>We should be aware of current events

I have come to the conclusion that there is no way a layman understand the truth about current events. So it is best to not at all be aware of any current events as reported by the media or popular opinion.

For example you say "fascism in America", and I wonder is this guy for real? Fascism? If this was true how are all the people who insult Trump on social media still alive or not locked up?

So imagine if you were running a new outlet. All of your readers will unquestioningly accept your flawed narrative! And imagine there are multiple of such flawed/biased news outlets.

There is no way to know the truth. This is painfully clear when you read stuff in the news that you have first hand knowledge about...There is some name to the fallacy of why people still believe in news despite that...

If there’s no way to know the truth, how do you know you’ve come to the right conclusion?

Did you know Hitler was the president of Germany for about ten years before he started the holocaust?

Was he a fascist during that time?

Fascism is a way overused term. Personally I tend to avoid it unless we're seeing paramilitary forces shooting civilians in the face. Other people may have lower thresholds.

> how are all the people who insult Trump on social media still alive or not locked up

I think you'll find that some of them actually are locked up, and a few of them are dead.

So it can't be fascism or be close it it until we have fully operational death camps?
