Its like the popular culture right now is just being seen. Being seen sticking to your faith, sticking to your commitment or truth. Being seen rooting for your side to show that you dont care what anyone else says.
Everyone needs to be seen and seems to think this is how they get rewarded for their faith, heck it works somewhat.
I don’t think it’s because of the internet/algorithm. You can see a lot of similarities in attitude when looking at the rise of fascism in Europe before the second world war. “Me ne frego” or “I don’t care” was a popular slogan for Italian fascists. They also saw themselves as fighters for freedom and national security.
I think its just financial stress getting more common place. And appeasing those with money seems like the only way to get some yourself since you dont earn much more for being a better worker.
You have to be seen to get charity. The algorithm just doesnt help by making it so its less communal help and more rage since it is more engaging.

Could it be because attention-based algorithms/structures reward it?
