particularly after october '23 even Americans must know the deal deep down, there’s a lot of choosing to ignore the realities
I’m afraid the political problem you describe is much deeper and more entrenched.
The class of aggregated economic interests that brought the western world the “centrist ditherers”, as you describe them, are increasingly backing right wing politicians to divide and confuse discontent majorities, now that the social contract is in obvious and advancing decay around us, due to decades of aggressive privatisation of public goods like utilities, education, healthcare as well as related but also wider economic slowdown.
Ironically it was precisely this kind of “centrist ditherer” that spent the last half century destroying these public goods and therefore inflaming the social discontent, which capital must now fuel right wingers to quell.
agreed, despicable brexit-ball with that talent

As I’ve said before, I like reading your posts and I wish you fortitude while you go through these frustrating experiences!
I recommend paying attention, because there is lots to learn from the kinds of reactions you get when questioning the dogma of the day. Perhaps if you see the reactions themselves as politics or even history in motion, you can establish some fruitful analytical distance and also feel less directly affected. I like to turn some of the institutional criticism I learned at uni on the university itself, makes me feel better about some of the intellectual crap floating past me. Call it analytical dissociation or something.
