The block button becomes ever more tempting as time passes.
Like every High Street, the same continuum of shops, probably installed by the same team of people, the timeline is a relentless sharing of violence, rage, destruction and vast hopelessness.
And it’s not just what people are posting, it’s how people are commenting. They believe reacting against the people they hate is, in any way, going to make things great.
Passive!
Reactive!
Childish in the extreme.
It’s too common a pattern for it to be ignored, you love the rage porn. You do. You think it makes a difference! It’s just a larger consortium of angry people.
THEN WHAT DO WE DO, MARTIN?!?!?!
Excellent question.
Well one thing is to stop giving airtime to the stuff you hate. That makes you no better than people sharing the stuff originally. Have you not yet figured out that the “we’ve got receipts” doesn’t stop people?
It’s all woke, whether left or right wing.
You start sharing things that people can actually, proactively, do but the point is you like raising your voice but not thinking strategically for yourself.
You don’t know, do you?!
And that’s what scares you.
