Comment on We should have a term called "Internet casualty," referring to people whose brains have been broken from the internet.

The internet doesn’t break people’s minds.

What does is lack of proper mental health care. A system that doesn’t care about people. A system of perpetual slavery, hate, and violence. Religions lying to people about everything, all the time.

That’s what hurts people.

Is nyan cat hurting people? No.

Is religious hate spread on the internet hurting people? Yes. Is it the internet’s fault? No.

Is Wiki huritng people? No.

Are billionaires buying up all media platforms on the internet hurting people? Yes. Is that the internet’s fault? No.

Don’t demonize techonology, look into who and how it’s being used - and address that problem. Because that problem doesn’t go away if you take away the internet, it just moves to another platform.
