After centuries of fear mongering, disasters and attempts to mobilise people or half-apathetic masses we seem to be at a point when the nightmare of the present just will not end; even more, it seems that something has definitely ended and the new won’t come, so we, exhausted, pessimistically twirl in this tart and bitter pool and the only thing we want is our normalcy. But from neither the left nor right they won’t let us go there and both insist on a strategy of extreme fear-mongering manoeuvres.

After centuries of fear mongering, disasters and attempts to mobilise people we seem to be at a point when the nightmare of the present just will not end; so we twirl in this tart and bitter pool exhausted and the only thing we want is our normalcy. But from neither the left nor right they won’t let us go there and both insist on a strategy of extreme fear-mongering manoeuvres.
A leftist: the right set off on a path of radical antifeminism, alt-right, anti-Semitism, fascism, conspiracy theories about the deep state and the great replacement, and will send us off to concentration camps.
A right-winger: the left is a pile of extreme communists who pretend they’re on the side of the working class masses, but in fact work for the capital, they’re obsessed with cultural Marxism and gender equality, but their goal is to destroy the patriarchy, any type of masculinity and family as such. They’re the reason we will be poor again, they will send us all to gulags.
The liberals and the “extreme centre” of the neoliberal capital are standing on the sides and waiting for this cultural war to become a little harsher, so that they can enter loose alliances, provide a semblance of the new normalcy and finally celebrate a total victory.
