Everyone over 40: "Yup, social media has really fucked those kids' brains up"

Whereas the reality is that things are so fucked because these idiots get their news from Facebook. The Trump administration admitted to making a mistake deporting Kilmer Garcia - they’ll never find out because they’re too busy sharing OAN articles about that trans women they bullied out of fencing.

I am well over 40 and I agree with OP. Then again, I didn't give up my empathy at the door to adulthood.

Social media was a mistake. User age has nothing to do with it.

I have seen so many 50+ year olds that waste several hours a day doomscrolling Facebook say this unironically.

Judging by the typical Facebookfeed, I’d strongly argue the opposite.
