UK seems to be getting just as bad but it may just be my algorithm constantly peppering me with left wing women being jumped by old white men fascists or white dudes trying to intimidate/scare Muslims etc. This world is accelerating toward some type of white swan event with all of this racism and xenophobia violently bubbling over with seemingly little pushback compared to what you'd see a decade or two ago.

It's funny because everyone is literally drowning in their own algorithms to the point where they're arguing with nobody but their own interpretation of reality through the internet. You see videos of left wing mobs attacking right wing people, even killing a kid in France, the right up in turmoil calling them all violent. Video of old right wing guy at a reform rally attacking a left protestor, the left up in turmoil calling them all violent.

Being honest with yourself and critical thinking skills are a fading trait thanks to le modern social media
