The internet is Balkanizing the technological west, and that concerns me.

10 points to you sir, for learning me

blanket statement that the people rioting live in an internet-fueled filter bubble and never go to pro-trump media and see the world from the other side.

dude you're spot on. In my environment labor is the predominant means of sustenance (the blue collar type).... and as I recently commented in one of my posts - having personally lived and worked with racists, mysoganists, and xenophobes.... The only way I got around it WAS TO OUTWORK THEM.

I didn't employ divisive tactics or fake it to fit in with them... Now, it would have been a lot different if I were African-American - but I made my points by the end of the season.

Money, as far as I can tell, does not care about personal views. That is a principle many have forgotten in today's bubble world.

Many people don't care much about a future in-line with their realm of thought, they just want to see their lives through, and pass on their values to the next generation. Their positions are not ENRICHED by the support of others - unlike the "balkanized" world you speak of. Thank you so much for sharing that.
