i can see where you’re coming from, because it all seems so ridiculous.  like, how can so much of this be real?!

but these mobs are real.  the hateful rhetoric is real.

the jan 6 idiocy & violence was real.  real right-wing, republican maga folks.  not actors.

it all seems so absurd and one is tempted to call them fake, but it’s an unfortunate & real consequence of social media...  

these days especially, most people have no mind of their own, so loud social media accounts fill these zombie-prone, empty-headed folks with their nonsense or hate.

mobs are formed.  idiots are led by idiots/evil/both.

𝕏 is bankrolling libs of tik tok, bc that’s the kind of thing lowlifes get emotional over.  the psychotic & hateful vibe makes empty ppl feel full (of themselves) & addicted.  it’s all real.  when social media platforms need to make money from ads, all that matters is click number go up.  there are more lowlife kind of degenerate people than there are good people, so at scale, especially without principled, honest & good leaders, it’s a swamp situation of more n more swamp…real swamp.
