Twitter pretty rotten last few days Finding myself retreating into work, exercise, relationships, hobbies The dynamic after shootings is pretty predictable and bad

Practically, it makes sense. If you can generate a critical mass in public sentiment while there's a salient rallying cry, you might be able to effect a preference cascade And if you might end up on the potential butt end of that cascade it's important to be extremely vocal too

Usual caveat linked, but a lot of the dynamic I see could be explained with this one simple trick I doubt much of it is conscious as the normie level but you know Talking points get around, and I imagine it's partially instinctivehttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/967114911401652225?s=19 …

I wonder if there's a missing mood everywhere here It's a big part of what feels gross I don't think anyone is reacting to the object level emotionally, only to the social opportunity it presents or the threat it poses

Weird to me how Trump implying he would find a way to expedite capitol punishment hasn’t kicked any alarms off yet.

The bad part of 1) is it's used to tie to a larger poltical group to place blame on them. The shooters tend to fall into some outgroup in some manner definitionally. Most seem to care to place blame rather than to understand why they fall into an outgroup. The Blame Game.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
