I see this in this forum, I see it on Reddit, I see it on Facebook, I see it in all the media channels, I see it in newspaper articles.
I see that the way people discuss things about the country with a constant mocking/joking manner. whenever you want to have a civil and data-driven discussion we as a nation start with pseudo-humoristic remarks about everything that has very serious consequences. In most cases, it feels like people don't really give a damn about the issues and overall impact of that issue on their own lives and just need some topic of discussion for the sake of discussion.
Whenever I talk with relatives, friends I notice this. This might be that I am too invested in these problems but how can you not be, you or your family is living there, how can you ignore and even make fun of the issues.
There are so many examples but I will give one, I have a relative who is not doing very well financially, he is old too so not a chance of improvement but he is getting by in his life, he always teases me that he will vote N league because Imran khan destroyed the country and things like that, each time I try to explain to him the bigger picture of currency, macro-economics, subsidies, shadow economy, mafias, bureaucracy, judiciary and he can not give any answer about it and kind of submit to be points but still he is unable to process this that not taking this serious is much more hazardous to him compared fo me but still he is insistent on making light of things. Most people I see online are like this, for them, everything is a joke, there is a serious divide between their approach toward understanding the issues and understanding its link to their own lives. Please tell me that I am not alone and there are people who are really concerned about this and also hoping for the better.
