I've had a revelation and will stop doing any politically motivated posts from now on.
It should be common sense, but we need to remember that our algorithms are curated by tech companies in order to make us angry, and therefore engaged. And there are people (like Charlie Kirk, among millions of others) who use that to their advantage in moments like these to try and become famous.
None of it is real.
Don't believe your algorithms. Believe in the conversations you have in real life.
Believe that most people are good.

When I was in GCSE Media we were taught "Magazines curates the mind." Back then people would look at big mansions / fancy cars on magazines or that famous celeb full o bling. They would turn to crime to fulfill that lifestyle.
Today Media / Social app curates the mind. We get depressed / envious seeing our cousin or friends married, kids and own home when we are single and still at home.
The lesson is get out there and do something about it. U want bling, learn to sing and get famous. U want a mansion, open up your own empire. U want successful life, get out there! Leave home and good things will come your way.
Even I can sigh, moan and complain "Oh! Look at me! Oh!" Or I can leave parents' home thas literally thee first step. Move to another City if I must and curate my own world.
@Sazzio As a former teacher of, amongst other subjects, media studies it's good to read a positive comment about how useful it was. I usually read dismissive comments from people who know nothing about it. The substance of what you've written is of course absolutely true.
