Personally, I really hate this diagram. It feels like its used far more to tar a huge part of the population as “weak” and therefore not worth considering.

Now, there us an element of truth to this in that it probably is not a coincidence that fascism is on the rise right after the generation that fought in WW2 mostly died off. But I’d much rather blame the current problems on thr handful of plutocrats who have been sabatoging things for gerations now, than claim its due to some ineitablilty with strength and generations.

And not subtly like banks were back in WW2. Straight up endorsement.

Grass

Its 1.7 billion in tax exceptions. Given how much politicians love to argue tax deductions and negative tax rates are handouts to normal folks, I’ll count those as handouts to oil companies.

Other people.

I think you made a mistake on the character cite. (⁀ᗢ⁀)

Terrorists and school shooters. Frankly, if cops were as gun happy towards Nazis as they are everyone else, we wouldn’t have quite the fascist problem.

Now, I’m not saying an idiot with a gun is the best solution to those issues, but it would be a solution.

Catuated

Lots of money being spent on overhyped projects that either fail to deliver, cheap upgrades that overrun costs so badly they were never the affordable option, and the actual new stuff that works never sees completion.

Where have I seen these patterns before…

I mean, if google wants to set their money on fire by having multiple data centers running full force to apply “AI” to everything without people asking or any way to profit from it, that’s on them.

I would complain about how much energy this is wasting in light of climate change, but this is innately unsustainable. Google will either widen up, or go bankrupt from the insane expense increase, given this doesn’t make them any money.
