You know those people who play leapfrog with themselves, assuming the arguments their opponents will make and arguing against those assumptions? Those who speak in memes?
I’m starting to put them into one group and writing them off. I might as well be talking to the same brain dead idiot every time because they’re all so eager to fit in with each other to feel relevant.
The internet doesn’t break people’s minds.
What does is lack of proper mental health care. A system that doesn’t care about people. A system of perpetual slavery, hate, and violence. Religions lying to people about everything, all the time.
That’s what hurts people.
Is nyan cat hurting people? No.
Is religious hate spread on the internet hurting people? Yes. Is it the internet’s fault? No.
Is Wiki huritng people? No.
Are billionaires buying up all media platforms on the internet hurting people? Yes. Is that the internet’s fault? No.
Don’t demonize techonology, look into who and how it’s being used - and address that problem. Because that problem doesn’t go away if you take away the internet, it just moves to another platform.
How about we all move to an underwater based medium where memes are exchanged by means of colourful air bubbles that propagate at the speed of sounds
I make bubbles in the bath all the time. They don’t smell very good, and they are flammable so you have to be careful.
explosive memes tho
That… was well said.
