a significant portion of the youth is turning hard-right as we speak

Normal thing to happen when the enthusiasm of youth is blunted by betrayal and rejection and defeat.

Like, fuck Fascism, but I can’t really blame a guy who has soured on the whole “Hope and Change” thing. Then having your brain hooked up to the YouTube algorithm of Andrew Tates and JBPs just blasting away all the braincells that aren’t killed by booze and vaping…

The allure of Fascism is the promise of a big ethnic club to end your sense of alienation and despair combined with a near-to-hand enemy you can lash out at with the consent of the police. The Methamphetamine of ideologies - powerful highs and hard crashes. Its what you take when you’re scrambling at the edge of a psychic pit.

Just didn’t feel like typing the whole thing out. Had half a mind to call him “Kermit” but I figure that’s a bit too deep a cut around here.
