Social media
Social media is a euphemistic term for the gossipy and busybody websites that have developed to make money off of the typically underachieving users who spend time there. Characteristics of social media include:
- lack of educational content
- lower academic and job-related achievement by those who spend time there
- dominance by misleading liberal belief systems
- interference with the development of good, lasting relationships
- displacement of healthy social gatherings
- contributing to 25% of all divorces[1]
These busybody websites provide their users with a false sense of achievement as they add 'friends' or 'followers' to their often pseudonymous accounts. Users often display compulsive behavior, endlessly producing vacuous and repetitive content for their facebook pages or twitter feeds, where the near-total absence of conservative voices allows the most absurd nonsense to be applauded by 'followers'. The term itself demonstrates the unhealthy attitudes found on - and encouraged by - these sites, as users strive to build armies of unquestioning supporters and flee from honest, open-minded, intellectual debate.
