Isn't it remarkable how healthy and wise our society was before 24-hour news. Nowadays we have newfangled problems like "populism", "anger", "Nazis" - say, where does that name even come from?

No, we have a problem with the news selling those fictional things as real. Turn off CNN or OAN wherever you get your firehose of algorithmically generated nonsense from and they magically go away.

  Add Apple News and any bundled phone news app to that list.

  The issue is these things become real when the populists get voted in. So it’s not just a fantasy.

I love this comment. Maybe we wouldn't be in such a quagmire if previous generations had paid a little more attention to current events.
