Fresh approaches needed to tackle political ‘age of rage’, US study suggests https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/sep/22/fresh-approaches-needed-to-tackle-political-age-of-rage-us-study-suggests?CMP=share_btn_url
What a dream:
“There is no magical fix for our political divides,” said Prof Sean Westwood, the co-author of the research from Dartmouth College in the US. “To rebuild our democracy, we must commit to the long-term process of supporting policy focused candidates, resisting the hatred that flourishes on social media, and restoring the integrity of our federal government,” he added. “This sounds challenging, and it is, but we have done it before.”
The researchers say the work suggests a lasting reduction in partisan animosity will probably require a shift to approaches aimed at changing the incentives that lead to political and media “elites” fanning the flames of partisan conflict.
“Individual approaches are still valuable and can lower tensions, especially in times of crisis, but they are not going to solve the problem,” said Woodward.
I will debut longer form personal, experiential, and spiritual essays next year. I want to continue to do meaningful work. Help me conquer those who steal life, labor and liberty. Thank you.
When I realized comedy can be described as the things I say and do as well as the things I don’t say and do, I knew it was for me. I was seeing and hearing all kinds of shit that couldn’t be happening in the dreams and the nightmare we call society. I believe they call that crazy. You don’t need any proof. Someone just has to appear to have more potential at succeeding than you and you can make shit up about them. Better than that, you can plot to make them what you say they are. There’s always a ridicule am yet to encounter and the punches just keep coming. It is no miracle I survived. I am now more than qualified to tell comedically twisted true tales as a part of the jazz music festival, half time music. half time comedy. it is hilarious. In fact it is now a comedic-jazz music festival. Your receipts for music by ril and the free books for life cause mean the world to me. Help achieve justice.
