Social Media May Be Toxic but It is Entertaining

Not for You

Please note this is all my opinion and does not include everyone but when you go through social media you quickly learn that it is very toxic but so very entertaining. People actually debate on TikTok and other platforms as if it matters. Wait they don't debate, they talk at each other, assuming the other person is evil and they are 100 percent correct. Of course there are friendly people that actually want to learn and will talk to each other but mostly you will see on sites such as TikTok people stitches another person's video and misleading their audience. They will never meet to have a conversation to actually find out what each other believes and try to improve. Many people on both the left and right tend to think they are 100 percent right and know nothing about what the other side actually believes. Usually they simply straw man each other.

Many people on these sites tend to be perpetual victims but act like whites and men cannot be victims. Of course there are plenty of whites and men that act like victims when they are not since that seems to be the in thing today. They have no problem doxing and destroying a persons life if their opinions are different. By the way doxing is illegal and these same people hate their rules applied to them. Just a side note: if someone refers to you as, "Hey, colonizer," then reply to them, "Hello, perpetual victim." I even made that slogan a design on my Redbubble store which you can find on my website in the bio.

That last sentence brings me to another point. Many of these people are just profiting off of various issues and have no plan to solve them; otherwise, they would meet and talk, instead of saying they owe no one an explanation. This has nothing to do with any particular ideology, religion or anything else. A lot of people with pretend to believe in something if they see a way to profit.

You can use all this to your advantage. First, simply do not reply to any videos or comments no matter how much you want to. They will not be swayed by any of your arguments and they could and will attack or threaten you. Secondly, just watch the videos knowing that most likely that person doesn't really understand what they are saying and has no real intention of changing anything. Remember they will not actually talk to those that disagree with them or go point by point through another person's videos and explain why they disagree. They have no intention of changing themselves or anything, only profit, clout, or fame. Thirdly just treat them all as entertainers. I am on TikTok, YouTube, Twitter and other sites and I only care to entertain and hopefully make money so check out my sites and follow. Fourthly, I have seen videos of people claiming those with XO, XXX, XXY, XYY and other combinations are different genders when in fact those are disorders you can always look up. This means you need to check what these people say no matter how much you trust them because we all make mistakes. They may do it on purpose or accident. Finally, remember no ones opinions are more or less valid than yours unless science, or history says something different.

Is social media toxic? Well yes and no. Yes, if you take it seriously and actually engage with those people that have no interest in providing knowledge. The are plenty of creators on these platforms that actually want to spread knowledge and positive vibes and those are the ones you engage in. No, if you treat it like entertainment and laugh at and avoid those that just spread negativity and hatred. Just because they share your beliefs doesn't mean anything. If they say they do not have to prove anything or explain anything, or anything similar than they have no interest in growth or making positive change. I enjoy social media because I treat the people on it as entertainers not people full of knowledge. Get your science from scientist. Get your history from historians. If you read books make sure the historian or scientist that wrote that has peer-reviewed works you can check out. By they way you can email that scientist directly.

There is a lot I can write but I am not perfect and I will start to ramble and remember things to write later. Please read my other works and works by others. Thanks.
