Yea, we're fucked
Putin, russian czar: 'Divide and conquer!' Orban: 'Great, western ukraine is hungarian territory now!' Rest of Europe: 'Who would have known? It is the fault of the immigrants!' /S
I need to graffiti my walls so I remember that we live in the stupid timeline.
I bet, a lot of people felt that way throughout history.
However, given we have the internet, the best access for information we ever had, it's really ridiculous how little people seem to care about spending some time to critically think about their election choice.
Which should tell us that access to information wasn't the problem.
Personally, I think the problem is that the internet allows the worst of humanity to congregate in a virtual space. The sort of people who would have felt completely alone with their "political opinions" (usually involving literal murder) before the internet – because they're such horrifying pieces of shit that nobody wanted anything to do with them – can now find likeminded human garbage online, and feel like their opinions are actually common, acceptable and mainstream. Couple that with the ability to spread disinformation as efficiently as information, and you end up where we are now. There's a reason why so many mass murderers have gotten their "education" on online forums like the various chans. And this isn't even getting into using machine learning to influence peoples' opinions like what corporations Cambridge Analytica and Facebook have provably done already and all in the service of the psychotic conservative agenda, which is a whole 'nother can of worms likely even worse than what we had before.
I unironically think that the internet was a mistake and will be our undoing.
Edit: relevant may-may
Don't fall for the propaganda, the only thing these corrupted politicians will blow up is peasants and their rights. You wish they would blow up the rulers glass palace but they are just going to sit there and do what other rulers do
Aren't the milquetoast CDU types still the plurality?
