@faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi Tho I think the post is only partially correct... yes, anxiety can be caused by absolutely real threats. Still, I think, it's useful to notice that resistance to a regime in all of the global west does not yet cause you to be killed/imprisoned right away. The US ist still a place where protests can happen. Fascists are still in the means of gathering enough power to take full control, they haven't yet. There's still a chance for this power to crumble before it rly build up itself. Ofc, it'll if it's unhindered, but there is resistance going on. There are beings fighting for their freedom and the freedom of everyone else.. And I think that's worth to note. It's a situation where fascism can still fail before it starts, if there's enough resistance of both the general public and governments of individual states who still oppose fascism... In that way it is still a somewhat abstract threat and noting this can maybe help beings to focus on their individual needs when they need to, idk... And ofc, I am neither an expert on politics/fascism nor on mental health, so it's just a personal impression of someone who doesn't rly know anything about all this...
