"Nie mój cyrk. Nie moje małpy" I'm doing my best to take that attitude. The overall level of stridence, non-sequiturs, & 'unhingedness' just keeps rising. I've had to reduce the number of YT channels I watch to keep up with events in Ukraine. Some of the formerly laid back creators are now much more worked up as are their followers who comment. I swear the idiocy is getting worse. We're finishing up the third year of unprovoked Russian aggression it seems like most people still think we're sending money to Ukraine. I won't go into lecture mode but if aid to Ukraine stops tomorrow, thousands of people will lose their factory jobs here in the US. If I make a comment, more and more often now I get a scathing response that is only vaguely related to what I'd written. I find myself bothering less and less as time goes by.

Sometimes I wonder if Semmelweis Reflex, Fundamental Attribution Error, Belief Perseverance, & Dunning-Kruger have each become viral diseases that are spreading way faster than Covid did....
