Eh, depends. With the loosening of regulations, these areas may become hazardous - ripe for disposal of waste after anything valuable has been extracted
True but more and more people are wising up to what’s going on, Canada and Australia are examples of that. I will also say the spearheads of the Authoritarian rise are Elon, Trump and Putin, none of which are very smart men. They WILL fuck up bad at some point and they WILL be brought down by it.
Just look at WW2. The only Authoritarians to survive were the ones who kept to themselves or were already being attacked by other Authoritarians. These chucklefucks will eat each other alive if given the chance which is all people need to deal with them.
You don’t need to hope, the cracks are already there. Elon’s power dwindles by the minute, Trump is too high on his own supply to think about his tenuous situation and Putin is stuck in the bog that is Ukraine with the vultures circling him for a while. There will be more pain but it will end.

Fascism and authoritarian regimes are on the rise - and the wealth and influence of those supporting them seems ever growing.
