The fuck is happening over there? Was there lead in the water?
Authoritarianism, duh. It’s a global thing.
You're answering the how, but I'm asking for the why. 😅
Financial issues among the general populace due to consolidation of wealth > oligarchs create propaganda that brown people are to blame > uneducated masses vote for authoritarians with empty promises
It's the same program human civilisation has know for millenia
Evil people doing evil things because they’re evil. They want more than they have any right to and are willing to throw everyone else under the bus.
More money. More power. More control over millions of people. Control over what you say? Not their problem; just control everything.
The ability to deny other what they want is a drug to some people; make them feel superior.
