I come from a white suburban middle class background and from what I can tell the answer is no, atleast among this demographic. The main concern is not the threat of fascism but rather how Trump’s policies will affect the economy. Even here there is a certain level of denial. I hear a lot of reassurances that things will bounce back eventually. Most people simply do not get it, especially in the older generations.

Cat decided to sneak in and lick my foot. Wasn’t expecting that so it made me tense up and I slammed my head into a wall hard enough that we had to stop
No worries lol, I do the same thing quite often. I think I should have made that clear in my comment anyway knowing that it is a common myth that does a lot of harm.
Add some cotija if you have some
Stop using the internet. You will literally never be safe online. If a fascist regime like the US wants to find you it will.
Oh yeah absolutely I didn’t mean to imply that LSD or psychedelics in general reveal any grand truths. They just make you think about yourself from perspectives you normally couldn’t and open you up to ideas you would normally reject without thought. It can be an opportunity for growth but I have also seen it turn people into paranoid shells of themselves who believe conspiracies so outlandish as to be pure fantasy.
I really wish I had the dexterity to create textiles especially through crochet but I think my autism makes it much harder for me. I would also love to make rugs similar to the Incan style but this requires much more skill and probably equipment. In a very different vain I love pottery because it gives me the ability to create little creatures but access to a kiln is not available where I live, clay is expensive, and I am always too busy.
You have to curate your feed yourself. Personally I use the all feed and block what I don’t like because I enjoy seeing new communities. I also recommend the jerboa app if you have an android, its free, open-source, made by lemmy devs, and doesn’t have ads.
Also many of us are communists or anarchists so prepare for political takes you aren’t used to.
Everything started with when I took LSD about 5 weeks ago
Classic, so many introspective journeys have started this way lol. Same way I realized I am definitely 100% autistic
Absolutely shocked, no one could have predicted this
The actions of capitalist are always inherently political when they affect the working class but I know what you mean
The issue is not necessarily social media as a concept its how social media interacts with the profit motive to encourage addiction and hate. It is silly to blame the tool which why I blame the capitalists who have nearly monopolized ownership of the tool and use it to divide us.
They involve killing people and you gotta make sure you aren’t the one being killed which is easier to do if your enemy doesn’t knows your plans
Makes sleeping much harder for me most of the time
If by poor representation you mean misrepresentation then Islam hands down. If you meant lack of representation then I’d say zoroastrianism and celtic paganism. There are plenty others I’d love to see but I picked what I did because we know enough about them with enough certainty on details that we could accurately represent them if we tried. I’d also love to see Bedouin paganism and Mayan mythology accurately represented in popular media but this is much more difficult to accomplish.
Honestly, democracy is incomplete without economic democracy. You could have a million political parties but it wouldn’t matter because all of them would still support the supremacy of the bourgeosie. Those with actual power, the business owners who control all of our material resources, would not allow them to exist otherwise. We never had democracy but this is only just now becoming apparent to the general populace because the fascists have made themselves obvious and the liberals have only enabled them.
If it is possible for a stateless society to exist long term then there is likely no longer a need for militaries.
