@Paulatics@mstdn.ca @thetyee@mstdn.ca its the classic paring of outrage and ignorance for political gain, one pushes the other, allowing the other to become wider and more effective, that allows the other to become wider and more effective. But when an outsider, not taken by the ignorance and outrage calls it out, they are taken as an outsider, one of "them" and readily dismissed. It takes a very careful curation and management of the ignorance and outrage to keep pushing the extremes, but not too far at once, an awareness of what outrage and ignorance can be pushed, who can push it, and who will accept and join and accept, and who should be abandoned and dismissed. rinse and repeat ...
