People here will literally tell you “I don’t want to hear about it” but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don’t Look Up moment.

    I mean, who are you talking to…? The ones I talk to are going to protests. But also, I’m not hearing much about it because people are busy with their lives and are generally not very interested in talking about things they cant do anything about. Instead we talk about each others lives and goals, relationships, jobs, projects, hobbies, music.

    If somebody came up to me and started trying to get me riled up about Iran, I would say “Yep, sure does suck. Can’t wait til somebody assassinates that sumbitch.” And that would be the end of the conversation.

      Not really relevant to OP, but if you’re just talking to activists, you’re probably going to end up out of touch. It’s an extremely small minority.

      Apathy is a powerful tool for fascist regimes. The same happened in Italy and Germany back in the day
