So important! Liars are thriving online. Grifters and cult leaders in every corner. Some grifters even own the social media apps we use 😅 Suckerberg and Musky drank the kool aid
dreamydoodledoo Was gonna do a follow-up rec sort of akin to this same point, but a little more broad. Cause I’ve seen the impact of what that shit can do.
I’ve seen people get radicalized by the right wing twtter/rumble shit to the point where they’re texting gcs about the nuclear power surge that’s gonna happen on Super Bowl Sunday. Basically caused a lot of internal division with friends and family and many people felt isolated. I’ve been there and that shit’s never fun.
But on the same token, and it hits a nerve because I know a lot of people get quiet when I bring it up, I’ve seen people grow deep into Marxist theology (which is understandable), but then get caught up so deep down the rabbit hole that they cut off friends/family that really loved and cared about them on bullshit technicalities and then ended up alone with nothing but a creed, it’s always a bummer.
I’ve been guilty of this myself. For almost a year, I held a long deep-seated resentment/grudge against white people due to a horrid personal event in my life. I became extremely bitter and confrontational (most of the time without any merit). It became so unhealthy that my dad actually had to step in and cool me down, deradicalize me from all that shit, had to be reassured that there are good people from all walks of life who will treat you with kindness and dignity, and that the people I hated don’t make up the entire picture. They’re just a little smudge on this big gigantic canvas.
Life’s too short to go around just being mad at everything all the time, and I believe that all the terminally online stuff genuinely instills some sort of mental illness.
It’s like Prince said, ”the battlefield is the mind, and the prize is the soul. So, be careful. Be very careful.”
Greenelysium amen to all of that! My friends mom got totally radicalized by qanon and I actually found myself in one of the many online spiritual cults. 😵💫
dreamydoodledoo Qanon’s so funny to me cause they’re always like, “YO ITS GOIN DOWN ITS HAPPENING FOR REAL THIS TIME IM NOT PLAYIN” and then nothing ever happens.
It’s the same shit as the doomsday clock people, just different end of the wave.
I guess that’s the horseshoe theory they’re always talkin abou.
hiimhunt Wikipedia, but especially Internet Archive’s great to scroll through and discover so many new things.
I can’t lie, I’m an Instagram reels addict though, some of those fights fun as hell to watch. I belong in 2005, I’m just stuck here unfortunately.
