Please. All of this is mostly US politics. Please do not hijack “world news” to mean whatever new shit Desantis or someone else said this week. Every other magazine/community/whatever is already full of that shit. Please.
Please. Please. Please.
US politics already swamp out most of the content on the entire fediverse. It may seem like the world to you but there’s almost 200 countries on this planet that are not the US.
PLEASE DO NOT.
Thank you.
Meh, Europe has been dealing with fascist and other extremist people in politics for 20 years on a larger scale, and in some circles and areas of the world it’s never gone away. It’s nothing new, we just know better how to deal with them and they come and go. Instead of thinking it’s some new American thing the rest of the world needs to learn about, you should learn how politics elsewhere works.
It’s the first time the US is SERIOUSLY at risk of becoming full fascist authoritarian. And what do you think a fascist authoritorian state with the biggest and strongest military in the world might do? Due to climate change big parts of the US might become uninhabitable in the future. So they might need more territory. And even now and in the past the US was never very tolerant against countries that don’t work in their interests. But I wouldn’t want to be their ally if they go full nazi. But without their support, Europe is in danger too. We’re at a very serious point in time.
And that facism in Europe is on the rise for the last 10 to 20 years doesn’t mean it won’t become a REAL BIG problem in the future.
I don’t doubt we’re all fucked, but I don’t see how that means that I need to read about every school shooting, every Trump’s fart or every nonsense Musk says 300 times on my timeline. That thing about police dogs dying yesterday, on world news, that was also quite a pearl.
