Everyone: "Twitter sucks! Jack Dorsey sucks! They censor anyone telling the truth!"
5 Seconds Later: OMG!! BREAKING!! IT'S HAPPENING!!! HUGE!!! BOOM! [reposts a tweet]
Let's fess up. We've all done it. I'm not calling anyone out. There is a lot of important shit going down and we all want info. We're all fed up with the bullshit and want to see some news that things are breaking our way. We all want to share news when we see it. It doesn't make any of us bad people.
Let's face it though. There is a lot of bullshit out there. Even GEOTUS himself retweets some bullshit. (I think he gets a kick out sending liberals into collective hissy fits most of the time). Bottom line. Twitter isn't news. We all know it. We all bitch about it. It doesn't matter who tweets it. None of this is an attack on anyone... except Dorsey, who is a lying sack of shit.
So, here are two simple suggestions.
-
Wherever you get info from, take two seconds to run it back to a primary source before taking it as gospel. Sometimes the link is right there to primary source info. It doesn't matter if the person reporting it is someone you trust. I am no questioning them. I am saying that people make mistakes, especially when there is so much bullshit floating around and the media and social media is actively trying to suppress everything that doesn't fit their narrative.
-
When people question something, try not to get defensive. Both sides of this will fail because we're all stressed out and fed up with all the bullshit. Just try. If someone really is calling you out and being an ass, slap 'em down! However, slapping someone down is not "Shut up shill!" "Go back to CNN!" and banging downvote and deport buttons. If you followed suggestion 1, you're on solid ground. Smack them down with facts.
Off my soapbox. Everyone may proceed to downvoting me and calling me a shill.
