    I think the biggest thing is just that I have seen amongst most of the zoomers a kind of instantaneous reaction when presented with a glut of information. They either reject it out of hand with some thought terminating cliche almost instantly, or they will voraciously try to find more, it’s kind of a split between two extremes, and there’s rarely a kind of casual lust that I think has maybe been the case more in the past. I think it’s partially the internet, I think it’s partially the fact that society is slowly rotting and all of the formalities are also rotting away, but yeah.

    So I think that this casual do-gooder vote blue no matter who kind of mentality is not really appealing to most people I interface with. They’re going to have more questions than that like 50% of the time, and then 50% of the rest of the time when they’re on like, tiktok, or twitter, or some other echo chamber where they understand that it is all pure optics and neoreligious brainrot and there is no genuineness to be had, they just will out of hand be like “just put the fries in the bag, bro”, kind of a deal. But yeah, I don’t think the casual political engagement plays well.
