Was social media a mistake?
I used to think social media was good because thanks to them, governments couldn’t fabricate false narratives. But it turns out that they are still doing it.

Social media was not a mistake, it’s a deliberate calculated attack on historical norms of communication and relationship building. A tool to make a deliberate shift from those with fewer but more meaningful relationships to drive change, to utilizing the power of minimally informed crowds turned into mobs that do your bidding.
