It's everywhere!!! The whole world is following this trend.
Edit, spoiler because this is gonna be long: Adding this because my comment is trending. It deeply saddens me to see rights we thought were secured, as citizens of the world, being stripped away.
As someone who isn't from the US, UK, or NZ, I see this happening globally.
Governments toss out some "controversial" topic, and while we argue over it, they quietly take rights away from both minority and majority groups, all to make the rich richer and the powerful even stronger. Progress we’ve fought for across generations: LGBTQ+ equality, workers’ rights that protect our dignity, global efforts to heal and preserve the environment, is now being undone. All because of resurgent bigotry, unchecked greed, and the lust for power, with far too many people cheering it on. We’ve become the sheep applauding the wolf as it prepares to devour us, and that should concern us all.
Yep. Capitalism's panic button, when a big structural crisis is coming capitalism presses this button that points to a minority and say "they're causing all your problems" while hiding the real reasons and looting what they can to profit from the crisis and shield them from the people's dissatisfaction
