    If you aren’t out there commenting on political issues someone else will be.

    If you’re participating in a social media ecosystem full of artificial content and bot-engagement, you’re not engaging in any kind of interpersonal debate. You’re just arguing with robots.

    At a very absolute minimum, you should be engage with people IRL. Log Off. Touch the fucking grass.

    If only 1 group of people comment then lurkers will think that group is the majority.

    This is why the best use of your time is to go onto the 8chan boards and spend all your time posting.

      That is some slick use of the statement and some thick sarcasm and it got a chuckle out of me.

      Also terrifyingly enough I think probably the thought process of the people on those sites but viewing the rest of the world as the majority.

      Social media is filled with bot content but its still filled with hundreds of millions of real people looking at those posts and comments and subconsciously forming an opinion. My comment applies to IRL as well.

      If everyone on the left logged off and touched grass and entire generation of kids growing up on the internet would move to the right. If you dont want to participate that’s fine, im only giving my opinion on why you should consider doing so.

        Picking through my email spam for the real people, so I can debate them.

        If everyone on the left logged off and touched grass and entire generation of kids growing up

        Would have more time to spend with their left-leaning family and friends, rather than watching them stare at their fucking phones arguing with nobodies.

            You know what? I take it back. Your time is best served arguing with people on the internet.

              Where did I say your time was best served arguing with people? What an odd takeway from my original comment.
