Outgroup Derangement Syndrome, ODS. We’re now in Long ODS like Long Covid. It’s depressing. 😵‍💫 Half the dm groups I’m in now are relentless “omigod look what outgroup did now {lmfao | we’re doomed}” and with zero humor (not counting “humor” that’s about owning the outgroup)

It’s not even crystallized polarization now as in Trump derangement syndrome vs woke derangement syndrome. Unlike TDS or WDS, Long ODS is a general nebulous sense of the world going to hell because of a nebulous outgroup that’s everywhere and the patuent can’t take their mind off

Same funereal atmosphere, same gallows “humor,” same inability to take an interest in anything that’s not salient to the ODS.
