Study of “moral grandstanding” helps explain why social media is so toxic
Watching people argue about politics, or even watching people get into politics, reminds me of people arguing about their favourite sports teams. It always comes down to the other team is bad and immoral or whatever, our team is the best, go chosen sports team, you can do no wrong.<p>Honestly, the way people have been dehumanizing each other over politics kind of scares me. It reminds me of the way propaganda dehumanizes 'the enemy' in war time. It's not a good way to look at other people, especially not over which political party they voted for.
