There are so,e developments towards authoritarian systems and dictatorships worldwide.
Personally I doubt it is very helpful for the whole situation to relativized it by funny jokes!
You might not be aware of it (obviously).
I live in a country, Germany to be exact that has a very dark history, the Nazi history.
And it’s happening again, we are heading towards such a system with great speed.
Just like back in the days, a majority pretends to „see“ nothing, until it reaches the point where it’s too late!
We already reached a point here where it’s not really safe anymore for a person that has an official function either in politics or science or medicine to publicly speak their mind on the subject.
They are all getting socially isolated and their careers end by the negative coverage in media.
This already reached a point where almost no one dares to speak up officially.
And the development goes straight towards the same for normal citizens.
