Since I’m choosing to ignore political posts....

....this place is like a ghost town.

Did a lot of people just get fed up with the political stuff and leave?

What did we talk about, before? 🤔

Seems like a lot of the mature adults are missing and it's taken over by teenager mentality.

@Mirage I formed very fixed political views before I was old enough to vote and they are still the same after 43 years. I see no point in arguing about it because I'm never going to change.

@NankerPhelge Understood. No-one is going to change, that's just it. It is about wanting to be right for most people.

@Mirage ETA: Here's one the articles that support the 'emotionally immature' theory I've had for a while.

"Social Media Is Reverting Society From Adults Back Into Children. Social media has steadily eroded all of the basic components of functional adulthood. Social media is in many respects causing a regression of society, deemphasizing the traits we have historically associated with adulthood and restoring us to a state of perpetual infancy. Rather than evolve society into a higher level of collective consciousness that brings forth the best in ourselves, social media has devolved us into toxic schoolyard bullies clamoring for attention and petty victory.

Yikes.

@NankerPhelge I’m tired of arguing. I’m tired of listening to other people argue. Can’t we just all agree to stop trying to make everybody else think the way we do?

@Mirage Thanks for posting a link to the article. Sounds like an interesting read, though probably a depressing one.

@Rutterman You're welcome. I actually made a post about it today. 🙈

@Mirage Ah, very good. I'll go check it out.
