One feeder that I haven’t seen talked about is the fact that Americans are busier than any other country I know of. As a psychotherapist, when I’m working with ppl to overcome their depression and horror at what is happening, and I ask them how they might get involved in activism or creating alternatives, many ppl respond that they’re overworked, underpaid, and exhausted. This is especially true for young parents - childcare is expensive and not subsidized.
I wonder if this is part of why so many Americans who haven’t propagandized themselves into a patriotic stupor with Fox News — who get how horrible this all is - are still not getting involved? Because we don’t have time?
Thank you for this. I think we need to discuss more and highlight this feeders of fascism. List it all out
I was thinking the same thing!
