Bubbles are safe until the day you realize a bubble that would like you dead has now grown large enough to vote in a like minded government in your country. Then nothing is safe.
- p-e-w 3y agoJesus Christ the hyperbole. Name a single example of a country where a government that "wants certain people dead" has been voted in recently, other than such countries where this has been happening for decades anyway without social media even existing.
- marcinzm 3y agoThat's the pint isn't it? Social media is relatively recent however I'd say all those countries you tried to discount essentially had real life bubbles of various sorts.
- p-e-w 3y agoSocial media has been around for 15+ years. That's 3-4 election cycles in most countries. And the way I see it, the same kind of people are getting voted in that have been for decades. Yes, that includes Trump, who is just Reagan with a fouler mouth.
- kaffeeringe 3y agoMyanmar. USA. They only didn't succeed with their coup.
- p-e-w 3y agoMyanmar has been in a nearly continuous civil war for decades. It's a failed state and always has been. That has nothing to do with social media. And no US government in recent history, including the one before the current one, had killing people on their agenda. That's just complete and utter horseshit.
- throw_a_grenade 3y agoFun fact, both of those countries don't use SI for everyday measures. There are two kinds of countries, I guess. Those that ~landed on the moon~ voted in fascist leaders and those that use metric system.
