Absolutely agree on refusing to stay ignorant. I do not ever want to forget this time or let myself slip into that willful naivety.
For me one moment that shocked me was the overturning of Roe v. Wade (USA abortion protections) by Dobbs. When that decision leaked early, I was nauseous, and kept checking the internet to see it debunked, only to see more proofs of authenticity. Then, watching as the protests stopped, energy trickled down, and life just.. continued. Afterwards, I retreated into being a hikikomori for several years. That core right had been given, then taken away, and the people around me just moved on.
