Ignorance is bliss, eh? But don't come and pull off the "we didn't know anything" excuse that the Germans used in droves after 1945.

And no, that's not exclusive to Trump and what ICE has been up to, vanishing people into deportation camps. Climate change, the increasing frequency of pandemics, PFAS/forever chemicals, the list of stuff being swept under the rug instead of being acted against grows longer by the day.

Reads like the very news feeds have been giving people mental health issues for decades and decades.

Perhaps fewer and fewer people believe let alone like to have your patter as their internal monologue.

Which amounts to an agreement to have your extremist / alarmist voice forever in their heads lest climate change leads to the H word. I think that I have that about right, if your post is to be believed.
