Question is, what totalitarianism do you think we're headed towards? Trump/MAGA totalitarianism or Left/Cancel culture totalitarianism?
- lhnz 6y agoDoes it mattter which one? Once we're there, power will be wielded fully by whatever popular sociopath has the rungs on any given day. That can change day-to-day, year-to-year or election-to-election, and different organisations will have their own all-powerful sociopaths, with their own particular preferences for abuses of power. Once people have power, they don't merely act ideologically, they act selfishly.
