I'm looking at what's happening in canadian cities and large population centers and some of the insanity of internet culture is making itself prevalent there. Which I find stunning particularily because Canada doesn't have it as bad as the US. We're not perfect but we have so much less of the major cultural and political divides that the US does, and for some reason, the less than sane end of the political spectrum is begginning to burn holes in things and gain a foothold.
Not out in the north though. Farther north you go in canada the less people there are, the greater the distance between them, the harder it is to survive. There's aspects of bad things in some people but it's rarely organised into a system or given room to take root. It's just singular people on their own with no sway and more pressing concerns taking their time. I find it interesting to watch and see how much distance plays such a very important role in things.
