The Algorithm Wants You to Hate Your Neighbor

 

The Algorithm Wants You to Hate Your Neighbor

By BR Wilson Guitars & Cigars, The Bipartisan Patriot.


They hand people slogans now

like switchblades wrapped in therapy language.


Every election turns Thanksgiving dinner

into a hostage negotiation conducted through Facebook memes

and nervous bourbon pours.


Nobody talks anymore.

They diagnose.

Excommunicate.

Curate little digital churches built from algorithmic outrage

where every stranger becomes Hitler by lunchtime.


A plumber in Ohio.

A nurse in Tampa.

A retired lineman eating cold meatloaf at midnight.

All reduced to cartoon villains

because they checked the wrong damn box on a ballot two Novembers ago.


Meanwhile the billionaires sip twelve-hundred-dollar scotch together

behind curtain walls in Manhattan

while the rest of America screams itself hoarse

inside glowing rectangles made in China.


That’s the real magic trick.


Convince exhausted people working fifty hours a week

that their actual enemy

is the guy next door grilling burgers in a different colored hat.


And somewhere beneath all the noise,

the country keeps splitting apart quietly

like old porch wood swelling after too many winters.
