    It’s a shame that even here in the Fediverse, people downvote you just for stating the obvious.

    The ideological blindness in the U.S. is apparently so strong that many simply fail to realize that they are the bad guys, that their regime is pure evil.

    Even under a degenerate monster like the current U.S. president, many Americans simply cannot see through all the lies being drummed into them by those who have been exploiting them for years on end.

    It really seems hopeless…

      Between the smorgasbord of propaganda and ratings slop, withered attention spans and critical thinking skills, temporarily embarrassed millionaires and gilded age inequality, and folks that just can’t face how bad things really are, yea we are pretty fucked I guess. I don’t think the US is alone in that regard, but indeed beacon on a hill for a humanity in peril. OH my god did I just quote fucking Reagan?!

        I completely agree. I fear that this global trend is linked to the combined power of mentally ill individuals who have amassed so much power that they are now using their pernicious influence to establish a kind of new, transnational monarchy of billionaires.

        I can’t think of any other explanation for the resurgence of inhuman fascism in so many countries at the same time.

      It’s really hard to believe how many people are so willingly evil in the US. These people are worthless and I’d do anything to fucking leave this shithole filled to the brim with cynical monsters
