Most people aren’t these YT commenters or Twitter megaphones like Donald Trump.
It’s an attention amplification mirage. But we’ve fed the trolls and given them power.
IMO if folks were largely aware of that, they’d be burning down the headquarters of Big Tech, Big Media, stuff like that. Instead, it makes them depressed because it looks like all other humans are mad, and I find that really sad.
You definitely have a point. They’re not a majority of people. They’re just so loud and noisy the real majority can’t have a decent conversation anymore.

This includes the ‘assholes’ who have been indocrinated for decades.
