    Not sure what you mean, but communication itself and its effect on human culture does not change, no matter the media. You can draw a painting to de-humanise and incite hatred towards a group, or you can go on radio and incite hatred towards a group. Either way, both methods can be used to incite hatred.

    also includes many lessons we’ve learnt since 1930s.

    Sorry I forgot to address this.

    Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t see how we learnt since. As we speak, a used to be unknown far-right party gained massive electoral votes in Romania. It turns out that they have been making their presence in social media, where older establishment politicians have no familiarity with. The bigger lesson that democratic and liberal forces should do is knowing to use new forms of media instead. Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama knew this very well.

      It is baffling to me that Waltz wasn’t on literally every brolosopher podcast the moment he was tapped. He should’ve been on Rogan lecturing people about what it means to be a man. Talking about how his empathy and responsibility shine through in how he governs, with programs like free school lunches. He should have gone on Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson’s show and called them weird to their faces.
