> As I watch another flat earth debunking video suggested by youtube to have a laugh I'm wondering ... Am I the part of the problem? I feel the same way. It seems sites like reddit have taken a sharp turn towards pointing out "stupidity" to briefly secure some fleeting sense of mental superiority. I find it mean spirited. It's strange how the zeitgeist of CURRENT_YEAR is fighting both for hyper political correctness and lambasting the mentally unfortunate. I find Gen Z very hypocritical.

This line of reasoning has always felt as dishonest. The arguments you mention where all the hype ten years ago. For instance, hyper political correctness always has ment a double speak word to me for “I want to be racist / misogynistic, but they don’t let me” It’s not about mental superiority, imo it is about turning around polarization and hyperbole. If you’re happen to be “mentally unfortunate” as you put it, I don’t see any lambasting going on. Feel free to give examples. Edit : for clarity
