Having discovered that they are massively, disastrously out of touch – thanks to the Trump landslide – their solution has been to self-isolate, and to make themselves even more out of touch.
And they’ve forgotten, or are unwilling to confront, the simple fact that pointing and laughing at ‘characters’ on the opposing side – whether that be Steve Bray or Owen Jones, Jolyon Maugham or Darren Grimes – is fun. It is good for morale.
What would the #BeKind crowd do if they ever achieved their aim of a pure, high space above the fray? You can’t feel superior if there’s nobody to feel superior to. They need their out-group, for how else would they know that they are the in-group? All they can do then is turn on each other like starved piranhas.
They are the most rancorous, disputatious people on the planet. Now they are rats in a sack. Bluesky will only drive them insane. More insane.
