When I was young and without social media, with NATO bombing a neighboring country, I heard a couple of times from some concerned adults about the entire situation. Now, I'd be flooded with images of the destruction, probably blamed for it somehow, told I'm not doing enough to stop it. They feel like vastly different worlds.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoAgreed. But the problem isn't social media. The root problem is war, as well as a media that knows "hyperbole sells".
