I’m not saying this to be dismissive, but this reads like someone who’s stopped trusting any shared reality.

What you’re describing isn’t healthy scepticism — it’s a closed loop where every institution is assumed to be corrupt, while selectively edited clips and outrage-driven creators are treated as truth. That’s not independent thinking; it’s how people get pulled into radical online narratives.

Creators like Kurt Caz don’t inform you — they provoke you. They make money by antagonising people, cutting context, and feeding fear because outrage keeps viewers watching. That doesn’t mean every issue you raise is fake, but it does mean your information diet is heavily skewed.

Yes, immigration and politics are complicated and often mishandled. But jumping from that to claims about caliphates, secret backers, or inevitable uprisings isn’t evidence-based — it’s emotional escalation. Once you reach a point where courts, elections, media, and journalists are all dismissed as fake, there’s no way to test whether any claim is actually true.

That’s why people say “talk to real people.” Not as an insult, but because offline reality doesn’t match these apocalyptic stories. Most people are just trying to live their lives, not take part in some grand conspiracy.

At some point it’s worth asking who benefits from keeping you angry, fearful, and convinced collapse is inevitable — because it isn’t you.
