It seems to me that the world is shifting to the right. New Zealand just elected a Conservative/Libertarian government. Australia just shot down a referendum giving Aboriginals extra rights. The Netherlands forced their progressive leader to resign, as did New Zealand. Canada’s Conservatives now are projected to win more seats than all the other parties combined, by a wide margin. The latest elections in Europe have all brought right wing governments to power. In the U.S., Trump is polling ahead of Biden.
And all this was before Europe experienced the anti-semitic riots now going on.
Maybe I missed it, but has a left-wing government been elected anywhere in the world in the past two years?
As the world gets more dangerous, people abandon their lofty goals and start looking for safety. Climate Change doesn’t seem as relevant when there may be nuclear war on the horizon, y’know?
One surprising thing to me is that the anti-nuclear-war protestors have vanished. We are currently closer to a nuclear war than we have ever been in my lifetime. I’m shocked that it’s not a bigger issue.
