Do you think celebrities help contribute a lot to the current anti-science sentiment that's happening in America, the heart and centre of celebrity worship? It helped facilitate the Anti-Vac movement, and now it seems to be spreading to the Anti-5G movement as well.
Celebrity opinion is too powerful.
I think the bigger problem is the people who push, often obvious, falsehoods by making appeals to "the experts" or "science" regardless of what actual research shows.
Even then, you'd have to know what "actual research" is.
I was talking more about shit coming from political activists and pop science media. When you hear someone claim that "science" says the world will end in 10 years, it will make you a lot less likely to take global warming seriously. Also just being non-ionizing doesn't make near constant high intensity emf exposure safe. There is good reason to slow the roll out of 5g stations and wait for more testing, even if the karens making Facebook posts about it don't understand.
Social media was the worst creation ever.
As a matter of fact, Twitter is one of the worst inventions mankind had the gall to develop. It's nothing but positive feedback bullshit, and just by being a little influential your shit will grow disproportionally.
Thanks to this pandemic, this has been the most visible, and my country went to absolute shit thanks to it.
>retard goes on campaign of terror
>ignores doctors
>let the virus spread
>pissed as hell things didn't go as he planned and used some dumbass health law to justify authoritarism
>but it's fine because hey, the previous government was bad, and the other governments in the world are also bad, so let's shower the narcissist idiot with praise until everyone dies.
You dumbass don't even know how to do research or science. One shitty paper isn't the truth. Not even most experts are capable of using research as their primary source of information, they need the bullshit conclusions and raw data processed by other publishers to get a guideline, then how could the average autist or normalshit do this?
Nothing wrong with questioning the safety of 5G.
do I need to tell you how I know you're a zoomer?
better of dead was the fucking bombs yo
Ask me how I know you're a schizo.
John Cusack isn't influencing anyone. The ones you have to look out for are the Ariana Grandes or Billie Eilishes of the celebrity world that have armies of teenagers that would kill themselves if they suggested doing so.
The answer is you think people weren't awful and unintelligent before social media
Twitter seems more popular with millennials than it is with zoomers. Zoomers are more into IG I think.
>mutt doesn't know what positive feedback is
Color me surprised.
I would kill for those milkers.
>Celebrity opinion is too powerful.
If you are influenced by a celebrity in any way shape or form your are already retarded and more than likely have never voted
>celebrity worship
That's been in decline for years.
Why are most stereotypes of Americans stuck in the Bush administration?
She's so fucking disgusting. I wouldn't do it even if the milkers were +25% bigger.
You think your positive feedback didn't exist before twitter, which is why you are a zoomer. I'm trying to tell you this
Don't forget tech bros trivializing everything making it seem like there's an obvious fix to multifaceted problems
It exacerbates it, yes? Before you had to meet with real people, which posed an obstacle. Now you can just pull up twitter. It takes literally no effort.
stfu grappa
no
Not really. People tended to stick to their existing social groups, which acted as a reinforcement mechanism.
It absolutely does exacerbate everything I'm just tired of people complaining about social media like it's the root of the problem. The real problem is the fucking virus itself, and that would be the issue regardless if social media existed.
My problem with him is he pretends to know everything when he knows nothing and takes the credit for what a team of experts tells him to do and say.
What's with the USA and snake oil salesmen?
It's not like either of us have any hard data on this, but I imagine if you're raving in the middle of the night, you're not gonna go to your gonna go knocking on 'existing social groups''s houses to spread whatever nonsense you've come up with, but you can go online and tweet about it.
I don't know shit about her music or personality, but she's prettier than most witeoid females and the milkers are an excellent example of what good milkers look like.
Dumbass. Saying water is wet doesn't mean shit. It is a given that people are idiots, humans can't know everything and they can't bother looking into things out of the scope of their lives, this is a law, the cards you were dealt, something you work with.
I don't even remember what started this bullshit, be that facebook, myspace or whatever, but social media has been the biggest contributor to disinformation in human history. I set twitter as an example, because that's the most influential shit in my country. If you argue Fox news had a bigger effect before social media, thats also wrong. Social media has a psychological effect in which you are more likely to take something as truth because you feel you made a personal discovery, something you found with your own effort, so the bullshit is yours. This isn't the same with widely broadcast bullshit as people can either agree or deny it, not preach it.
>you're not gonna go to your gonna go
Fuck. Now I look like a schizo.
I mean, that's just the modus operandi of average succesful person. Fake it till you make it.
Right, but most people don't use Twitter. Maybe you'd have a point about boomers on Facebook, but normal people don't use Twitter. The media make it seem like it's more relevant than it really is.
But this psychological effect is part of the very human nature you take as given. Turns out you're equally liable to dogmatically take something as true if you "discover it for yourself" in a book or in conversation. There's nothing preventing social media from being a positive influence, except the very people who use it. There's no need to abstract it from humans
If by widely broadcast bullshit you're also talking about Fox News, then you're argument is circular because you already said that social media modified normal media. And I agree with you there, but Fox News was shitty a long while before Facebook.
>but back when people still spoke midatlantic accents!
In my opinion, the news was less retarded simply because less people consumed and participated in it.
Nigger, the virus is an inanimate thing, literally, it cannot even move a milimeter by itself. What schizos spout about it being only a bit worse flu is also not far from reality. It is very easy to stop this virus with measures that could work with Ebola or even stronger fucks than this. Very very easy.
1. Close borders and cancel flights to prepare yourself, a few days is enough.
2.Tell everyone to go into quarintine, no exceptions. Ignore idiots who disobey, they won't do harm anyways.
3. Use your army to deliver food at each home.
4. Open airports again, recall tourists, put everyone in quarintine.
5. Wait One month so you cull the cases.
6. Lift internal quarintine after one month.
7. Keep putting arrivals into quarintine until pandemic ceases.
That's it. Simple, yet effective. You don't need to blow your economy for this, everyone can afford one month, very few people can't afford 2 weeks, but they can manage. That's ALL the shit governments had to do. But there was this constant worrying and shitflinging about muh economy that made everyone literally trash their places for fucking years now, and social media has been used as a tool to deter criticism from the half assed measures everyone makes. Nobody took this shit seriously and the fuckers gagged the people who could say the right things.
