I'm talking about a long term trend, not covid. I don't think fascists will take over America because of the pandemic, if that's what you thought I meant. America is slowly losing it's position as hegemon and its society becomes constantly more stratified. That's all before you even factor in climate change and the effect that's gonna have to even put food on the table. Long term, a slide in to fascism should be expected. They aren't doing shit during the pandemic because they don't care, these were mostly the people who wanted no lockdown for the inconvenience it would cause them, they don't give a shit about mass death if they think they'll be fine and they still get to be comfortable.
It's not impossible to create a mass movement in the digital age. People are perfectly capable of organising, it's just that the nations where the internet is the most accessible, the people are the most comfortable. When the world really starts to degrade, masses of people will be more willing to join radical movements on both ends of the political spectrum, regardless of technology.

Yes it is! Dude people got netflix, Lays potato chips, legal or mostly legal weed, and free internet. Mass movements are fucking dead! It's all atomization from here on out
All that other "america is losing it's postition" shit
Dude, You relize none of that matters right? They don't see that! Those numbers, them graphs, whatever BS you show to people to show them that America fuckin sucks now they just ignore! Fuckin hell, how old are you? Reality! IS! DEAD! none of it matters! As long as you get those fucking cucks watching the right fucking screens you will never see change, and they have literal AI and every behavioral scientist and psychologist in the world making sure they will
You're assuming peoples lives will stay as comfortable as they are now. Like I said, things are going to get much worse long term. Maybe they can keep the netflix if that infrastructure can be supported, but that'll mean fuck all when they can barely survive. I mentioned americas change in power because that is a factor that directly effects its citizens material conditions. This relatively luxurious lifestyle you speak of is built on exploitation of the third world that may not be able to continue as severely when America can't roll over whoever it likes. Then there is climate change and the dwindling resources these luxuries are in large part based on. If America can't support that lifestyle anymore, people will look for it to come back. That's when you'll have socialist movements looking to redistribute and create a more efficient system, and fascist movements promising to regain previous glory. You're talking about an obvious reality, that comfortable people don't put their lives at risk, and acting like something fundamental has changed in people and it doesn't matter how material conditions change from here on out.
