The antidote isn’t more outrage. It’s rebuilding a culture where identity is not weaponised, where difference isn’t a spectacle, and where elected officials are held to standards of evidence, respect, and accountability. Or: real democracy.

This is not an isolated incident. It’s systemic. The political class no longer sees itself as accountable to all constituents, only to the symbolic community they perform for. Everyone else becomes an enemy. Even students.

In disordered discourse: Engagement > accuracy Performance > governance Emotion > evidence Identity = target The logic of the algorithm now structures political speech. It rewards those who dramatise difference and punish deviation from the tribe.

This is what happens when discourse becomes detached from evidence, deliberation, and accountability. Instead of engaging with real issues, politicians compete in a theatre of outrage. The student isn’t a person here, they’re a prop in a narrative war.
