    Idk I saw news and discussion for all these things and when I brought them up with people I know they also heard of them. We all have a somewhat wide diversity on how we learn about current events too.

    I dont think the disinformation/distraction machine is working as well as it thinks

      Agreed, my friends knew about 90% of these and most of them are not on Lemmy. I think the weak link, or the one most hadn’t heard of, is the new funding bill that grants Trump more crazy powers to thwart the justice system … but at this point who can be surprised by that.
