A comment on Facebook is cooked. Parent comment

What next? The intellectual dark web? I think we can have a free market of ideas or whatever you’re fetishising without it meaning that I can’t sit on the couch and open an app to see some family photos without it being intermingled with some loser saying that trans people should be hanged on the street.

And you know for a fact that I am not exaggerating. This is where the current political discourse is at.

Can I please have the freedom to do that without the lecture?

Do you really need political commentary in your family photos?

(Apparently the answer is "yes", but the commentary must be of the partisan approved kind.)

Your family photos should be on the Photos app and you'd have no problems.

That sort of rage bait is literally targeted to rile up people sitting on the opposite side of the kind of people watching that other media site that rhymes with socks. It’s all fake bullshit algorithmically optimized to divide.

Everybody thinks their tribe is immune to this sort of stuff but it isn’t. It’s all the same nonsense packaged for different echo chambers.

At the end of the day, everybody is human. It isn’t us vs them, it’s just us.
