Don't attribute causation to what just could easily be the null effect. Genocide existed before facebook, and it will exist after facebook.
Saying "truth matters" is just an empty slogan without defining what truth means, and in itself is not a solution to what the real problem is which is the alienation people feel as a result of capitalism.
- Pxtl 5y ago> alienation people feel as a result of capitalism. > Don't attribute causation to what just could easily be the null effect. Alienation existed before capitalism. Also, "empty slogan" is kind of ironic in the same breath blaming capitalism for all our ills.
- ok123456 5y agoNo, blaming capitalism for alienation is not an empty slogan. This critique comes directly from Marx who accurately described the phenomenon. Capitalism is the predominant driving force behind alienation when every aspect of their lives becomes commoditizated. Facebook isn't the driving force behind genocides, in spite of what influence Facebook would like advertisers would like them to believe. (If you have a service that can sell genocide and allow people to 'steal elections', imagine what it can do for sugar water!)
