The site formally known as Twitter is destroying the fabric of society, really? Do you hear yourself?


Elon’s one of our most successful and accomplished entrepreneurs and that hellsite broke his brain to the point where he’s posting on there hundreds of times per day and spending hours interacting and vouching for some of the most depraved degenerates online rather than running his world-changing companies. That’s really a bad outcome.


I think social media as a whole is destroying the fabric of society, yes.


Okay, that's a far more reasonable thing to claim. The way you phrased it made me think you thought it was Twitter specifically. It's definitely a group effort on that front.


This is probably a bad faith sarcastic comment, but for others

Pretending social media holds no influence on society was an argument you could have made when it was just kids getting into fights or shooting each other over Internet beef fifteen years ago.

Now it's an essential target in governments all over the world when it comes to spreading propaganda/disinformation. It has a direct link to effecting change in voters and entire governments innumerable times now.


I would question sanity of anyone who questions this… :)
