Times don’t have to be tough. We are living in an age of unprecedented richness. The only problem is most people don’t get to participate in that richness. Because greed.
“Hard times” are for the capitalist. It’s not really hard times in the typical sense. They are losing the fight against the contradictions of capitalism. They have fought hard against the tendency for the rate of profit to decline.
They have eroded the social safetynets of the imperial core countries. Blaming the destruction of these systems on the mass immigration from the global south that their exploitation and imperialism have caused.
The “hard times” are when the population of the global south are given alternatives in a bipolar world. With a secondary power unwilling to engage in direct conflict with them. But, are simply, beating capitalism at its own game; and have made the financial capital economy in the west entirely dependent on them.
So, the hard times are here. The rate of profit continues to fall. The “circus” for your population is working hard and easily available due to the internet age. The “bread” is drying up though and the profits cannot be sacrificed to maintain them.
So, Fascism is accepted. The oligarchs stand at the side of the fascist and trust them to serve their interests by offering a scapegoat to the angry masses. The trans people, the immigrants, the “antifas”, and any liberal that says they’re glad Charlie Kirk is dead.
