  • Radicals radicalize radicals.

    Only stable conditions, equaliberiam or entropy deradicalize.

    Social was a flash point. Large parts of society interacted for the first time. Echo chambers formed, energy level increase, radical leave the bubbles and new groups militerize in defense.

    It made less sense to people out of the loop though. Nazis, antifa, police are raciest, lgbtq, Christian nationalism, socialism, etc. All of these ideas were subcultures that grew bubble online cause they could (much like the Arab spring), and the radicals that formed and took action made big moves from everyone else’s ignorance.

    The majority didn’t have the means, and frankly still don’t, to hold the concepts or ideas as unique groups so instead they mapped onto the two party system warts and all. Because “right wing” was Republican the opposing side told everyone “right wing” is Republican. So Republican had to either disavow or defend them, but when these groups wanted to act politically they had almost no choice but to fit in predefined parties.

    Its been mostly good, that’s the crazy thing, gay rights, trans rights, police reforms, the DoJ has how many anti trust cases going on now?, how unions are forming?, etc







  • I mean why? Like there are things I think might be neat that is only really fediverse capable (like the idea of the everything app, by accessing the same data but through the users preferred UIs rather than reposts of screen shots or opaque links), but if someone sees an idea they like, why not run with that too?

    We don’t have to use luckly (its was n3ver my cup of chai).
