That’s just wild. The one silver lining to T2 is that I’m not shocked by anything anymore. It’s still outrageous, but the surprise is gone.

    It’s pretty standard to play both extremes simultaneously, and people just pick whichever they want to relate to at any given moment.

    eg.

    • (such-and-such group) are lazy, but also they are taking all the jobs.
    • They are stupid, but also have secret organisations that control the world, with mind-control, and lasers that control the weather, etc.
    • They are snowflakes obsessed with inclusiveness, but also they want (target-minority-group) to take over.
    • They are against free speech; and we must silence them.

    I’m sure others can think of more, and variations on those.
