And this has been a manufactured outcome. The average american is a victim of several different competing and collaborating forces who used the KGB playbook to amplify all the worst takes on both sides of every social issue in America. This isn't wild conspiracy talk, it was exposed, we ~~have~~ had a CIA department developed just to combat this tactic. It's been done in other places to great success as well. It's part of the recipe for taking down entire nations.
What happens is when every social issue, no matter how small or benign or silly, gets amplified on social media to absurd levels of contention and confusion and then boosted to national news outlets, it leaves citizens tired, confused and checked out on literally everything. Nobody cares about making their world better because they don't know how to take cues from others anymore. So now when the state delivers messages, people default to agreeing with it. It's why we have people believing the silliest nonsense that the Trump administration pushes out, it's why people elected him and the rest didn't even care enough to vote.
This has all been the product of people with the wealth to hire farms of trolls and influencing agents spread through every level of our society in ways both subtle and overt. If you can break a society you can then reshape it into whatever you want.
Yeah, pretty depressing huh?
Hopefully effort becomes cool again.
This is a succinct line about the state of things.
I talk to a lot of young men who are being pulled right towards people like Andrew Tate and his spawn, because they're confused and angry that they can't get dates and don't have friends, meanwhile they don't talk with any level of passion or pride about anything in their lives, make no effort to take care of themselves or have pride in their clothes, their presentation or their way of speaking, when they're around other guys it's the Sarcasm Olympics, and anyone who talks frankly about their feelings gets mocked... and then these guys will go on to scream how they deserve more from others and how they're victims.
