RE: Ramblings in the midst of sadness [En-Es]

in Catarsis7 months ago

I definitely consider myself more "right wing" but in a place like England and many other European nations, there isn't actually anything that makes them different. Most of the talking points are just lies, they're really two sides of the same coin that counter each other's points when it comes to election time, but once elected they just do exactly the things they said they'd stop/reduce/counter.

I stopped voting after the pandemic, when every party was pushing for QR codes to enter public spaces, punishing people who questioned the vaccine (even encouraging firing people for refusing to accept it). That entire odd period in our history opened my eyes to the fact that no government truly cares, it's all for their own personal gain. I have to say that I don't have a particularly positive outlook on the political world, I suspect places will continue to decline.

Travelling definitely shows me a lot of similarities around the world too: mass importing of migrants under the lie of a worker shortage when the agenda is actually maintaining wage suppression to maximise corporate profit, ensuring people stay poor and incapable of growing while those corporations see record revenue each quarter. Basically, everything is bleak as hell right now, but in a way it encourages us to take a step back and focus on simple things like friends and family, enjoying being with those and finding ways to support each other. Nothing quite beats a strong and independent community.
