That's certainly one half of the problem.. Both political extremes feed off of each other. It's all mindless belief batches that most normal people thankfully do not recognise or live by beyond activists and whatever corporations benefit from in the moment. Far left and right types feed off group demonisation and caracatures instead of complexity.

Interestingly, the post you replied to is a good example. It's a borrowed quote, newly racialised, originally made by an Alabama mayor. The very next thing the major went on to say is that the only way to fix society is to kill those in these groups. (“The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out. I know it’s bad to say but without killing them out there’s no way to fix it.”). [Link] So it's ironic that it's used to critique others, when its origin is extreme and advocating eradication of groups of people largely based on their opinions. Separately, I would think quotes like this are sometimes elevated amongst the far right because of its history, not in spite of it. There are equivalents left and right but thankfully often not in positions of authority and responsibility.

The mainstream has many faults, but it's abundantly clear that alternative wells people may drink from often contain just as much if not more poison. Whether they know they're drinking it or offering it on to others, who knows. They're very often likely just useful unknowing conduits designed to pump stuff out until it reaches the more action orientated. Dumb Terminals if you will. Despite denials, it's firmly centred in hatred of others though and that's what fuels it. You won't find most hurling out unnerving murder origin quotes or videos with line treading far left or right types littering the playlist they're from. It's very easy to give in to extremes, but all it does is damages family and strangers alike. Most people are thankfully far removed from this stuff, and take as they find, rather than routinely value politics over people checkbox style.

I deny everything. I was taking my daughter to a party at Pizza Express in Kuching.

I use woke as a derogatory term to describe the politically correct do gooder types who support all the mamby pamby crap that they have created. The same crowd who are about to get torched by the vicious down turn on the economy. When their lives slide they will expect the government to bail them out as opposed to robbing a bank. Need to grow a backbone. That type.
