I'm sure it does, but to only allow ideas that conform with ideas you already have is to be set up.
How are you going to know if you are wrong if all you hear are sycophants?
I do support you in your attempt, but I hope they don't do that.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Most people are on the internet and social media sites to have a good time, not in search for the holy grail of Truth.
All the better to slap them with it,....
No. Exposing people to content they don't care about is being a dick. People can look for content, it shouldn't be shoved down their throats.
Also, people who preach the "Truth" are usually wrong and/or lying, which is why I avoid them like the plague.
I totally agree, but I don't need walls to control my behavior, if I don't like it I just change the channel.
You don't, but some others may want them. Maybe even the majority. If you force different people into the same community, they will get into fights.
This is why it's a good idea to separate people into their own separate communities.
Everybody wins.
People will self segregate, we need to bring us more together, though, if we eliminate rule by force, it won't matter.
As long as rule by force is the norm, separation perpetuates the brutality.
You live in this cotton candy fairytale land, where people can be "brought together". They can't. There are too many factors involved that make people and cultures different that trying to "bring them together" will just lead into conflict. Look at the mass immigration into Europe as a recent example.
The 60s are over, the hippies were wrong and you people need to let it go.
Let people separate from the people they don't, and never will, like, and that is a step towards peace.
Most people are annoying anyway.
Wow, where do I start with that?
If we don't learn to live together, cooperatively, death and brutality win.
You live in a dystopic nightmare that I read as fantasy as a child.
The people think what they are led to think.

There was no 'mass immigration', those folks were bombed from their perfectly comfortable lives by miserable psychopaths that currently engineer the consent.
I've already agreed that folks will self segregate, there is a mute function if you need another level of that, but to cut folks off into smaller herds is to make them easier prey to ideas they have no idea even exist.
...no. If we are all forced into the same community that's when you run into the conflicts.
(Here)We can't be forced into the same community, we can be walled off from it, though.
You chose what to read, from the titles you choose which posts interest you, of those you choose which to comment, and vote, you have been forced to do nothing, but pass on titles that repel you.
If those titles get to be too much you can mute their authors.
But, by creating groups you build walls to keep out ideas that don't agree with your confirmation bias.
This is exactly what led to those folks being bombed out of their good thing, and into your difficult situation.
Those of us that have read history are doomed to watching those who haven't repeat the mistakes of yesterday.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what to tell you.
Ok, good luck in your endeavor.
You, too.
ha ha! yes!
