I respectfully disagree.
I don't find the end of civilization and the subjugation of minorities and women even morbidly funny.
Let's not be hyperbolic. It's not the end of all civilization. It's just the decline of ours. We all learned about stuff like this in history class in high school and college. The Roman Empire declined and fell. Tons of others did the same. It's just our turn. We're not special or exempt from annihilation. Time catches up to everyone.
I don't think it's hyperbole to characterize living in a christo-fascist ethnostate as the end of the world. Empires are made up of people and the decline you're referring to involves the death of a lot of them, so maybe factor that into your apathy equation. It's easy to view civilization as something you learned in high school, but for the people living in it, it actually matters.
