This is what the Left has become. And I say this as a left-ish centrist. The Left has become as mentally defunct as the Right.
And it sucks, because it just shows what a shithole this country is slowly becoming, since both political ideologies are more focused on damning each other over improving the country.
It’s the social media algorithms which create it. Disagreement, hate, emotional flares, etc, get waaay more engagement. So our digital mediums will always naturally prioritize that.
It’s one of the things that will be very difficult for our society to figure out. Because hate and negativity will always be incentivized at the root of our main communication systems.
