an authoritarian populist leading a radical-capitalist party to victory by promising violent national regeneration to a coalition of the market-ravaged white lower middle class, affluent racists, and (eventually) the owners of the economy's commanding heights is an affirmation of a well-functioning democracy in exactly the same way a tingle in the arm followed by numbness and facefirst collapse into your food is an affirmation of a well-functioning heart

people posting about fresh tuna steaks on a thread about tuna fish sandwiches is like going on a thread about eating shit and being like "I love shit, but I eat it in the form of food that hasn't yet been digested and converted into waste"

social media apps make the people you should be closest to be less close to you, and the people you forgot existed from twenty years ago closer than they should be.

generally it seems like ppl use social platforms to keep up w their not close friends and messaging platforms to keep u w their close friends, so surveying the landscape just based on what u see publicly can be misleading imho
