The biggest delusion in modern society is thinking that a Twitter-like social media network is "the place to go for common sense political discussion and analysis".
I keep hearing the media repeat this bullshit. Twitter is not and never was the "public square". It's a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.
Makes me wonder if the actual public squares, sans idealization, were also a place for morons to be morons and heart each other for being morons.
It's like having an argument in a club but in the club people may reconsider what you had to say upon sobering up
