Blame the algorithms, but yes otherwise you are correct. Being an intransigent shithead is a pathway to success in this world. The bully is rewarded endlessly while the victim is stigmatized.
All of history's greatest figures in our mind are people with the biggest body counts. Napoleon killed a whole generation of young men in Europe and was basically his era's Hitler. Today he has Fanboys who rush to defend him online.
That's why Putin invades Ukraine and dgaf about bodies because he's playing to an audience 300 years in the future who also dgaf about the victims anymore than we care about Napoleonic war casualties.
We are a species of savage assholes and we survive today as the beneficiary's of that legacy.
Loud minorities are loud.
It’s called “Americanisation”.
Yes, it's interesting when you realize this. Kind of turns a switch in your brain and you suddenly think about things very differently.
