    i’d say particularly since COVID began, there’s been a marked uptick in the severity of hard-right, far-right propaganda being shoveled into minority communities in the US, with predictable and disastrous results. this is a part of that pattern and uh, especially since there’s not a developed apparatus to counter it yet it’s not great!

    That was a disturbing read, although very interesting. In Canada, or at least Toronto, we have news broadcasts in almost every major language that’s spoken here, which is a lot. This definitely makes me appreciate the value of that a lot more.

    This reminds me of the free newspapers I would see being handed out to anyone in cities I’ve been to that were available in a myriad of languages.

    I remember visiting a country and people told me that they had been told if a democratic nominee became president that they would be invaded and other misinformation like that. It breaks my heart.
