the OG is 4chan

You can find a way to use that to your advantage. I do "robotic" stuff when I am foggy. All that stuff that I would otherwise find super boring. Doing the dishes, cleaning up, doing repetitive tasks that has a low attention requirement is perfect.

Probably similar to the NYT subscriptions surge during the Trump administration. People just buying to signal and "support the cause". Partisan views have it a lot easier to raise money from their followers than those trying to find a middleground.

I am only talking about the US situation here and treating the situation as if the Guardian were a US publication. That whole 'foreign media trying to meddle with US politics' narrative has reached an ironical meme status that is not worth arguing over any more.

58.9% of Americans voted last election. Has the Guardian already lost that much touch with reality to accept that those 41.1% of the population exist who don't care about their outrage theater?

What they are doing is advancing the politicizing of everything and driving an agenda of divisiveness.

Why is an artist is not allowed to be an artist anymore but needs to be an political activist?

Even worse, because TS doesn't follow the Guardian's absurd logic, they are trying to shame her with their imaginative interpretation.

That's not journalism, that is a 6-year old's fantasy world, who dreams up stories about celebrities and why they are their imaginary friends/enemies.

A 'moral crisis' for the Guardian's editorial board is not a moral crisis for a 20-something popstar.

> They are arguing that not having a public position on issues means you are siding with the status quo

No, they are assuming that everyone must have an opinion. It seems outside of their reality to accept that people don't care about the things they care about.

Just because I don't voice my opinion on which days I prefer the garbage collection truck to arrive doesn't mean I am a big fan of them arriving on Monday. I just have other things in life going on.

Wow, I haven't seen that before! Just stunning how distorted the Guardian's editorial board has become.

Their hatefulness must have become so deep seeded that they are unable to tolerate anyone out there who does not wanted to get instrumentalized by their 'either you are with us or you are our enemy' crusade.

It still amazes me how Germany was able to pull this off. Considering their current state of self-awareness I was expecting much more likely for them to sell it all off and invest it into social causes.

Just curious: Can you clarify which culture/region you are talking about?
