to be clear it doesn't feel nearly that bad outside the 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.

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.

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.

Sorry I'm sucking up all the Empathy... It will probably get better after I die.

Huh. I thought that was me. Do... do we have to fight now? Like Highlander? CAN THERE BE ONLY ONE?

Its called psychopathy

Western supremacy can only exist in the absence of humanity.

I guess? At the same time I don’t want to live in a world where you can’t tell jokes on a stage or where a bunch of white North American kids are diving in to defend my brown ass from funny jokes about my race that I enjoy

To the ones upvoting this post: Do you, though?
I've politely asked people not to share blown up, screen-wide pictures on this site of my common phobia when it's unrelated to the post and I've been straight up downvoted and insulted, being told I'm exaggerating and "defective".
Phobias are not exaggerations, they can make people do shit because the reaction is visceral when unexpected. I get headaches and feel like shit after. One of my middle school teachers shared that she once almost jumped off a roof when she saw a cat behind her.
E: Aaaand downvotes. 😂 Practice what you preach.
-
Phobias are by their nature irrational, some level of personal responsibility falls on you to protect yourself when going online.
-
Yes, and I practice that but that's not universal and there are many instances where that doesn't work.
And I'd argue: why are we including blown-up, close-up, screen-wide images to posts of interest about programming when the image is completely unrelated? Articles about Python are especially egregious.
I ask precisely because it's out of my control.

Hang on a sec, what's this "common phobia" you have? Fear of flowers? You just might want to stay off the internet and spend some quality time with a therapist - or in an asylum.

Is that referring to something specific?
Half of humanity is a lot of people. Does she mean half of americans?

Authoritarianism is on the ascent worldwide…
