Facebook is radicalising your parents

&gt; Reed Cooper, a smug blond boy in a Sunday school tie and blazer combo who festoons all his social media with American flags, is already a visual argument for the return of corporal punishment.<p>Inflammatory media pieces are probably part of the problem if we&#x27;re talking polarization, as enjoyable as it might be to relish in the concept of a &quot;punchable face&quot;.

Merriam-Webster. <i>Radicalise</i>? &quot;d : advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affairs&quot; and their example is &quot;the radical right&quot;<p>Anyone who&#x27;s followed the news over the summer and read the novel 1984 understands this perfectly.

This piece makes the short-sighted and common mistake of only finding fault with the &quot;extreme&quot; right. I happen to know quite a few of these folks that obsessively forward ugly politics, it is a real problem. But I know quite a few incredibly smug folks from &quot;extreme&quot; left that do practically the same thing.<p>An example: Many are the kind of folks that complained bitterly that people were going to California beaches early in the Covid crisis, &quot;because science&quot; (that they apparently didn&#x27;t understand). They were clearly superior to those other folks and forwarded articles with carefully chosen photographs (taken at a 15-degree angle) which made the beach seem much more crowded than it really was. A little applied spatial reasoning could see that the groups were several yards&#x2F;meters apart or more.<p>The first days the subject came up in the news I said, &quot;no one is getting this sitting alone in the ocean-breeze and sunshine&quot; and was attacked for it. Guess what, a few months later that rule was rescinded, because it didn&#x27;t make sense. Any apologies over the hysteria and name-calling? Of course not.<p>Another example would be the housing crisis. In every facebook thread regarding a new apartment building lefty nimbys come out of the woodwork to make comments that even an a high-school economics class graduate can see are backwards, regarding cause and effect. I have other examples, but that&#x27;s enough for now.<p>TL;DR: Lefties don&#x27;t have a lock on reality, and your piece would be better recognizing that.

Just after GHW Bush&#x27;s passing 2 years ago, I was speaking with a Boomer friend. The conversation quickly spiraled and she was telling me about how GHWB was a pedophile who abused children, then extracted their adrenochrome, and then <i>ate</i> them. He wasn&#x27;t alone. He did this with his kids (Jeb, GWB,the Clintons, the Reagans, and the Obamas. I was completely caught off guard. This was someone who I had otherwise respected and thought well of - a retiree of the aerospace&#x2F;defense industry. She then said <i>&quot;I used to never know any of this stuff, but now that I have the internet on my smartphone, my eyes are open.&quot;</i> -- That last part has really stuck with me...

I guess Chemtrails lost their appeal.<p>On a slightly more serious note, this has Only in America written all over it.
