Politics
What a crazy era we live in.
Could the left and right be any further divided?
Projection routinely takes the place of content. People see what they want to see without any need to verify the truth.
We each have our own bubble. Our own echo chamber. That which confirms our beliefs we welcome with open arms. That which contradicts, is oh so easily discarded. Be it fake news, very fake news, unsourced, unverified, or just plain “I don’t care’.
We used to be fact based, scientific minded people. Now, whatever is popular, whatever is believed to be true, frequently gains more credibility than that which is supported by fact.
Logical fallacies are conducted routinely, and hypocrisy — hypocrisy is so wide spread it is merely annoying to point it out.
Where have all our cares gone? This short sighted focus on immediate gratification — neither side realizes the full long term implications of their actions.
Is there a path out of this madness? Or must each side eagerly await the destruction of the other?
