That is what I said. It is for people who want an echo chamber.

Twitter fills a void where there is no real alternative. How can it be a bad idea? If you are morally opposed to it or something don't use it.

On mental health. On conspiracy theory. On attacks on the integrity of the polity, on social cohesion. Freedom to communicate in the wide, semi-pseudonomously turns out to be something exploitable to undermine the fabric of society at times. I don't think we can put that genie back in the bottle, but "the revolution will not be televised" maybe turns out to be .. wrong?
- rapsey 4y agoYeah sounds like the comic books and video games are going to turn children into psychopaths argument.
- ggm 4y agoIt does, except it's about what led to pizzagate. So.. also not about LSD being sold in sweets to small children, its lies being told to psychotic adults. And about what persisting supportive dements do to each other, once the fever hits. We're very probably poles apart on this one. I won't convince you of the risks and you won't convince me of the lack of them.
- sinity 4y ago> It does, except it's about what led to pizzagate. In the times before The Internets, we had that too. OG Nazis were based on nebulous conspiracy theories about Jews. "Internationalists"*. And they certainly weren't original in that either. * I think "Globalists" we have today are synonymous to that.
