My aunt recently gave me a good advice, and a person in one chat with, I suspect, very interesting expertise gave the same advice in different form.
Emotions harm reason, and propaganda is not just directed at suppressing or increasing the emotion. It’s directed at making you emotional when you should be patient, and apathetic when you should be emotional, and act when you should wait, and wait when you should act.
It can easily work since everyone feels their fight of their day to be unique. But it’s not, and more than that - you can always look a few years back and remember that not only was it predicted, but you yourself predicted it.
By all this smartassery I meant - people making the laws don’t want them to work as we do, and they have sterilized the field. Think further.

The last sentence. You can say all you want in social media to blow off steam, but you’ll only make things right in the real world with real power applied. And posting it here you’ve removed yourself from there.
Social media are not designed to be usable for organizing and combining those crumbs of power we all possess. They are actually designed for the opposite goal - to let everyone receive the dopamin hit from saying what should be done and forgetting it, from dispersing their power as thinly as possible. Look at your 300+ likes, all worthless.
A self-regulating propaganda device, better than cheap and good brothels everywhere, or cheap alcohol and cheap and legal maryjane. Also alcohol and maryjane reduce one’s labor value, while brothels can have an effect opposite to the desirable (there’s need for validation in the society, thus in hierarchy, which gets reduced by being sexually content). Social media are better in both regards.
