Many of those people will not have developed political reasoning, and will consider themselves "apolitical" due to having never investigated their own political viewpoints...

Or worse, they'll consider themselves "objective" when it comes to politics, claiming they just know when something is true, or good for people.

Once, I nihilistically mentioned to my friend that “I welcome the coming inevitable nuclear holocaust.” His reply was something that I will never forget: “I don’t think you realize what nuclear war entails.”

I haven’t wished for the end of the world since.

Meaning stand up for your belief, and to the victor, the spoils. It's ironic. 🤷‍♂️

They all have the same ideology, forged and molded by the algorithm of social media.

For each 1000 ideologies in people's heads, 100 can be somewhat decently explained, 10 can be understood by others and only 1 works for some time.

I'm honestly yet to meet anyone, online or otherwise, who genuinely advocates for the end of society as part of the movement's program. The vast majority of revolutionary movements don't build from the ashes of society, but rather seek to transform it.

The Matrix was right, humanity cannot tolerate it when things are good. That is how you get the OP image of 1000 different plots against the status quo.

Humanity performs best when collectively rising to defend against an external threat.

It is a strength that gets used against us when we install leaders that create fake threats to motivate us.

But an actual external threat usually makes humanity better.

Canada is improving right now as the entire country comes together in shared resistance to Donald Trump. He is probably making the EU better too actually.

You know, this may actually change the way I think about him.

Hegel is, once more, proven right.
