Some?

I'd argue it's most. Granted, people's level of delusion varies, but esp among the younger kids who are tik-tok addicts, there is a marked decline in their ability to realize there is a world outside of their experience and what they are being told on tik-tok.

What baffles me is the intolerance of disagreement. When I was in college the main thing I learned was the limits of what I know, how much I don't know, and to tolerate others POV and to investigate the facts and see beyond biased narratives and recognize those biases...

Today it seems all people learn is 'i am right, because i feel i am right, and nobody can tell me otherwise'. and people are more and more extreme in their views and more willing to dehumanize others for the smallest of disagreements. IRL and on the internet.

My views are liberal, but I'm open to conservative ideas. This was not controversial in the 2000s, and most of the early 2010s, but post Trump/tiktok, even my own former friends on the left have whole-heartedly adopted the 'I am a victim and my feelings are all that matters' mentality, and just live in these social media hug boxes where every little think they do is a HUGE achievement, and any mistake they make is never their fault. Meanwhile, they bitch and bitch about how unfair and unhappy their lives are if only rich white guys would just give them their money it would all be better. They have zero interest in building anything inclusive or meaningful in their communities, unless you define community as 'only people who look, speak, and think exactly like I do'. Everything is a catchphrase, and no subtling is allowed. 'ACAB'... well I have family who are cops.... sorry if I'm not on board with the mentality that ACAB, but I 100% recognize the need for police reform... but that viewpoint is 'toxic' now. You can't recognize cops as people.

It's truly dark. I've also seen it firsthand with people i've know for several years now, watching them slowly become angry nutbags whose joy in life is enforcing social confomrity into whatever fiefdom they are a part of. And I am just sort of peacing out now, because I no longer want to be involved in communities and groups full of narcissistic twits and angry miserable people whose only joy in life is shitting on others who are different than them.
