As far as I can tell the USA, Britain, ~~Germany~~, Denmark, Italy, New Zealand, Russia, Australia and China are fucked. Fascism, nationalism, corporate capitalism, segregation, genocide, history erasure, political extremism and regression.. Looking pretty fucking bleak. I'd include Palestine but it was formatted by Britain and replaced with Israel, and it doesn't technically exist like it used to.

I'm glad you didn't mention Canada but I'm not feeling entirely safe here either

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

They just forgot. Canada isn't any less at risk than the rest... probably more-so due to proximity to Americas mass mental illness.

Yeah, I have faith in the people but the leadership definitely puts Canada in the same gross boat as the others..

I was wrong about Germany, the main issue over there is the AfD party, but it seems the public are vehemently opposed to them. Denmark, however, is the current presidential leader of the EU, and is speedrunning Chat Control before their term ends. Normally these kinds of votes must be unanimous, but it wasn't -- yet Denmark is continuing to implement it.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You weren't wrong about Germany.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oof.. What's the general state of Germany from your side?

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, one of my colleagues in Munich was just sacked for criticising a scientist. They also put a woman in prison for calling a rapist a disgusting pig.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 12 hours ago

That would be at least local news. Being from munich, what were the peoples names?
