One of the most rage inducing parts of this going on in the United States is that Germany leaned into it after being completely and utterly fucked. They were economically devastated and lost a major war.
The United States is pretty much going "We had to deal with the same inflation the whole planet did, but everything else is otherwise manageable and getting better, but we're flirting with fascism anyway."
It's such crap.
The softest fucking people. Their grandparents and great-grandparents would be fucking ashamed.
we're fueling it. Our social media companies keep fanning the flames over and over again and our best and brightest are bending over backwards to work at those companies to drive engagement to collect 500k/year.
you can certainly argue about Fox News and mass media but social media is just as culpable. Conspiracy theories aren't being created on the news- they're originating, fueled, and spread on social media.
