      I suspect a lot of people are unhappy and are looking for solutions. They aren’t evaluating their solutions, just latching onto the first things that make them feel like change is possible.

        This is the best explanation of anything I’ve read in years. I think you are spot on. There would be a lot less polarisation online if people understood this.

        I think people are looking outside their persona atomization and realizing the world is much worse than the hegemonic narrative would have us believe. As more information becomes available, old ideology declines. The smug comfort of white bros is disturbed when their moral authority is questioned. If they can’t make lazy jokes about having coffee in a genocide, is anything safe anymore?
