Your comment was down voted because it mentioned a political figure. In today's hyper-polarized society, any mention of politics in a discussion about something apolitical preemptively draws silence or disregard. No one wants to be dragged into an adjacent unproductive argument.
Looking at your other posts, it also seems that you easily show a pessimistic attitude, similar to how old people will complain about younger generations. No one responds positively to such generalizations.
- loceng 6y agoWhat you seem to be claiming as generalizations I can only assume you speak to the holistic view that I often speak from. Mentioning a political figure doesn't necessitate baiting one into a conversation - however yes, it's clear that people are tired, exhausted - and no longer actually read to comprehend, stunting critical thinking throughout what they're reading - and then making an assumption as to what they're reading, and then doing a lazy downvote for a dopamine hit to feel fulfilled - as if they were diligent, reaffirming their assumptions. And I disagree that "no one responds positively to such generalizations" - it doesn't make them untrue, and usually I also reference the solution, policy proposals, to solve the problems.
