Dropped happily off Facebook in 2016 when I realised how mad it had made me. And how it had divided friends, families and colleagues. This was around the Brexit referendum. A stupid binary decision thrown at tens of millions of people, but by just a tiny few of our so called servants, and influenced by corruption, arrogance and with no back up plan, either way.
I had to get off Facebook when I realised it was tearing me and my family to pieces.
Facebook feeds were killing the loves between me and friends. That's the truth.
That Zuckerberg bucket has claimed that Facebook builds bridges connecting people and ideas. But don't forget he lives in a house surrounded by giant walls. There are no bridges there. Just division.
In literal terms 'social media' is quite simply another lie. It's the most antisocial thing we've experienced since war and war crimes, racism, misogyny, rape and murder, homophobia, paedophilia, genocide, theft, brain washing, hateful propaganda, divisive religious systems, cruelty to animals....whatever.
-Social media is a cancerous yet contagious celebration of narcissistic traits.-

Youth will wake up though. We always do. I believe in the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. We believe in waking up.
Drop the phones, the TV, drop the gaming and the Telegram and the Tiktok. Won't cost you a penny.
We can escape this madness.
By waking up - and actually talking to one another.
And listening.
