Social media platforms train users to communicate as propagandists: Recent research shows that platform users learn to express polarizing emotions like outrage through “social learning.” Social media users are taught through app feedback – positive reinforcement through notifications – and peer-learning – what they see others do – to post outrage even if they don’t feel outraged and they don’t want to spread outrage.
The more outrage we see, the more outrage we post.
I’m Squidward. At some point we have to realize that it’s not our fellow Americans fault they are misinformed and undereducated, it’s the fault of the ruling class and how we are being educated.

It was never us versus MAGA, us versus the boomers, us versus the tankies. It was always us versus the rich. 🤑

I feel this same way. But I understand people that don’t want to vote for Biden because of the genocide. Their anger is justified. Maybe they’ll feel differently in 6 months, but if they don’t, I respect their decision. It’s their vote, not mine. All I can do is plead my case that Trump and Project 2025 is an existential threat.
You know when the ML’s say “scratch a liberal and …,” it’s that. That’s what you are seeing. Liberals will always defer to fascism in support of corporate interests.
