And the takeover of media and other ways to control how people think, creating the echo chambers to tell you what is real and what isn't. There are echo chambers everywhere, it's human nature to settle where you feel best and confirming of your world views. But the Fox News et al is a totally artificial and heavily walled version of this, for that purpose. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

It really is that simple. As someone who's gone through the enshittified version of school, I can attest shit is bad. I'm even more astonished this isn't an every second talking point.

This is a long-term solution and a short term fix.
