Progressive Politics

I don't believe that. These people spend billions of dollars on media capture to put as many people as possible in a propaganda bubble. The more people you have in the bubble, the more awful shit you can get away with, which is why shit has gotten progressively worse as more people get segmented into echo chambers that foster extremism. It's resilient too, because you can also scam your audience with commemorative coins and stuff, which makes it self-sustain long enough for people to feel like it's just the way things always are. But I don't think it's just that people are awful. Too much money and effort goes into convincing people to be awful to each other for me to believe it's a natural condition.
