RE: Why is There Always Something "Wrong?"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
With age comes the "organ recital," and I do not mean a musical presentation. Politics has become ever more polarized, but this is one table as political power expands, and people have different beliefs about how it should be imposed upon their foes wielded for the public good. Social media also encourages a kind of divisiveness I don't remember from years past. Maybe it just went over rmy head when I was younger, but people casually declare so-and-so is a literal communist or literal Nazi and call for their destruction so easily. Nuance is absent.

That. Right there. I remember arriving in Texas from Denmark for college in 1981, and one of the very first comments I heard was "So, are you some kind of COMMUNIST?"
The ignorance... it BURNS.
So yeah, it has been around since... well, a long time. But the middle does seem to have been erased during the last few decades, a bit the the (illusion?) that there's actually a middle class between the "haves" and the "have nots."
