I image the Right feels pretty much the same but about Zuckerberg spreading far Left ideas too.
In reality, social media encourages, amplifies and reinforces facile and misinformed ideas, which has led us to this polarized hellhole of people with incredibly bad ideas screaming on both sides while the centre recoils in horror.
Radicalization has existed before social media. It’s a symptom of a failing system (liberal capitalism in this case). Yes, people might be polarized due to misinformation in some cases, but they are alo polarized due to seeing the contradictions in existing society, like the failure of the West to act on the Gaza genocide and many more issues.
Of course, while billionaire owned corporations control these mediums, they will influence the discourse in a way that benefits them, and they will never be a truly open forum for discussion.
This sounds like the NRA “yeah well people still kill each other with knives!” Like, yes, but the current technology has made the problem significantly worse.

Oh wow this centrist is so enlightened, they’ve figured out that feeding everyone and not killing the planet are the exact same evils as genocide and fascism.
The point just wooshed right over your head eh?
Who could possibly have foreseen the enlightened centrist trying to intellectually put down the people that disagree with them?
It’s partly a result of their position being indefensible, of course.
Is it my fault what you wrote was completely unconnected to the comment?
Sure bud. Go back to tickling your prostate with that fencepost.
Who could possibly have foreseen the enlightened child being a jerk with the people that disagree with them?
It’s partly a result of their position being indefensible, of course.
