People are hurting and project their pain onto others. It’s polarized in Germany too… few people take the time to listen to rational arguments or discuss calmly. Mostly rushing in to label/discredit. I gave up trying to talk about economic reform during the German elections. I’m trying to tune things out as much as I can these days. Focusing on health, relationships and building local community.

Yep, exactly. Global economic malaise, high youth unemployment in nearly every country, and global inflation has created a ton of pain across the board. Makes people way more willing to seek out an enemy to blame and left/right social media is very willing to give it to them.
