People have always been assholes, god knows; but there's a difference between there's a certain baseline of some people are attention sinks and "I post x y and z and the money comes out." we called them "virtual communities" for a (overly idealistic, but still) reason

I've been online since 1996 & actually talking to people online since not much later than that. I don't do Meta, or TikTok, or comment on YT videos. tl:dr I'm an old fart in internet years but y'know what: that's probably served me in many ways.

The first principle of this is a load-bearing English middle class belief that all mental disorders are faked, that anyone sick for longer than a week is malingering, that people who say they are allergic to things are lying for attention, and so on.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

"Rebuild." Pssh. Look around you at the absolute wretched state of the US elite. Look at the sad, corporate-captured, power-worshiping media. Look at the distracted, deluded, increasingly spectacle-addicted US public. Look at the denuded, decrepit set of ideas allowed in our discourse. Look.
