Celebrating other people's misery is the reason humans could never get along in the first place. It's tribalism, same thing they've used for thousands of years to divide people.

Don't worry, European countries have their own fascism problem, not far behind the U.S.

Then we can all be miserable together.

And this will be the first time in history that fascists in power have access to a fully-immersive (and inescapable) digital panopticon complete with AI to process more data that humans would be capable of doing unassisted, and adding concerningly high rates of hallucinations on top of it, even aside from the biases and spins that are baked into their algorithms...

Oh and military technology has come a long way since the last time fascists gained enough influence to threaten the world order...

This isn't going to be good if we can't all pull ourselves out of this death spiral before it's too late...
