The Facebook of Passive Aggression Part 2

Five years ago this little mini-rant about the Facebook blew up on the very site it’s now calling out, and since then we’ve all watched reason, logic and common sense go down the drain in real time. Back in 2020, I was pointing out how we’re stuck on a never-ending hamster wheel of “I’m right, you’re wrong” fights—Flat-Earthers face off against Influencers of glorified salespeople you’d see at the local mall or the modern day feminists that think people listen to them, each side tossing out made-up “facts” like confetti.

This snapshot of Facebook-rage during a global crisis shows us both the wicked futility of trying to convince each other—and the stubborn spark that tells us, “Hey, maybe we do matter.” Um, we don’t… Logic might scoff, but our emotional neediness to respond keeps whispering something something, darkside…
