You are so right, there is literally evidence all around us of what fascists and authoritarians are doing and how they are seeking more power and more authority. Some people act like staying informed about these issues is the hardest thing in the world!! I actually find it extremely difficult to take a break from seeing oppression and hearing stories of authoritarian violence because it pervades so much of our lives, especially here in amerikkka. But some people still want to behave as though the truth is hidden away and hard to discover.

I used to think that these types of people only got their news from mainstream sources, but even within mainstream media there is evidence everywhere, so now I usually assume the people claiming difficulty in discovering truth are really saying that they want to believe the lies they're told, they don't want to be exposed to the truth. Almost every time it turns out that they want to remain comfortable in their lives without understanding how that comfort is produced.
