I don’t think we have comprehended the psychological carnage social media and alienation have combined to become a threat to democracy. The algorithms of social media Hate has amplified polarization of debate in ways we are barely comprehending.

I’m not interested in social justice wokedom any more, it is a minefield of competing schisms throwing vitriol at one another. The 2023 NZ election will be a competition between competing cults & wounds.
