It’s not entirely our fault. Big tech and social media have found ways to hack our psychology with aggressive algorithms. It’s basically a huge social conditioning psyop at this point. Both sides are brainwashing their extremes in different ways. I really think regulating big tech and media would go a long way. Telling lies and deliberately misleading masses of people should have consequences, as should designing weapons that destroy human psychology by keeping people outraged to keep them glued to scrolling their apps longer, to generate more ad revenue. Too many humans aren’t taught critical thinking and aren’t self aware enough to see how they’re being manipulated and/or why. Regulating big tech and trashing citizens United would do far more to help us than storming the Capitol.
