I'm an older millennial. I grew up without the internet, at first, and I never really got into social media.

As a 20 year old, I can say for certain social media has destroyed most minds of ppl my age (18-25). Most ppl are super detached from one another and prefer to either stay home play video games or just scroll through instead of coming outside. Young men have all become insecure, sigma and doubtful while women have all gained more confidence, options and want more exceptions from men, so it's definetly destroyed the dating marketplace from young ppl. If your not active on social media, your basically a ghost. And I’m a little lost myself tbh.

Woman have more confidence? They are the ones being most affected because of their dependence on validation. Its a scary reality

[@emilyadams3228]

In March 2022, I got so completely sick of FB censoring me, that I went on Messenger and told all my friends I was deleting it, and sent them my phone number. I only had 15 friends left, from a peak of 55. Then I deleted Fb and M. In the next five months, only two people ever called me, and they were freinds I'd known since 1972 and 1982. The only other ones I had contact with were five co-workers who I saw every day anyway. In August, I opened Version V of FB, cos the other eight friends were people who I didn't want to lose contact with, even though it really bothered me that they didn't seem to mind losing contact with me via being allergic to phone calls. And not all of them were 20-somethings, half of them were around my age (58). Way before this shit, and yet, they also don't call people, don't want to meet in real life, the whole bit. Which means that it wouldn't have mattered when social media appeared, be it in 2004 or 1984 or 1964 or 1884, people would've jumped on it, cos they've been doing the worst things, whatever is the most self-destructive, socially corrosive thing, since ever. It's like the old saying "Guns don't kill people, people do". Social media isn't the problem, it's a symptom. The only new thing in all the tr@fficking, etc is that SM has made it possible for it to go worldwide, instead of a regional and underground "ya gotta know someone" kind of deal.

[@bobb5492]

laziness. a lot of people simply aren't even capable of this kind of foresight. a lazy mind is a weak mind. most people are mentally lazy. either that or they like to live in some sort of paradisiacal delusion that there aren't extremely evil, machiavellian people in the world. same reason it used to be "throw on a disney movie to shut the kids up and let me do my own thing for a while". Worse so, that so many parents feel their kids are "safer" having a phone. This, decades after the "sexual revolution" sought to validate a self-destructive promiscuous lifestyle that produced millions, if not hundreds of millions of children that weren't planned, or wanted in the first place. their parents might love them, but that fact still hangs in the dynamic of their relationship and existence like an odor that won't go away. The path of least resistance doesn't lead to anything good or noble in this world, and unfortunately, sexual 'liberation', a societal attitude that 'shame' should be abolished, in tandem with a culture that quickly and predictably arranged itself around instant gratification being the highest good, is an absolutely ingenious way to initiate, and hasten the dissolution of a society. When it gets to a point where all most people care about is their own pleasure, whatever that may be, and getting it NOW, there's hardly enough people left to do the real jobs, and keep the lights on, or to care to do so for a populace that lives for hedonism, and produces nothing of tangible value, aside from mass distribution of corruption, and foisting it on younger generations. There doesn't need to be a god for the tale of babylon to be a valid cautionary story. Children are the foundation of any civilizations future, if they themselves have no meaningful foundations for their lives, and are mercilessly preyed upon, the civilization has no future.
