I'm probably more of a whisky & mescaline socialist myself, but this tweet seems to be a pretty vapid and vague summary of the year from a journalist. Maybe it's a problem with Twitter as a medium in general? People over analyze these snippets and ultimately derive whatever they want to. Suddenly things like kidnapping, brutal rape and children dying of malaria start coming up and that's intense. The weirdest thing is seeing Twitter appear in more and more journalism. BBC constantly references tweets in it's articles[0], I'm not sure why. A good tweet says nothing, suggests everything, gets people emotional and puts isolated individuals into a mob mentality. It's like a retirement home for pregnant mares. I also had something about propaganda versus journalism, but I'm kinda tripping out here and losing my threads. John could probably say this better than me. Brb. [0]: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59750154 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59750154
