Next, read this: “The Age of Le Pen and Far-Right Populism.”
Every country is facing turmoil as the far right rises. I belong to a generation that never experienced war or fascism, so there's a risk we might repeat the same mistakes. We must learn from history.

Luckily there are not-insignificant number of people like you who *does* recognise it despite not having lived it. It certainly is an uphill battle but if I am not, in the end, an optimist - then what should I do?

I added little people to this world. I really don't want to regret it.

I'm somewhat of a pessimist myself, and there are days when I think it might be better if everything just broke down completely.

But when destruction happens, it's the common people and the vulnerable who suffer—myself and my friends included.

I make a point of actively spreading books when I'm out and about. People who are interested will come up and talk to me.

@Si_chan Yes, it's important to read and reflect books. Thinking as well how an earth we people won't learn from the past experiences. Is it the power and how to use it for your own group's benefits that tricks to do not so nice things to others? I'm against this kind of ideology and chose to spread the opposite message that is based on acceptance of diversity and human rights. I'm horrified what kind of world the older generation is leaving to the younger.

Thank you for your comment. The world doesn’t revolve solely around myself, my family, and my close friends, so even if wealth is concentrated solely among those in power and their inner circle, neither they nor those being exploited will be happy. I may be powerless, but I’ll do my best to have a positive influence on those around me.
