It would seem the entire world is in a fascist death spiral. I’m not going to to be so grandiose as to say we are all completely fucked, but I will say this wave of fascism is going to likely stunt human progress for the next one-hundred years.
The 70+ age group was the one the AfD performed worst in. It’s young people voting fascist here in Germany, the old folks vote CDU because that’s what they’ve always done.
And this is the most scary part of it. Specially that it isn’t just France or Germany but pretty much across the board young people voted for biggest populists out there.
I just want to quickly add it isn’t just “young people”, it’s young men. Women are still heavily left but 20-something men want to give the 1930s a try again.
Since it always seems to go along with corporatism and a refusal to admit climate change is a problem, it will set us back much more than that. It’s shocking how easily people are turned to fascism.

Dark ages part II
An apt analogy.
Old people become more conservative, the largest generation is now old…
Yup we’re fucked.

They actually don’t, on average they actually become slightly more progressive. However, rich people are conservative and rich people live longer.
