An organization founded by this man.

A profiteer of polarization.

“TikTok Is Taking Us Back to the Dark Ages”

Fascinating conversation between Mary Harrington & James Marriott

Central argument: Short-form video consumption drives more emotional politics & #polarization, weakening #democracy.

Glad there’s a #transcript, too.

When the NY Times runs a piece lamenting that "Americans can't talk to each other anymore," it doesn't ask who's being asked to give up what?

I wrote about the problem of #polarization #bothsides

A fascinating take on what is driving #polarization in the US: from #Gen-X (that's me), to progress for #women and minorities, and the reactionary backlash

However, our wicked problem has more roots than just identity movements...

Comic from leftycartoons.com

#polarization #GOP #MAGA #Comic #PoliticalCartoon

This cartoon has four panels. The same bespectacled, bearded man appears in all four. PANEL 1 The man walks past several masked ICE agents. Two agents are dragging an older man toward the open back of an SUV. Nearby, a distressed woman stands with a small child who is crying. An ICE agent is pointing a gun at the child. MAN (thought): Hmmm. PANEL 2 Outside the Supreme Court, several Supreme Court justices in black robes are drinking and celebrating around a bonfire in which the Voting Rights Act is burning. The man walks past in the background, watching them. MAN (thought): Hmm. PANEL 3 At a bus stop, a woman is reading a newspaper. The man stands beside her, leaning slightly to read the front page. The newspaper’s main headline says: ANOTHER COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED UNNECESSARY WAR MAN (thought): Mm-hmm. PANEL 4 We see an open laptop. On its screen, the man is appearing on a TV interview show, grinning as he holds up a copy of his book, Polarization: Both Sides Did It! MAN: America’s biggest problem is… POLARIZATION! CHICKEN FAT WATCH In panel 2, the burning Voting Rights Act is depicted as the “I’m Just a Bill” character from Schoolhouse Rock! In panel 3, the newspaper is called The Daily Gab. Under the enormous war headline is a much smaller headline: “Study: No one reads smaller headlines or studies.” A sub-headline says “‘My life is pointless,’ says sub-headline writer.” On the wall in panel 3, graffiti includes tags from all eight captains from Star Trek shows (Pike, Kirk, Janeway, Burnham, Freeman, Picard, Sisko, and Archer) plus Taggart from Galaxy Quest. Other graffiti includes “Skitter Lives!” with a spider; a huge “BG,” for “background”; and “Never obey! I order U not to obey!” It only occurs to me now, writing this transcript, that I should have made it “not 2 obey.” Oh well. In panel 4, behind the laptop, a large orange cat is sleeping. Curled up asleep on the cat’s tail is a tiny mouse wearing a sleeping cap.

Social media connects billions of people, yet algorithms can place those people into increasingly isolated information bubbles. The result can be more connection technologically and less shared reality socially.

America’s economy is outpacing Europe’s. Its politics are another story. Wooldridge on polarization, gerrymandering and gerontocracy. Full conversation with Larry Mantle here: buff.ly/3Zqwz1a

When a feed learns that anger keeps people present, division stops being a side effect. It becomes inventory. Who benefits when attention needs an enemy? #Algorithms #Polarization

Social media are terrific at amplifying #polarization to prevent middle class from uniting against the Big Tech #monopoly.
As long as public attention remains trapped in culture wars on social media, economic elites will continue to govern unhindered.
