@Obscurequokka humans are tribal by nature. Your fighting a losing battle πŸ™‚

Millions of years of evolution has programmed us to find like minded people and that's all that's happening.

@Wetrix You're probably right.
It still saddens me.
Plus makes me question whether we are making a scapegoat out of social media instead of addressing the deeper issues, which are harder to solve.
Not that social media doesn't have real problems- corporate overreach, free speech, privacy, etc.

@Obscurequokka well yes and no. You have to realize that social media is only enabling and amplifying what we normally do.

Instead of being like minded with a few people we're doing it with millions now and creating an echo chamber and feeding off each other on a national level ie Antifa, BLM etc are born.

Is it social media's fault? I'd have to say no. That's like blaming the gun instead of the person for killing someone. πŸ™ƒ
