Lately, I’ve been having a hard time getting doing my hobbies because I’ve doom-scrolled to bad news, and devastating facts related to the Right (wingers), and a religious majority: Muslims.

I am not going to say EVERYTHING bad I have learned related to the majority of Muslim countries, but I’ll say these two: Queers, and Apostates (of Islam), face very harsh stigma, and way-too-often get killed by Zealots. It has been like that for over 40 years.

I’ve also learned that the Right has gotten more power in some countries like Italy.

I have failed to find ANY positive information, and news about these topics, and because of that I am very worried that the world will become a Right-wing dystopia, and that the problems I have mentioned will never change for the better.

I’m trying to stay calm and hopeful about this, but I feel insecure about things getting better, and I keep stressing about it. I don’t know how to help myself right now.

EDIT: forgot to mention that many people (online at least) are being pessimistic about it, which isn’t helping me.

    Because you talk about muslims like they only exist in the form of hard-line state fundamentalists

      I think you’re right now. And to be fair, I didn’t read the news sources I have read, cause I was too stressed to read them fully. Unfortunately that led me to over-generalize.

      Though, I’m now uncertain of how many “religious crazies” there really are.
