As if there were not enough other threats to American civilisation to consider, the national epidemic of furries, or children who identify as animals, in schools has been getting a lot of attention. Popular social-media accounts, including Libs of TikTok, which highlights daft things liberals are supposedly doing, spread the idea that schoolchildren are self-identifying as cats, and teachers are placing litter boxes in school bathrooms so that they may defecate comfortably. This is not actually true. But the speed with which this idea became mainstream illustrates how social media can confirm partisans’ wildest ideas about the other side, as well as how hard such fantasies are to dislodge once they have taken hold.
仿佛美国文明所面临的其他威胁还不够多，全国流行的“毛孩子”，或认同为动物的孩子，在学校里已经获得很多关注。流行的社交媒体账户（包括TikTok的Libs，突出了自由主义者应该做的蠢事）传播了这样的观点：学童自我认同为猫，而教师在学校的浴室里放置猫砂，方便他／她们可以舒适地排便。事实并非如此。但这种想法成为主流的速度表明，社交媒体能够证实党派人士对另一方最疯狂的想法支持，而这种幻想一旦形成就很难消除。
