It’s really mind-boggling.
Also, ironically a bit ethnocentric to suggest that the challenges in the US or Europe are in any way on par with life in countries like Brazil, India, Africa!

I would listen to this person’s extremely specific rant.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 3 days ago:
People like to characterize those they already want to disagree with by the worst, most extreme examples of the group. So before even considering the benefits/drawbacks of veganism, people have already chosen their position after thinking “vegans are just so preachy and annoying”.
It’s putting outrage before reason, and it’s really common in social media and news:
-
Think about how Fox News viewers picture liberals as the least coherent, unreasonable individuals that they see get interviewed, when in reality most are just normal people.
-
Or the reverse: how people in liberal circles might see conservatives depicted as Maga-hat wearing weirdos who think 5G is killing them.
-
Same with how many religious people evaluate atheism or atheists think of religion by their worst representatives.
In short, I think the answer is that it’s a symptom of tribalism and identity-politics.

I feel like in a perfect world, this should allow both sides of the spectrum to find some common ground… Sure, the reasons might be different, but both want it to be easier for people to raise families on single-income.

This is also around the time smartphones came out. Wait, were the boomers right?

“late 1900s” is something I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to hearing.

Oh yeah, I think I know the guy you’re talking about. If it’s who I’m picturing, it’s the one that used to show up for bit parts on Conan’s Late Night back in the day too.
