Can’t help but think it’s worse.

Factor in the world wars and colonialism and other conflicts and just how wealthy Europe has been and for how long … It’s just like can you guys sort your shit out already.

Thinking is too difficult these days. Better to vote a liar who give us some innocent minority group to blame for everything and promise to fix it all. Afterall, what could go wrong?

Ban proprietary attention algos on social media. IMO, with shit like this, it's easy to game the system. Also, maybe Meta/Facebook and TikTok are in on it.

Everybody wants to bash Americans, but the reality is that, as we see time and time again, 1/3rd of any given population is unrepentantly stupid and would throw everyone (including themselves) under the bus just so they can feel good about their “team” winning

1/3rd of people will support anything, no matter how horrific. No matter the consequences. No matter the lack of any underlying logic.

It must be human nature to some extent, otherwise the worst things wouldnt always bottom out at exactly 33% support

Half the people bashing Americans from Europe live in a country with the far right alteady in power. They just don't like it when the fascists target them instead of brown people.

Getting flooded with the exact same fascist propaganda, optimised and targeted using fascist-controlled algorithms and analytics, on fascist-owned platforms and media..

The mental illness of fascism is a cancer that is guaranteed to spread under this information asymmetry, and our pseudo "democracies" allowed this all to be conducted in the open.

Lessons need to be taken from recent elections in Brazil, otherwise it will keep rising
