> people need to understand that this is just completely ahistorical and incredibly naive

We may be talking past each other. I'm not arguing for a general vibe. Just a productive approach to online discussion about politics. It's very unlikely you're going to change someone's mind about partisan politics on this forum. What's more likely is you're going to get some combination of enraged and developed in your thinking about what's going on. So I'm saying to focus, online, on that latter part. Learning. Discussing. All of it calmly, so you can strategise.

That way, when you manifest that anger in the real world, you can do so strategically. Effectively.

But there's absolutely zero success so far - in fact the opposite? You're only stroking your own ego.

You’ve read through all of the comments on this article and found absolutely nothing your can learn from?

I've been online for 20 years. I've learned enough to know what going on now.

10 years ago I'd be laughed out of the room suggesting what reactionary bullshit is going on today, turn back to today, tech at large has just enthusiastically adjusted to the reactionary shift, so it was predictably just hot air all along. Basically, unless your particular wallet has a boot-mark on it, or a suggestion of an upcoming one, people just don't care enough at this place.
