The most scary fact I have read this week:
In the 2024 US presidential election one third of US voters did not vote.
It was literally a choice between a convicted felon with a fascist agenda and a law and order candidate who wanted to defend democracy — and still, every third US voter did not care.
Apathy is the first step to ending democracy.

“As long as the general population is passive, apathetic,
diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable,
then the powerful can do as they please,
and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.”
