In Czechia and Poland, the same vitriol seems to be catching up. Well, in case of Poland, it might actually already be on the US level. At least we are multiparty countries, so switching allegiance is not as hard as in the US/UK system. But social networks are really good in their role of Shiri's scissor [0]. We shouldn't feel smug; as you say, we may just be slightly behind in the trend whose shockwave travels through the U.S. first. (A darkly funny observation: polarization and obesity seem to develop in a similar fashion. Maybe a diet of unhealthy shit and a diet of horrible info content go hand in hand, hacking the same circuits in our brains.) [0] https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/10/30/sort-by-controversial/ |
