Hi r/GenZ we’ve noticed an uptick in fear-mongering and misinformation posts.
Note I’m not saying that you guys shouldn’t be afraid, and share how you’re feeling about this administration.
Your concerns are very much valid this is mostly related to fabricated articles, and tweets.
Please find a source, and don’t take all bad news at face value, do your research, and please report anything that looks suspicious.
We would love to hear your feedback regarding any concerns that you may have about the content that you see regularly on this sub.
Edit: If you don’t get a direct reply to any of your questions I'm not ignoring you guys I'm just occupied with work atm.
All comments will be reviewed, and taken into consideration.
Best regards

You guys are blowing this way out of proportion. I literally just said in the post thar sharing your concerns is valid. Complaining about Trump’s agenda is not fear-mongering!!! Here is an example of what I was talking about

Posts like this is the reason I created this thread.

It’s not fear mongering if the threat is real. A billionaire has full access to treasury with zero consequences, and nobody to regulate him. This is a national security threat, that isn’t being addressed enough.

Why are you now only worried about fear-mongering and misinformation posts when it’s supposedly critical of the Trump administration?

This is why I prefer the Zillennial subreddit. 💀 I'm sorry I have yet to see something the current administration has done that will benefit me or my loved ones. We have Canadians BOOING our national anthem 🤣

I've noticed that MAGA dummies are using this phrase more and more lately; seems like those guys learned something new and are just applying it to news that doesn't agree with their feelings. It's pretty pathetic how hypocritical the political right is and always has been.

You only want to take down fear mongering when it's critical of Trump. This isn't like a few years ago when everything was needlessly political for no reason. My rights and your rights and all of our rights are under attack. This is starting to feel like blatant censorship. I've seen multiple factual posts, including my own, get taken down for seemingly no reason other than being critical of Trump. What's that about?

Fear-mongering implies an invalid reason to be fearful. It's not fear-mongering to be warning about the consequences of broad tariffs, the illegal actions of a president overstepping his authority against the word of the constitution, the erasure of trans people from government sources, and the ransacking of our federal institutions and their secure systems by private citizens (DOGE is NOT a government agency, it is an NGO with no federal authority), just to name a few instances that come to mind.
How does the boot taste?

We all should be scared. It’s very scary. No moderating of reality is going to change that.

At this point if you think fear mongering is a problem worth posting about you either aren’t paying attention or don’t care about the constitution, rule of law and future of democracy in the US.
There are lots of sources that will get you up to speed. Rolling Stone, Wired, The Guardian, Prorepublica to name a few. Mainstream news is owned by people who want you to lose your rights, you won’t get anything from them.
We are very clearly, no question at all, in the midst of a constitutional crisis. Elon Musk is in control of the huge swaths of the federal government, he is shutting down entire agencies despite being unelected and lacking any security clearance. He has literally taken over the Treasury Dept, the agency that holds and distributes trillions of dollars to fund every single dept/agency of our federal government. If that scares you, it should.

Oh, you can fuck right off. I know personally three people that lost their jobs this weekend because of Trump and Musk actions. Doctors, researchers, anyone in the federal government, should all be terrified right now. This entire post proves you have no idea what’s going on in the world and what Trump is doing right now.

Damn y’all weren’t this worried Nov 6 when this sub basically turned into a war zone of insults and horrible content. I read things so offensive I still can’t believe it.
