We, do not. I'm not American. The US to me is an absurd place where wealth gets way too much power and respect.

Yes, problem is that there often is gradual change that is not seen enough. I don't live in the US, the healthcare system there that bleeds the state and the population spectacularly is incomprehensible to me. I don't understand how there is not a new Nintendo character doing his thing every week, given the cruelty combined with the amount of desperate people who have guns.

I live in a country in the EU that has institutions that rather constantly get updated and change to try and keep up with the needs of society (and the need for politicians to show how useful they are).

The constant change is somewhat exhausting to be honest as the agency where you apply for something today might not exist next year, the requirements for applying for the same thing might be different next month....

Yet even here right wing gains every election because they present a world view with simple solutions to complex problems.

Almost ready for that great leap forward!

Well you could say they start with an authoritarian regime that doesn't do well with things like human rights to begin with if they don't go to fascism it's because they have a system that has, for a large part, most of the same downsides.

They both do, it's what narcism does.

If there was one funny thing Trump could do was weaponize the doj against Musk and get his companies seized in civil forfeiture. It certainly would be a win for the US, so he is not going to.

Given all of that (waves generally in the direction of the Trump regime and all its cronies) you guys are allowed to be a whole lot meaner.

So if "the status quo" inevitably leads to fascism, the only way to avoid fascism would be a society that is in constant change? Well, for one thing, every society is in constant change unless you install some kind of religious dogmatic dictatorship, and even those break after some time under the stress of sociological pressures.

Fascism, or things very much like it, happen whenever you let fear mongering powerhungry fools who deny reality in favor of some kind of nostalgia infused "greater" image of your society get away with their bullshit.

Human leadership leads to fascism at some point, because humans love their fears and their tribal behavior.

And keep it up till halfway the summer when you switch out for Halloween....

You might get accused of waging a war on Easter though. I suggest joining forces with the Easter Bunny, hares that lay eggs are queer as can be.

Much more pronounced too. It goes way beyond a few posters and flags. Xmas songs, trees,food etc. It's on everything all over the place. Pride needs to really up its game to get up to Xmas level.

Reminds me of the story a few years back of a Ukrainian mother who fled to the US, but after experiencing the abysmal access to child care decided to go back to Ukraine.

Yeah, you are allowed to drive as fast as you like on some Autobahns, but if you have an accident and your speed is deemed to be faster than safe, the insurance companies are like "nah bro, you brought this on yourself"

Preach it lady! Each can find a path in life that fits them. If you have to be pushed in a role by someone else who then tells you that is the only way for someone like you, you're not your own person, you're someone elses property.
