The sacrifice is democracy and trust in institutions.

Lucky for them, they don't care about either.

As an American, my perception was that Europe was way better inoculated against this kind of bullshit. Crazy to see a comment thread that could have easily been about our last few elections across the pond.

Populism is a global trend.

Everything thanks to internet spreads like wildfire.

Sometimes it helps, most of the time it harms, because people have the attention span of a horsefly and don’t care to learn History beyond 15sec tiktok videos.

It's not the internet, it's wealth consolidation under a handful of sociopaths, who have decided to ruin the world.

UNTIL WE TAX THESE MFRS, the right will continue to win. They buy every election around the globe at this point.

I agree with you. I just don’t know if it’s too late for taxes. Maybe pitchforks and torches are the answer.

Sure, but after the reset, we need to remember what happened when we let the sociopaths have whatever they whined for. Never again.

And conservatism (might as well call it sycophantism) can go away and die somewhere alone. It is a failed political point of view, and it always has been.

So bring down your hammer, sociopaths, and destroy as much as you can before we take our planet back. We will never forget how destructive and hateful you are.
