    Why is the whole world pivoting hard right!? What the fuck is so attractive about these ideals? Because they’re shit. Society is meant for Unity not complete Individualism.

      Maybe because inequality is rising, making daily life harder and harder for the majority of the population. And some of these will buy into that it is because we are spending too much money helping people, and that their own lives would be easier if we didn’t.

      Edit: grammar

        Together with misinformation spreading faster than light. During the rise of Internet I thought we could finally turn the world into a better place, spreading knowledge, educating the planet. Instead, the shittiest, most toxic ideas finally got a faster train to get on. Good luck dumping money into education to help people filter out shady sources. Especially when you actually got into power by spreading that shitty misinformation to begin with (this latter bit is not about Ukraine, more like other countries such as Hungary).

      Or maybe it’s people like you telling them their ideals are shit.

          Nice strawman. The left doesn’t win because of elitism and them telling others “your ideas suck”. Then they pull a surprise pikachu face because how could we have lost, our ideas don’t suck! Meanwhile they keep alienating their voters more each day.
