I often wondered how nazi germany happened given the democracy and find myself caught up in the process despite my best efforts and the efforts of many people I know.

Brain drain. It’s already started. Academics, scientists, and researchers are moving to Canada or Europe to do their work. As shit gets worse, the upper and middle classes will start to do the same. The underprivileged and undereducated will fight for the scraps of what’s left.

Eventually, the world will get tired of our shit and do something about it. It will not be pretty. Mainly economic suffocation…. That’s the only way the rest of the world can hurt the US.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

Things are going to get real fucky.

Those in power will be unable to trust each other and their employees even less. We may end up living where we work.

Diseases will be widespread, and no care will be offered to anyone but the privileged.

Famine, likely entirely manufactured, will cause massive amounts of starvation.

Modern conveniences will be slowly lost. Cars will be falling apart because no one can afford mechanics, and the lack of vehicle regulations leads to excessive accidents.

Planes will break up midaire. Widespread blackouts when shit goes sideways. Forget about medicine.

Waterways will be polluted beyond what can be boiled. Breathing in big cities will be hazardous. They will say "efficiency" but not one instance of efficiency will be observable.

Kids showing academic excellence will be abducted and sent to special indoctrination schools so that they can only benefit the regime.

Women will have rights removed. All men will have to do a two year duty in war. Church attendance will be reported to the government.

I have more ideas but I'll stop there

If your curious what the right is pushing for go ahead and check out The Turner Diaries.

If you actually finish the book, wait for your rage to subside then arm yourself.

So I actually just kinda answered this as a "joke" in another thread, but essentially:

The future: fascists, racist robots, billionaires, more fascists, bombing civilians, cutting science funding, the earth is on fire, more fascists, cutting HIV study funding, more racist robots, gutting artistic employment, more billionaires, fried donuts.

Yeah, Lemmy, what does the future look like?
