Do you feel that the world is swiftly heading toward authoritarianism

It definitely seems like many people are worried that the world is moving toward authoritarianism. You can see signs of this in various places where world governments are tightening control over freedoms, cracking down on dissent, and undermining democratic institutions. It's a concerning trend, especially when you think about how important those freedoms are for a healthy society.

You might be thinking what steps are worlds governments making towards total authoritarianism?

Well let's start with suppressing dissent

They’re cracking down on protests and arresting activists and journalists who speak out.

We all know they controlling media

Governments are censoring news and limiting independent journalism, ensuring only their perspective gets out.

They are always undermining the courts

They're weakening the independence of judges and making laws that let them act without oversight.

Everyone thought google and fuckbook was so great when it came out, but it increased surveillance on us.

More are monitoring citizens through technology, making people feel like they can’t speak freely. Like I'm doing right now, at any moment my door could be kicked in and I would be shot for typing this...EVEN IN THE GOOD OL' U.S. OF A.

How many times have you seen your country leader using emergency powers

Governments often use crises to expand their powers, limiting rights without real checks. Ooo...yeah they get real power grabby there

What about political repression

They persecute political opponents, skew elections, or ban parties to stay in power.

These actions chip away at democracy.

People are becoming more credulous and willing to believe these peoples' black-and-white interpretation of the world without engaging their critical faculties. Autocrats do not appear out of thin air. They are created by the people.
