Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

It’s not conscious on the part of most. The vast majority of folks are ignorant to the effects of politics on their lives, again because their lived experience shows that it doesn’t matter to how they live their lives.
People get together and go to church every weekend because it’s what they grew up doing. They don’t question because questions got you beat or yelled at. So they live their lives in the manner that chafes less. Anything that upsets the very delicate balance of their lives gets ignored, because paying attention to it risks an upheaval of how they live their lives.
Sure, there are plenty that cross the line into actually believing that the Nazis in power are okay, but most honestly don’t care. They don’t vote, say they did to the one friend they have that cares, and move on. Most don’t even consume news, much less read articles. They’re ignorant.
I should also add that your attitude of helplessness in this matter illustrates my point nicely.
I’m only saying what I’ve observed, not that I personally feel that way. If anything, I probably over-consume political content and right now I’m pissed the fuck off that we had two world wars over this shit and we can’t seem to get rid of the Nazis.
Yes, ideology has to be actively and persuasively countered by those who are more objective.
Which is why people are so irritated by all the us citizens posting “don’t blame me!”
