Authoritarianism didn’t just spring up out of nowhere and any place that tells you otherwise is missing a giant piece of the puzzle. There has been a concentrated, systematic effort across the globe to grow, train, and coordinate fascistic groups in an effort to seize power.
This fascistic crisis we’re facing isn’t an accident and it didn’t just materialize out of nowhere. For years people have been working overtime to overthrow liberal democracy in the name of white supremacy and hypercapitalistic exploitation.
The pandemic may have helped accelerate the situation, but it’s only because these groups, situated throughout the world and coordinating with one another, were prepared and salivating over the prospect of taking advantage.
Again, pretend this isn’t happening, that fascist groups aren’t active and growing, all you want, but it’s only gifting them room to operate and thrive. They are very, very real, and the threat is there whether you choose to believe it or not.
