I am if anything, aware of my faggotry.
I think this constant drudgery is already underway, here in the UK we've had a decade of austerity and it's continuing. In London they're screaming for more police yet they've already announced there's going to be more cuts and less officers. This is the trend across the UK on the whole and across all public sectors. As a graduate, alot of my peers are struggling for work and those in public services face long hours with fuck all pay - my gf is on <£16k for a role that requires a degree in a dysfunctional council as they're struggling to hold everything together due to cuts.

Combine that with a mix of an under-employed underclass, struggling working classes (zero-hour contracts) and middle classes squeezed and under pressure even more with living costs/luxuries. People here are fucked off already, I believe Brexit was a direct consequence of that - ignoring all the outcomes, the predictions and models, and any route stemming from Brexit currently is that we either we take the decision back which will alienate 52% of the country that voted for it, or we have a no-deal that'll have the same effect as an immediate depression.

I assume you're in the UK from your post, but do you not get the feeling that the clock is ticking before something big happens here? As in a mattter of when, not if. I'm not sure about the authoritarian side, but I do think Brexit regardless of outcome is going to lead to a shitstorm in the next months. There's no good outcome from it all.
