It is and if you can't see it it's because you are being dragged down too.
I'm going to remark something nobody seem to be focusing on. Humans didn't evolve 1 million years to eat processed food and be around artificial everything.
A combination of both. More bad mood going around, impacting you and causing you to perceive things more negatively.
Yeah, there's a gas leak everywhere and where just realizing it.
Who are you referring to as "the whole world", specifically? People on Lemmy? Leftists? Your friends IRL?
People have been trying to ignore the world so they can get their high for the last several decades to the point where one the largest companies advertising on the internet is one where you pay people who label themselves as "councilors" with barely training to gaslight you hopefully to feel better and people know brand name drugs for helping them feel better and suggest them to others if you are wealthy enough. And been struggling to hold onto that sense of normalcy at all costs of the world.
And all of that avoidance meant jack-shit when the real world changed anyways and it didn't just stay the same.
People likely feel lied to and that miserableness spreads like a virus of selfish people doing anything to prove themselves better than others at the cost of others.
