Like I know not everyone is a political commentator and won’t touch politics for fear of ostracizing their audience.

But sometimes seeing most creators not expressing any shock at these unprecedented times makes me think “damn this seems dystopian”.

I imagine what would the world be like if streaming was available during Hitlers rise.

Would people just be living in their bubble of “thanks for watching, hit like and subscribe, and if you use this code on simplisafe you’ll get 20 percent off!” winky face

Idk if I could do it, never talk about it or taking a stand. Its just too big to ignore. At least imo.

What do you guys think? Also lemmy wanted me to add a picture so here’s a picture of my dog.

    What are they supposed to do? Tell their audience to run into the woods and start a protracted people’s war? Get in non-productive arguments with even less-informed chatters?

      Not to this extreme but I have found it comforting just to hear people acknowledge that it’s a fucked up time. Like literally a throwaway line like “with the state of things” or reminding people to take care of themselves or whatever. Something to just recognize that this is not fucking normal but we’re gonna continue to try to do normal cause what the hell else can we do.
