is relatively easy and cheap to make), so here enters the destruction of the social contract, all that made Europe thrive the US needs to shatter, no more social protections or a social state, no more job protection, the gig economy is the way, make people own nothing, work all the time just to survive and they won't rebel
This is not a future that we want, these is why we need to fight, because as any infection it gets harder to fight the more it spreads and it's spreading, it can spread to Germany, France and more, the virus is everywhere already we must stop it and not let infect further
