It’s not social media. It’s the state of the world. It’s the news that everything is fucked and nothing we can do about it. It’s just social media is a way to know about what fucked up shit is going on, not social media it self.

I think there is a certain amount of social media that is itself the problem.

Like, trolls and rage baiters are a menace; not to mention social media is often an assault on nuance.

Memes are still really popular but they undercut serious discussion … and often just make noise about depressing shit without even the inkling of answers to the problems they comment on.
