Fascism is on the ballot

[Isoko]

Bob, 

I agree more with the Eric the Green these days because what he is saying actually seems to be he way the world is heading in. How did I come to that conclusion? Living in Russia and hearing the talk from the younger generation. Good quality of life, the right to freely work and travel wherever you want, more liberalism. I realised to myself that the days of the right wing are over.

Of course, it will take some more time before the world fully converges into one but the trend is there. Nationalism is the harbinger of the old who want the past back. ClassicXer reminds me of all the good old comrades in Russia who miss uncle Joe and want the Soviet Union back. Same thing with the MAGA people. They want their old white country back. 

But the times have changed. A new generation is going to assemble onto the steps of power and they are more focused on climate change and Liberal ideas rather then the right of old. 

Originally even I was right wing. I hated the idea of us all becoming one. But I started to see things differently. I saw Trump making an even greater fool of himself, the demands of the Belarusian youth, the BLM movement and I realised - we cannot fight change. We have to embrace it.

I'd rather embrace the future then cling onto the past. After all, if the past was so great, why did it not endure? Why did people want change in the first place?

Eventually Russia will change too. Iran will change. China will change. Japan is already changing as is South Korea. The future of Europe is multiracial. 

That said, I sort of still disagree with Eric that the future will be left wing. I think that people are starting to get tired of the left, at least in the West. I think the future belongs ultimately to the centrist with swings to centre right and centre left culture depending on the mood of the times. But centrist it will be.
