Legitimately know a person who told me all problems in the world and the reason my life isn't better is because the poor ruin everything and steal your stuff. Hard to find a way to even talk after that stupidity slap.
Not surprisingly they are addicted to fb, x, and YouTube manosphere channels. Imagine if we had no internet, we'd have a lot less of these folks.
In Germany Social Media is used as one of the best ways to propagandise many youths towards conservative / officially known as right wing parties. I knew way to many people who said so much sht just because they found another nonsensical post on (e. g.) tiktok. It just pains me to believe how many young adults, that can vote, were fed full since childhood with this kind of bull. And never forget middle aged men that either went to war or only training and based their hopes on this kinda sht. They never fail to disappoint.
Or tv. Maybe humanity just needs a global two week vacation disconnect.
I just can't understand how easy people fall for propaganda and do absolutely 0 research on their beliefs. If even a fraction of humanity had critical thinking, imagine how good life could be.
Same. "This guy says something I wish to be true? Yay, I will vocally believe whatever he says without any questioning" - da fuck. Try breaking a tree with your bare hands just because you believe you are stronger and see how that goes. Why would anything else work any different?
