yeah. over here, most people are sick and hostile to each other and under some spell of propaganda where they think only others are under the spell while being falsely certain they themselves are not.

it leads to an environment where if you are one of the few asking questions, leading for change, trying to help others by criticizing popular leaders you get attacked by your fellow country men and women. it isn't a great place to talk and organize and ask questions in most environments.

im sure a few small, niche, safe spaces for curiosity and breaking from corruption and lies and deceit exist. they just feel to be fewer and farther between.
