It probably looks that way but people don’t want to talk to you on a bus or in a cafe. Kids are doing just fine, despite how you think they should be behaving. When you talk about political extremism, be reminded 27,000 people were killed, per day, for 4 years during WW2. The Afghan war went on for 20 years and estimated casualties are under 200k. Any loss of life is awful and war sucks, but let’s not act like this “rise in facism” is resulting in atrocities of the same scale.

Just because the media makes its money fear mongering doesn’t mean we’re worse off by any means.
