This is no bleep. Far right authoritarianism is soon to become the new normal.
Technocratic centrism is entirely ineffective to address this. “Solving problems” while “preserving normalcy” and the “stability of the markets” is not enough. It just simply cannot beat fascism at the ballot box after a couple of cycles.
The reason is that the “normalcy” is unsustainable, untenable. Both reality and the electorates need transformation politics. The Right transformative narratives have stepped into the fray.
Only an actual Left counter, with an actual Left program for transforming society can stop this.

Unfortunately they can’t, because that would financially hurt the millionaires and billionaires that own the media, so they’ll do everything they can to discriminate any left party with actual chances to get some influence and make sure everyone thinks they are bad.
I don’t have a solution. I’m just here to ask if anyone’s up for a barbecue? I can think of a few nice places for a fire.
(Joke aside, pure vandalism wouldn’t fix the underlying issue that is the perceived legitimacy of the robber barons. So long as people accept their claim to ownership, they will continue to own. It’s that claim to property that needs to be challenged.)
Hm, my take would be that rich people bought up all the free press, radio and TV stations since the 90s and streamlined them into parroting the owners and sponsors agenda. now they decide what problems we talk about and who can “solve” them.
