Not leaving twitter. Since when has it become acceptable to cede ground to fascists?

[Sympthsical]

45. What Dutch attic is everyone posting out of?

The hyperbole has devolved into parody.

It's not France 1940. Sitting in jammies and snarking online is not La Resistance.

I get that America has become something of a . . . uh . . . sedentary country, but no one's waging the grand underground war with Netflix running in the background.

I was at a holiday party last night discussing religion with a friend (he's very churchy - I'm not). And it got down to how humans need religion in some form. Not necessarily a sky God or anything. Just a belief system they'll place a great deal of importance and subsume identity into. Where the rational will be shut off in favor of the irrational and the faith-based. I argued that I think a lot of ideologies - particularly on social media - displace out of objectivity and become as wild as anything else out there.

So, writing tweets is just like tank warfare? And Musk is Hitler now? (I cannot keep up with who is Hitler these days. It's an ever-shifting rascal of a thing).

Yeah. So, anyway. Counterpoint: It's just social media, everyone will live. 99% of what 99% of the people there do is not important and will not be remembered three days from now. It's a daytime distraction on par with interactive soap opera.
