I'm beginning to hate the word "agenda". It's just become shorthand for "thing that I can't describe but dislike intensely." "Agenda" is no longer an itinerary, a list of things to be done. "Agenda" is now a global conspiracy done by the faction and/or ideology of its preceding word.
Within our increasingly open world thanks to the Internet, more lines are being drawn. Humanity as a whole is tribalist in nature, and "us v. them" is becoming the most popular narrative nowadays. We don't open our minds anymore, we close them up. We are convinced in our righteousness, and we surround ourselves with people who agree.
It's a terrible system, and sadly, I feel that it's here to stay for a while.
