They are platforms designed mostly for signaling, not really discussion. The purpose of Facebook and Twitter is for people to shout hey look at me look at me I am one of the virtuous people! and to unleash vitriol against anybody who expresses dissent.

The PRC is probably jealous as fuck of Facebook. It's the perfect establishment tool to manufacture and enforce consent. It's basically puritanism online. Most people are shouting how they are down with the puritan program, and anybody who is caught not expressing that or dissenting from it is attacked, punished, shamed, and shunned.

It's actually genius if you think about it.

The platform isn't designed for debate. Facebook is the wrong tool for anything other than trying to convince yourself that you aren't totally alone in a world that doesn't care by generating tiny chunks of acknowledgment from near strangers for mundane activities. I wouldn't put to much stock in what you can or can't achieve on Facebook.

Twitter is worse.
HAIL!

Her needs America so they won't just take his shit away like in some pussy non gun totting countries can happen.

Facebook & Twitter are the distribution center of Cultural Marxism. I have literally seen entire threads of young White girls saying how much they hate White people - I thought that was just click-bait stuff. And did you see my Antifa thread? That thing was loaded with twerps. Where do you think all the transgenders & weirdos, LGBTKKKs, feminists, etc. disseminate their bile?

Sure. NAZIs are socialist... they don't exactly bury the lead.
Why are lefties so mute and demur when it's pointed out that Hitler was the best at socialism? What happened? I thought you guys were agit-proping for communism but now you're all like "ewww icky. I think he gassed some jews. Btw fuck the bankers amirite?" I mean are you guys so hung up on cutting your dicks off and calling yourselves two-spirit gender queers that you forgot all about Hitler? I genuinely don't understand.
Well, I don't know if he was the best at it. There is a lot to unpack when it comes to dickless, two-spirit gender-queers, materialism, and the left.

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Facebook and Twitter are the stupid hammers of our society that turn all discussion into nails. It isn't ideal.

Besides, what is wrong with weirdos?

"Weirdo" is a great word: it's not derogatory yet it implies serious difference from the norm. I love to use it in the phrase, "The Left is women, minorities & weirdos."

p.s. I'm certainly a "weirdo."

Fair enough. "The right is dudes, whites & weirdos."

I think the real problem with Facebook and Twitter is that they amplify all of the stupid conversations and opinions that we used to have and share with only our immediate friends and family. It makes it seem like there is some sort of tsunami of idiotic ideas that is new, and overwhelming, but it is an illusion.
I have thought and said all kinds of unbelievably stupid shit, but there wasn't the option to broadcast it to the whole damn world. I am morally certain the same can be said for just about everybody.
Young people getting all riled up over bad ideas ain't new, and neither are the often slippery definitions of political ideas.

The Internet lowers the returns to distributing facts, while social media increases the returns to distributing signaling goods.

While institutions selling access to facts (newspapers, mags, TV news, etc) have lost their business models, the model for distributing opinions and signaling goods is booming.

I bet your facebook feed right now is at least half virtual signaling goods -- political, religious, and tribal affiliations.

Lemme know if I'm right or wrong/
