Stupid Instagram quote

[SchizoPolyGymnast]

So I know you all know that IG can be a cesspool of toxic positivity. I had the misfortune of coming across this gem. I'll keep this short and sweet.

I'm paraphrasing here:
They say there's no reward for being a good person but yes there is! It brings you peace! No looking over your shoulder!"

Yes, as long as we are perfect to everyone at all times nothing bad will ever happen to us. I wonder how crime victims and political prisoners feel about that.

There isn't much truth to that unfortunately. People kill without reason, bully without reason, and rob others of personal belongings without reason. I feel like no matter how nice you are you'd still get hurt. Actually you'd get hurt more than the people who aren't nice. Because you'd look like an easy target for those who are just evil the moment they came down on this planet.

It's vaguely victim-blamey and buys into the just world fallacy

"So I know you all know that <insert social media here> can be a cesspool of toxic positivity/negativity/neutrality"

Here fixed for ya!

Seriously though, social media is not made to socialize or even pass the time anymore. It's just yet another tool to control the masses. Most of the users are just AIs trying to scam real people! And of course the fake empathy stuff where one person gives a lot to a random stranger, except it's not a random stranger it's just acting and gets millions of views aka MONAYY.

In the end, if it comes from a corporation, it's meant to generate MONEY, no matter what.
