I've watched all of the media that I use to love turn to shit in the last decade. Myspace was great, for a time. Facebook was too. Digg. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Colbert. Chapelle. JRE. YouTube. Reddit. They all got mainstreamed (or ceased to exist altogether) and they all lost their edge.(self)

Excellent question. I don't have a clean and simple answer for you.

What qualifies as "absurd" and how is it quantified? What defines the left, in what regions of the world, and in what time frame? The left in the 1920s was very different than in 2020s. The left of China was far worse than in America - so far.

Further, the left and right are both wings of the War-Hawk Business Party. Puppets all.

In recent memory I'd say the Right of the 1980's was just as crazy, but in different ways on different matters.

We need minarchism and balance more than tribes, but TPTB don't want it.

Thank you for your opinion, although I don't know what TPTB. There's some obvious truth in that but there's also much in there I disagree with, but I'll stop bothering you.

TPTB = The Powers That Be

I'm not bothered. Feel free to disagree or ask why I believe these few little simplistic paragraphs. Nothing is simple, even most simple things - and accurate answers.
