Why Is Social Media So Toxic? The desire to improve our social standing is natural. What's unnatural is the toxicity of doing so through social media. It seems self-evident that the divisiveness that characterizes this juncture of American history is manifesting profound social and economic disorders that have little to do with politics. In this context, social media isn't the source of the fire, it's more like the gasoline that's being tossed on top of the dry timber. So why is social media so toxic to healthy dialog and tolerance, and to those who live much of their lives via social media? Because in the social media world, there are no moderating feedbacks. Anyone who dares question the extremism being reinforced by the "tribe" is quickly attacked or ejected from the tribe. Attacking moderate voices increases the potential "rewards" / likes from tribal members. https://www.oftwominds.com/blogoct18/toxic-social-media10-18.html

Pale Rider - The Storm by Doug Simpson 🩸 ✝️ In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot. ― Mark Twain “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!” ― Barry Goldwater "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." ― Thomas Jefferson "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ― Thomas Jefferson "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" ― Thomas Jefferson “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan Remember Ruby Ridge. Remember the family of Randy & Vicki Weaver. Remember an FBI sniper shooting an unarmed mother through a door holding her infant daughter. Remember Waco. Remember a host of other government sponsored murders, including LaVoy Finicum. No more free Ruby Ridges and no more free Wacos. We're drawing our line in the sand. Isn't it about time you drew yours? https://rumble.com/v3e1yqg-pale-rider-the-storm.html
