#Babel is not a #story about tribalism. It’s a story about the #fragmentation of everything.
...
The #digital #revolution has shattered that mirror, and now the public inhabits those broken pieces of glass. So the public isn’t one thing; it’s highly fragmented, and it’s basically mutually hostile. It’s mostly people yelling at each other and living in bubbles of one sort or another.
...
“Those who express sympathy for the views of opposing groups may experience backlash from their own cohort.” In other words, political #extremists don’t just shoot darts at their enemies; they spend a lot of their ammunition targeting dissenters or nuanced thinkers on their own team. In this way, #social #media makes a political #system based on #compromise grind to a halt.

Just what you could expect.. What a mess!
One positive note, my package from the UK is already in the Netherlands, so a Trade-war will not affect my stupidly expensive coffee grinder buy. Just in time so to say, and yes that is a 'tad' egotistical.
Is there some UK citizen that can explain to me why Boris is driving the UK-Brexit-Bus further over the cliff? Is the man simply insane? Or is there a target on the horizon that will give all of this a meaning?

Bonhoeffer‘s Theory of Stupidity
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww47bR86wSc
#DietrichBonhoeffer argued that #stupid #people are more #dangerous than #evil ones. This is because while we can #protest against or fight evil people, against stupid ones we are #defenseless — reasons fall on deaf ears. #Bonhoeffer's famous text, which is slightly edited for this video, serves any #free #society as a #warning of what can happen when certain people gain too much #power. #theory #stupidity #sprouts

I always used to loose my mind about every fucking article about "men" and their role in society and how things are going and how it used to be.
Same thing with super ingenious thoughts about **the youth"* idiots -_-
