this is scary. I’m probably going to go to a public menorah lighting today. Not too worried just because I’ve come to accept the risk of mass shooting as part of the everyday aspects of being an American.
but it is unnerving to see how much racism, bigotry, etc. has become commonplace in society
The internet has made it bad and I think AI will make it even worst.
It creates an environment where your only interaction with people different from you is content that reaffirms your preexisting beliefs. Which basically leads to folks being radicalized into extreme viewpoints.

Again, unlikely. Most One Piece hater end up hating on the story because of:
1 - Illegitimate expectations
2 - Parasocial bonds > Which create illegitimate expectations
3 - Negative social contagion > This is what happens on this forum
4 - Poor reading environment
But tell me, what are the main reasons for you ? Let's see if you can find something that I would not be able to debunk politically or narratively.
What is wrong with extreme viewpoints ?

What’s wrong with extreme viewpoints?
It isn’t just the position of those extreme viewpoints themselves, but the process they tend to create.
People who adopt extreme views usually don’t stay static, as these people often tend to keep moving further in that direction over time. As that happens, the worldview becomes narrower and more rigid, until only a very specific way of thinking or behaving is considered acceptable. Once that point is reached, disagreement stops being treated as disagreement and starts being scrutinized as moral failure. That scrutiny often turns into scorn, and eventually into some form of punishment or exclusion.
There’s also a practical issue, stated below.
If the broader population isn’t in a situation where those extreme views actually align with what they need or want, the effect is often the opposite of what’s intended. People don’t just stop following what is currently being preached, but rather, they start rejecting the message and even considering the opposing viewpoint instead. After the situation reaches a certain point, ideas stop feeling like solutions to problems and start feeling actively detrimental to everyday concerns. Instead of building support, extremism ends up pushing people away.
It gets even worse when the definition of what’s “acceptable” keeps shrinking. Views that were considered fine yesterday suddenly aren’t acceptable today, and people who still hold those earlier, more moderate positions get pushed into the wayside, even if they never agreed with it in the first place.
At that point, extremism doesn’t strengthen a movement. It fractures it and creates the backlash it claims to oppose.

What tells you that this reasoning of yours is not the fruit of a bias and in itself, a form of radicalization itself?
Again, why? I'm sure this question can go deeper.. There are reasons why. Can you find them?
First, do you have evidences supporting the fact that this reactance phenomenon is a real thing?
Then, can you then explain to me the reason why the radical left's rethorics are rising in environments that are mostly liberal?
What makes you sure of that?
Do you mean that what is considered not acceptable today, should actually be acceptable?
And when you say "what "acceptable" keeps shrinking", do you mean things like sociology and inclusive politics or the right of marginalized and human rights as a whole?
Or are you talking about the "cancels" of the left?
(Btw: I pretty sure this was not really acceptable yesterday... but I'm just teasing you)
And on what evidences do you base this affirmations?

In the wind, yea, but you ask nonetheless. But you do you. I don't really care. I know that it's not based on the quality of the story.

You don’t get it. I’m not being judgmental but he still looks like an idiot to many many many people no matter what. This video is gonna remain on the internet for ever and make him look like an idiot all his life.
His social and professional life are screwed but at least he made us laugh hard
He should become an influencer asap.
