Politics 1.0 is violence. It’s how our animal brains react when we feel threatened. It is the fear that other tribes are going to tear away our possessions and freedom. War. Brutality. Aggression. Blood. Guts. Glory. Cue the rallying cry.
Politics 2.0 is the false dichotomy that one tribe is right, while the other is wrong. Or is that right and left? It is the notion that the opposing side is the enemy, and that we must block them at all costs — barring physical violence, of course, because we are a civilized people. We would never actually hit anyone — physically.
