Pretty much it’s not as bad as these sheltered mofos think it is Lmao
Y’all sound like the sheltered ones tbh.
ironically a lot of the judgement is from people thinking theyre being good people
i used to talk to strangers irl all the time before the pandemic. and plan to again
online will forever be toxic. you either gotta accept that or disconnect
i honestly think since 2012 we've become more cynical through the use of the internet and the rise of memes.
babel fell for a reason
kony changed the world also the mayans were right
s*** is crazy in hindsight
I think the internet is skewing ya's perceptions of things. S*** used to be a lot worse before
I find the opposite. Online everyone's an a****** but general speaking just talking to people outside, they're pretty nice and a lot more reasonable.
Seriously..get off the internet...go outside...get a job. Occupy yourself...the world isn't as miserable as social media presents it...trust.
Everybody is much nicer in person nowadays
Niggas don’t even get bullied like that anymore

This true too
When youre overly vocal about something you usally hiding Something
Online is a lot more vicious because the minority is the loudest majority here.
While of course irl you will still have an occasional racist/asshole & it also depends where you live or put yourself in. Imo tho overall its great irl, for the most part.
But on the otherhand i feel like a lot of yall are sheltered away & JUST exposed to s*** online which in turn magnifies it in your head.
Like a user on here with a thread a week or so ago saying he used to never or rarely see talks & images of racism until modern internet & it seems to him that relations between races are worst than "ever" lol. Same with internet images of police brutality & such.
But to me, as a mixed black man, that s*** has ALWAYS been present and actually irl its way better than it was even 10 to 15 years ago. YOU just not really exposed to it outside of a constant internet feed so in your head its bigger than what it is since you're getting a constant stream of it & you personally never experienced it beforehand, but ive always been around & heard about it from actual in person people to whatever degree. Its not new, overblown or shocking to someone like myself.
I personally always experienced injustices & a******s through out life, but to me its been better as time goes on in reality. The internet to a degree is either an over exaggeration, or an exposure of something to those outside of the know.
I think it’s all about how you present yourself as a person too. I’m a very warm and friendly person so I never have issues talking to strangers
Lol op genuine question, is there anything good you have to say about society these days?
Do you think that online s*** is ruining our culture?
I feel like it is destroying us as a country.
Social media is my answer and Grown Men acting like B****es
Seriously..get off the internet...go outside...get a job. Occupy yourself...the world isn't as miserable as social media presents it...trust.
and it doesn’t matter because poorer people/those who are struggling/bullied etc now have access to internet and a wider ranger of resources
if people are angry it’s because the world IS s***
i’m tired of these threads from privileged people it’s almost the same vibe as “politics isn’t that serious”

Feel like it was 2017 when EVERYTHING got bad.
yep. the internet and politics are ruining the world. as a 20 year old i can even see how much the world has changed in the past 10 years. You get judged for having different opinions, views, morals, etc. especially if they don’t match up with what society claims to be “right”.
Bro this sucks so much.
jus had a lovely convo with my lyft driver.
But ya @op i kinda feel what ur saying too
I think it might be because our culture is so focused on getting ahead of each other instead of empathy
Don't wanna sound like a boomer but I do think the internet adds to the problem a bit
People constantly say s*** online that would not slide in person because of anonymity. People like to say everyone's just too sensitive nowadays but like come on dawg, I don't think it's normal for humans to be so vitriolic to each other like we our on the net
You're not a boomer for speaking the truth bro.
This is real. You're right though the internet has changed everything and it's more negative than positive.

I think you are completely missing his point...
