“People need to work out that arguing with someone online about who is right doesnt actually achieve anything beyond a few fleeting seconds of dopamine high or relief from venting.”
It actually achieves a hell of a lot - not necessarily good though
Regardless of whether one is right wrong or otherwise about emotional issues - when discussed on social media - it’s a barometer of what many think
Political parties pick that up and make policies to suit the match - to gain or maintain power
often whether those policies are good or bad is irrelevant and overlooked- the pursuit is power and government.
it’s absolutely one of the biggest reasons why we have the governments that we have
I have many times commented that we are now closer to true democracy than ever - because the rabble is being heard and their thoughts are being turned into law
