Social media
Social media is a euphemistic term for the gossipy and busybody websites that have developed to make money off of the many underachievers who waste 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 a large number of divorces: 80% in one report[1] and 20% in an earlier report.[2]
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.
Politicians who embrace Facebook seem to enjoy a short-term boost in popularity followed by a long-term decline in credibility.[3]
