Man! What the hell are you talking about ! It’s both sides . The issue isn’t right or left , or black or white , or pink polk a dots or orange swirly lines … it’s the inability of people to find common ground and understand that the only way forward is the grey area .
The moment Facebook (which was the first ) figured out how to design algorithms to keep you engaged on thier platforms , usually through outrage based media , whatever your political, religious or social persuasion , is the moment , was the moment we all got screwed .
It is NOT a good thing to only talk to like minded people ! It is NOT a good thing to see everything as US or them , or some kind of tribal battle ground !
the fact people felt compelled to storm the White House over political beliefs to stage a coup , or to shoot a presidential candidate because they don’t like his message is NOT a good thing .
The inability of people to hear the other point of view on any topic is becoming more and more .
And whether people realise it or not , the best word to describe this is Radicalisation!!! Think about that word . And think about how you associate it .
If it causes you to have some kind of reaction , then you should probably have a think about whether or not being so rigid on any issue is where you truely want to be .
