Nationalist populist authoritarianism infecting the world spreads like wildfire/cancer. Godly or Satanic?

    Neither.

    I personally don't believe either exists.

    Those who do, insist God gave humans free will ... so God has no control over Earth.
    And Satan is not all-powerful.  All the stories about him show he has to persuade someone to do what he wants.  So it's still human will.

    Replace the word GOOD for God and the word BAD for Satanic Walt. What is your position here? Are you a proponent of the  racist white nationalist populist autocratic despotic dictatorial authoritarianism spreading across the world? Or are you appalled and dismayed and disgusted and disturbed? Don't get locked into religion. God represents good. Satan represents evil. Is white nationalist populist autocratic despotic dictatorial authorian rule your cuppa tea or not? Why? Thank you for your reply. God or no God. Satan or no Satan. They are not the point. Good or bad is.

    I see it as the current trend as part of the natural cycle of politics.
    There is always a "pushback" against a people immigrating to new areas, by those currently living there.
    Sometimes it leads to violence, sometimes not.
    It has been happening in America since the first interaction between peoples ... even going back to natives vs vikings.

    I believe this reaction tendency is hardcoded in our genetic past.
    However, we have always reached a point of equilibrium (or acceptance of the new) ... until the next wave of migrants.
    That's not to say we should accept hate speech or violence towards others who are different.
