The replies on this. Got to admit I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was and this is from someone who is aware of the lesser known social media disruptors i.e. Paul Watson, Femi, Cheong etc etc
I despair how as a country (and perhaps as a planet) we’ve been pushed into different corners, divided and then bombarded with news to a degree that everyone must have a live opinion on it. Its fed into everyone’s pocket on a multitude of apps. Used to be just the TV news that people shouted at. Its inescapable and its so draining, we’re baited by algorithms for clicks – net resulting being societal divide paying £££ to those stoking it. Quite enjoyed just being able to mix with people from outside my circle in the 90s/00s without having to draw serious lines between beliefs. We’ve been completely screwed over and indoctrinated with hatred from tech companies, inept politicians and influencers. If i could pull the plug on social media and 24/7 news i would….dont think anyone would miss it after a month or two. Worrying where the world is headed for our children and grandchildren.
