it’s a defense mechanism. it’s so much easier to participate in pointless meaningless meme-of-the-moment exchanges than it is to face the un-fun reality that the world around you is burning
unfortunately pointing this out to them will only make them dig their heels in

They are not mutually exclusive, you can face it, then realize there isn’t much you can do (I’m not American) then you see some moths.

what gave you that idea? perhaps the fact that no one’s doing anything but posting moths?
enjoy your moths

The current state of western democracy?
In my personal opinion, one of the most effective things you can do is collective bargaining. And on that note, imo not enough people have been convinced that somethings got to change. You have to have that consensus before real change.

Western neoliberal democracy isn’t the only option and, depending on perspective, was part of the problem by systemically enabling the rise of fascism.
