    The western middle class is voting for self destruction it seems. Apparently we really need to demolish everything we‘ve accomplished in terms if wealth and human rights of the last 70 years just to one day realize how good we‘ve had it now. Let‘s hope we can bounce back eventually and don‘t have to spend centuries in serfdom to the super wealthy.

      They have been voting for self-destruction for a long time.

      All social security nets have been taken away by their favorite Neoliberal. Now people are poor and mad and they’re going to vote even more right wing.

      Unless a country shifts left this is the inevitable outcome. Lesser-evil’ing into self destruction.

        Lesser-evil’ing into self destruction.

        Well said. And I’m not sure if that last bit was meant to be sarcastic, but it looks to me people got tired of lesser-evil’ing and just vote for the most evil instead. And I doubt many of them actually aim for improvement. They’re in full destruction mode and deep down they know that.
