It appears the “Blame The Immigrants” alarm is too loud and overpowers it, I think the solution is to position ourselves as only hating immigrants somewhat, surely that will make us popular and then people will listen.

I promise when I am elected to always be just a tiny bit less bigoted than the opposition, I live by my values that is just the kind of everyday guy I am.

I think they have no problem with regulatory capture being added to cement their dominance under the guise of protecting kids…

How many Ukrainians did Elon Musk kill by waiting this long to do this?

Why should I care when the US government doesn’t give a shit about protecting me from US companies?

has anyone checked to see if Jeffries is an actual player and not a bot account?

Doctors Without Borders?

I am a child of the generation obliterated by half solutions and illusions of reform, I don’t disagree with you in general but in some specific situations such as this I wholeheartedly believe temporary insufficient solutions that participate in a collective delusion of longterm viability are extremely dangerous and inevitably produce suffocating cynicism in people.

My country is trash.

Yeah sorry I thought it was cool tech but you are right when I read it again.

I think most people agree but when we slip into trashing social media as a concept and lose the nuance I get concerned.

Social media is a terrible for us. Me included. It’s addictive - that’s why I’m here.

If that is how you feel I encourage you to start from a position of curiosity about what draws you here beyond a simple thought terminating comparison to an addictive physical substance or our sex drive.

It’s the combination of an individualized engagement algorithm and user-generated content that defines modern social media.

This is precisely what is supercharging this moral panic, people don’t automatically think critically about this and will bandwagon on social media = bad because it feels righteous and is easy unless WE force a more nuanced conversation.

You are bad at arguments.
