The nature of the extremism is volatile; tribes, figures, policies will wax & wane. The insanity is here to stay, because there are fewer & fewer shared truth verification protocols — as the overlap between our worlds recedes, we're losing the ability to have conversations at all

This genuinely isn't about a common enemy or a common object-level goal, which is why everyone else seems to care more about the "infighting" than the IDW itself does. It's about the fact that shared reality is spinning out & since the elites can't reel it in, they're chasing it

If you don't grok why the IDW "picks on" the left so much for a set of mostly self-described leftists, you're not tracking it. It's subtle from this side. It's worth meditating on how strange it is that a piece of voter swag has become an accepted media symbol for "bad person"pic.twitter.com/bQbU6KeHBt

It’s just an illusion that this happens on one side only. If you venture into conservative circles you get the same stuff directed at feminists with short and colorful hair, gay people, hippies or really any kind of group.

I don't know, just the first thing that came to mind. There's thousands of these SJW cringe compilations where people try to make all feminists or leftists in general look like a bunch of loonies and they've largely succeeded.pic.twitter.com/2QPMbE4o6n

Yes and no. But I have plenty of examples, look at the reaction to Beto speaking Spanish at the debates from people like Bret Stephens https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/28/opinion/democrats-debate-2020.html …

You're still playing the object-level game, which I will happily cede to you.
