Pure mass hysteria on any matter these days is all thanks to the Like and Follower counter based reward system.
Over energetic, mindlessly ambitious, attention craving lunatics on the Left and Right get propped up and
dominate all discussion these days thanks to the counts.
Everyone else has to enter into Count accumulating arms race to even be allowed into the room to speak.
The counts enable the best panderers in society and validate everything they do and say.

- colechristensen 6y agoAbout the only thing that has really solidly changed over the last several thousand years is the near eradication of warlike hunter-gatherers and human sacrifice/cannibal societies. Every other stupid human behavior (and enlightened human behavior) is more or less the same now as it has been as long as there’s been civilization. Most of the obnoxious things people do are features of our biology, not some emergent effect of the blame target du jour.
