Political division and propaganda inciting outrage are flourishing, yes.
My concern is there is no antidote for this in the horizon it’s just more and more stupid getting traction all the time. You have to put a lot of faith in common sense to stay optimistic.
- moritzwarhier 1y agoI agree with this, Neil Postmans "Amusing ourselves to death" is still a good read in 2025. The only antidotes I can imagine are honesty and real community: make whatever you want from this, it should be obvious by now that global cut-throat capitalism does not lead to democracy, or to efficient resource usage (externalization...), or to equality.
- bamboozled 1y agoHonestly my concern is WW3 fueled on propaganda. The ONLY reason I think this might not happen is because people are too amused to even bother fighting a war now. I'm not joking.
