  • Discussion boards existed way before what people consider ‘social media’ (MySpace, Facebook, and the list goes on), places where people talk not about a topic at hand but themselves. If you consider ALL OF IT social media then I guess I agree, sure. And live streams about themselves and not, like, an open discussion about a given topic is certainly what one would consider ‘social media’, but like I said it’s all about what you do with the platform.







  • Probably more like “be wise enough to understand the world and yourself without feeling overwhelmed by it” because almost invariably the reason people have so much venom for the “other” is due to their own insecurities and misconceptions (“if I make you feel bad about yourself and you accept it/don’t fight it, I’m better than you and that gives me enough fuel not to collapse”), but I guess ‘skill issue’ is succint, lol.







  • Many things at many times, but never about my personal life and thoughts, and that of my immediate circle. It’s things like why Kissinger was infamous or what Belgium was doing in Congo some years ago, and how it seems at times that I “swim in the sea of the unconscious” (from Persona 4’s OP, wonderful game!) and I can’t seem to find any solution to it besides waking people up one by one and the destiny of the world lies on people who know what Labubu is but don’t know why they do the things they do because they’re consumerist, hedonistic, unthinking automatons (to certain degrees, of course, but the Western ideological vacuum leaves people to default into it. And God has been dead there since at least Nietzsche’s days)…

    But then I take a deep breath and remember I too will die in due time and whatever responsibility I feel for this world will die with me. And also, I’m just one man. 🤷



  • That’s just having eyes and ears, lol. And a heart to be on the side of the oppressed and not the oppressor, I guess. I prefer using other words, that’s all. Best case scenario, it’s tacky/vacuous; worst case scenario it means I consider the oversexualization of everything (and even infantilization like Sabrina Carpenter’s whole act, for instance), ‘polyamory’ and AGP transexualism, for instance, valid ways of living/thinking simply because I don’t think people should be persecuted because they put on a short skirt (or the same but they have a penis)/like the same sex/are not nationalistic Europeans…
