Fair enough, a third of Americans are fascists and a third are too beaten down or stupid to care.
Possibly accurate.
Honestly, as much as I'm grieved and angered by what the world is right now, I find it really hard to fault the average person for choosing ignorance in the face of the monstrous realities of everyday modernity. I know that things could be so much better, and I want them to see it too, and fight for it. (Thus why I made my account on slrpnk.net.)
But, it feels unfair for me to expect something of them that they may be unequipped to handle mentally and/or emotionally. Perhaps I'm just too nice—and perhaps that's the burden of having a big heart. Or perhaps I'm just too weak, and tough love would be more caring. I'm still figuring it out myself. 💔
