Three on, one off |
 I woke up today, turned in the news, and for the first time in months I wasn’t bombarded with “flattening the curve” “social distancing” “wear/don’t wear masks” stories. That all disappeared like a popcorn fart. Social media has created a form of human murmuration.. Just like thousands of birds flying as one and changing directions instantly, the social media masses acquire a new piece of news and run with it in the internet echo chamber. The instant access to, and ability to share, information in real time creates this phenomenon and it is unprecedented in human history. It can be an incredibly destructive force. | ||

Yes, most social media has the attention span of a gnat. I have a few SIGs. | |||

Let’s give G-man a break, he’s new here, only been around for, oh, 18 years. Never mind.  You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

In my defense I would submit that my thread is about the fickle nature and potentially destructive power of social media group-think. However, I have been here for a little while and if Para feels this topic is verboten then I would offer an apology and request the thread be deleted. | |||

This ^^^^^ Different subject. The Wu Flu is only tangentially related. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

Right. And just like that, nobody is talking about the ‘Rona.... Because the ‘Rona is no longer working into the Dems narrative. Now... we are back to RACISM! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||
