Didn't we lose the culture war against Joanne and her ilk (aka fascists) ? ðŸ˜
When I see Rowling loudly condoning fascists like Trump and Elon Musk and freely spreading outright lies, I can't help but think that the "wokes" (read : progressive people/people who think everyone deserves equal rights) have lost ! And Elon's nazi salute (and him actually threatening to sue those who are offended by it) tells me that bigots and nazis are super popular nowadays - which makes me think that the majority of humans either support literal nazis or don't care 😠I always felt that we progressive-minded people weren't good enough at convincing people/exposing the lies of the far-right !
And I can't help but fear that what happened these last months is proof that progressism and tolerance are weaker than hate and violence ! What do you think ?
I feel like in 1933, in a world where political leaders could do nazi salutes and some people would blindly believe those who tried to say "it's a Roman salute/he's autistic" while this would have been a dealbreaker 10 years ago. I saw a comment on Youtube that clearly summarizes my fear once : "Woke is dead". I feel like I'm witnessing humanity's last hours
I could use some comfort right now ðŸ˜
Edit : I'd also like to ask you all a question : Is there any hope ?
