Speaking as someone living in Hungary, to friends in the #USA:
The greatest weapon the system has is outrage fatigue. Doing so many unimaginable things at the same time that people just sigh and go on. Having so many things to protest that you run out of days and hours. Piling on so you start focusing on surviving with your bare mental health day to day.
Pick your cause and stick to it. Support others who focus on different causes. Don't try to do everything at once.

Especially about the fatigue.
I have been trying to tell my friends not to burn out , take a rest and then come back stronger.
That extended adrenaline rush isn't healthy.
Thanks for posting this!!

Overloading works really well through outrage, of course.

The Gaza protests proved this point. People protesting those were so single focused they blamed the rest of us for supporting the "genocide" because we weren't equally upset by it.
Wrong, we were fighting other fights of equal import.

ALL 435 seats in the US #House of Representatives and 33 of the 100 seats in the #Senate up for election- This is critical. Support the democratic candidate in your state. If we take majority here it would be powerful. 🚨

My background is related to information theory. Communicating a certain event transmits no information. An account of Trump saying something offensive or fascistic isn't really news or information.

But this pick a cause and stick with it? Miss me with that.
Dr. Zalka Csenge Virág •
I didn't mean only care about one cause. Care about and support everything you can. I also donate to a bunch of things and attend events, but I only actively work for one field (namely, the crumbling child protection system). I do that full time, though.

They want to leave the UN refugee treaty...
There is so much more, it's impossible to list here. It's a clown show. A circus.
TBF, I mostly just stopped trying to keep up with all the news and focus on my hobbies and friends. There will probably be new elections anyway quite soon.
But you are right!

They're actually one fraction in Europe, but it goes a bit further then that. Not only is Orbán his biggest friend and inspiration, his wife is Hungarian (presumably not the fun kind) and the minister for the economy was special representative for the

And of course Mr Wilders immediately started following his greatest friend and idol.

But he goes to copy policy.

It's a circus. Which is why I have basically checked out, it's depressing af, and I know I don't really have to be worried about my hobby and community at least (probably niche enough to just be ignored, since they don't really give a shit, they just want to look as appearing to do something for their conservative voters in the countryside so they keep getting reelected right?) since, well, fav con IS there and thriving xD
UkeBLCatboy •
But yeah, Netherlands not great rn. Probably new elections sometime soon though.
Also, Germany, afd is rising. France, le pen least seats but most votes by a wide margin. Belgium, they did good too. Western Europe isn't so much
UkeBLCatboy •
Anyway, it's all very double plus unfun as 1984 would put it, so again I kinda avoid the news and just enjoy my cons and cosplay and other fandom things with my friends now xD
Actually will be back for winter mondo in January, with a Belgian friend, and like always, I can't wait XD but first Dutch Comic Con, and a Christmas themed small one next month. Life is still good!
UkeBLCatboy •
It's REALLY fun! Well I mean, of course, otherwise I wouldn't spend 8% of my yearly income to go every time despite us having plenty of cons too 😂
So yeah that's why I'm over there every 3 months. And I've been bringing friends from here over too and they all want to go again xD
If you like anime (or comics or scifi or old games or something tbh, it's all there, but it's mostly anime XD) you should go sometimes. It's the best!
