I can’t blame the advent of social media for the slew of antisocial behaviours we’ve seen over the years that have become normalised at this stage.
Social networking is a bit like physics: momentum going in is momentum coming out.
It’s far more comfortable for people to blame the tool instead of whomever is wielding it.
@theauracle The internet allows incredible casual cruelty, as I'm sure you know. It's awful.
@sullybiker It is but I think the disheartening bit comes from the conviction those who grandstand as “good” people are doing the exact same thing those deemed “bad” do to justify their actions: using their being aggrieved as a licence to kill.
@theauracle It is most disheartening to see it from those that think they're 'good' as well.
