      Now that you mention it, it’s interesting, considering how we all share the same views, how we use this platform to preach to ourselves rather than to organize and collaborate

        I’ve long said that it’s possible venting anger on social media may be kinda like announcing you’re gonna do something healthy and then not actually following through, because the brain’s flawed reward system gives you the good feel chemicals for just fantasizing about going on that run instead of actually going for a run.

        The next question I consider is if it wasn’t a deliberate consequence in the early internet…are the billionaire corporates in charge of social media platforms aware of this now, thereby actively seeking out ways to make us docile more efficiently so we don’t get “uppity?”
