I feel an intense hatred for him and his "colleagues."

And I want to do something about his atrocious actions. But I'm afraid that the things I would do are as wrong as theirs.

I see it all the time on Reddit, on social media, and sometimes occasionally on this site when I was scrolling amongst it's various pages.

Some on the left claim "There's a reason for a 2nd amendment" or "Time to kill the rich" and more varying levels of obscene and violent rhetoric.

But there's a problem there, both sides are becoming more extreme, hateful, and violent; and from my perspective- perhaps others won't share mine- I see the world becoming more colder, becoming more cruel and hateful.

The world is losing its empathy, and as you wrote...

The world is becoming more stupid quite plainly.

And I want to do something about it, I try to research, to analyze, and I try to use what's left of my critical thinking skills that haven't already been eroded by social media and A.I.- But I just can't. I genuinely don't know what to do.

So here is my question, for others on this site:

What can we do about these outrageous individuals, pushing the U.S. and the world back generations and years of scientific advancements, how do we stop them?

And how do we stop the growing coldness that is growing slowly through the world?
