I know that people have argued and debated what is happening in the world ever since there have been people doing things, BUT the past 5-10 years of polarization to extremes is disturbing as fuck.
(Is this some Gen X influence, left over from when they had to scream bloody murder just to get any attention?)
We don't have to all come together like it's Christmas morning in Whoville, but the "you're either for us or against us" is mental illness and there has to be a way to pour some cold water on this shit.

Okay fine, go fight your wars.
As for me, I will be sitting in my ivory tower shaking my head at people who can see each other only as extreme ideology made flesh.
I saw the potential for this shit back in the 1990s as "The Left" was gaining popularity but I always sort of thought common sense existed and would have more of an effect overall.
After five years of people losing their minds over germs and vaccines and race and everything else, this really shouldn't surprise me at all.
When the blue-haired septum-pierced hoards descend, I hope we have enough courage to clear them out.
