17. "Contempt is supremely dehumanizing."

Agreed. I agree with you. I am fine with attacks on Trump/Musk/Vance and the RW media. On people in general, no.
I am veering towards the Idiocracy worldview over darker ones. A civil war serves no one.

It was very heated before the election and I think it needs to be calmer. Climate change is a serious issue that requires focus and effort. Of course in this Idiocracy world it is hard to see a way forward.

I don’t think this culture of memes and videos has improved political discourse at all. It has sped up the degradation.

I do think social media and other corporations have sped up the idiocracy.

I am going to log off and drown myself in work mostly. I still pay attention but to the more useful stuff.
