The internet allowed the village idiot to meet other village idiots and reinforce each other's stupid, stupid ideas and beliefs. Now here we are.

I think a crucial step was when someone with money found out that a glob of village idiots can be weaponized for cheap.

Yup, and social media greatly accelerated that.

The village idiots already did that, that's how we got monarchism.

Counterpoint: It also allowed the "weird kid" that got socially ostricized for neurodivergence to have social interations with other "weird kid"s from other communities and seek validation from sypathetic people from all around the world.

It’s always been a great low pressure avenue for opening up to potentially like minded people and starting conversations.

I just wish people would show some more IRL decorum, generally. For example we’re responding to an OP talking about “stupid, stupid” people or whatever. I’d be a little more positive off the bat if we were having this conversation at a party.
