Because the disinformation warfare targets anglosphere.
I’m going to say like 95% of humanity. And I’m really talking worldwide, not just US. We have been made apathetic. The world would be better if the average person cared more.
I am going to say 99% of the wealthy people in charge of media could care less about humanity. This creates an illusion that this is normal since all our media echoes their sentiments. The world would be a better place if they were not in charge.
the wealthy people in charge of media could not care less about humanity
I will remember that for when I write a formal piece. Thanks Grammar Nazi!
Grammar uber alles.
I think a lot of it is overload from the Internet. Our brains are simply not designed to handle the unfathomably immense, endless torrent of information.
It happened on a much smaller scale before, the common trope of younger people being more idealistic and it generally fading away as the years go by. But now that progression is happening at hyper speed, and it's getting faster daily.
This isn't fuvking passive. This is actively cultivated by the fuckers who control the algorithms, because it makes it easier to turn us against our own interests so we can be exploited.

Well the good news is that it's way less than half of humanity. Most of humanity consists of nice respectable people that sometimes have disagreements.
Then there is a sliver of criminals that steal your car, for example. These are assholes
Then there is a tiny sliver of narcissistic psychopathic people that steal everything, give back nothing, cause nothing but misery and death and then tell you it's your fault. These are the scum of the earth and we should leave them with nothing so that they know how it is.
For many minorities there is a lot more than a sliver of humanity that hold very hateful views against them. Like, I'm not saying that most people are homophobic but it's an awful damn lot.
I think that's more a societal issue than a personal one. I think most anti gays either don't really have a big issue with gays personally, or are just plain gay themselves (it's a trope at this point for a reason) but they can't express this freely
I think most anti gay sentiment is just people shouting along with everyone else even though most people like gays or just don't care.
Basically, being different is always a good reason to be scapegoated. You are Jewish? I have this problem which I can shove on your back, making it your problem. This too applies to gays, and what not.
This is coming from a married bisexual man whose had group fun with loads of gay guys (and girls and trans and...). Don't ever think I can freely say to people in my social circle what I do in my private live, because I can't.
I'm sure that will be very comforting to all the people who still live in places where they can be executed for crimes like "sodomy" or "heresy".
Sorry I'm sucking up all the Empathy... It will probably get better after I die.
Sorry I'm sucking up all the Empathy
Huh. I thought that was me. Do... do we have to fight now? Like Highlander? CAN THERE BE ONLY ONE?
Yeah but for empathy so you got it backwards.
