Tbh I don’t consider the internet outside the bubble. Online they’re faceless, anonymous and able to edit how they articulate themselves with infinite time on their hands, but in real life, in your own community and family and workplace, I truly believe we can fight the extremism with intelligent and respectful debate. TRAs offline in my city are mostly young, obviously desperate for attention teens and 20 somethings that can’t communicate effectively and functional people give them a wide berth. They’re just like the losers of the previous generation who have now moved back home or never left, who are socially stunted perpetual victims ignored by society outside the infinite echo chambers of social media. Think the next generation of 30 year old baristas with neon colored hair except add a name tag with their personal pronouns.
