    As a young person (18yo), I feel like this is mostly true for the internet but not so much in real life. Most people I know don’t believe stupid shit like this, even though there are of course some people that do, at least when it comes to conspiracy theories. Being a nazi, especially here in germany, will make most people, by far, dislike you and there’s a good chance you’ll just get a punch in the face if you tell that to someone. But at the same time, the internet has made people able to communicate with others that share the same stupid opinions so maybe it did increase because they don’t feel like they’re alone in that believe anymore. I can’t really compare it to how it was before the internet tho because I grew up with the internet already being a thing.
