Disagree with a few things said, but fully agree with this bit! Feels more general in population, but I think young ppl grew up in this current distorted media environment, and so it perhaps hits them harder in terms of effect on their character.
I associate this with the way algorithms have distorted the social fabric and moved us all closer to agreeing conversation partners, and further from disagreeing ones. We then fail to engage when we encounter disagreeing partner "in the wild"
