You hear them bang on and on about this cycle:
Bad times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men.
Weak men create bad times.
This is absolutely true, 100%
So the facists are right!
Too bad they confuse who the strong and weak men are…
Sorry for the rage bait title, I just wanted to joke a bit.
This is a photo of four bottles of champagne each dedicated to Trump, Putin, Musk and Orban respectively for when the world no longer has to deal with their miserable existance.
Bad times leave resilient people an create broken people. A lot of people suffer from bad times, some people profit a lot from bad times.
Survivors of bad times don’t want to have bad times again, so they try to prevent them.
Better times make people forget how bad the bad times were and people who profited from the bad times try to recreate them. The longer ago the bad times are, the easier it gets for them.
