US society is fraying at the seams. We need to think about our ‘civic infrastructure’

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has recently proposed a National Trust for Civic Infrastructure, akin to the National Endowment for Democracy. Local associations promoting dialogue could receive grants from it, alongside public libraries and other spaces with civic uses. The proposal can be extended to online public spaces. As everyone knows, the dominant social media platforms today – especially Facebook – are based on the business models of “incitement capitalism”: the imperative to segregate and rile people up, and keep them under constant surveillance, all in order to monetize their “engagement”.

sounds like more leftist clap trap bullshit
 
"That leaves one elephant in the room – political parties, and the one with the elephant in particular. They are a crucial infrastructure, which is why well-functioning democracies regulate them tightly (sometimes even in the constitution). In particular, they prescribe democratic procedures inside parties as well as transparency in financing. With the current supreme court being what it is – an active promoter of dark money and dependency on large donors – there is little chance of addressing campaign finance.

But pluralism inside parties might be strengthened. After all, when a party is turned into a personality cult, as happened with the Republicans under Trump, there cannot be any critical loyalty inside the tent: any criticism of the person is deemed betrayal."

You're the one who couldn't keep your big, fat, lying mouth shut about COVID for the last 17 months, which resulted in over 550,000 people dying from it.

The poison here is you.

Your existence is so miserable that the only thing you can do to make yourself feel better is make everyone else's existence miserable too.

That's why you kept lying about COVID the last 17 months, you want people to die from it.
