Social media platforms do "foster engagement" (keeping them on the platform for ad clicks/time by showing them hate content). Which turns teens depressive or homicidial.
And those ~~politicians~~ spineless fools prefer to ban teens from the platforms over holding the platforms accountable.

Not a great time to be anything other than an adult white male. Everyone else being attacked.
Not sure why you think white males aren't also being attacked. Everybody is attacking everybody these days. Thats the plan. The wealthy want a bunch of pointless fighting over trivial shit that doesn't bother them, so they can sit back and do nothing.
Jokes on you, being an adult white male still doesn’t exclude you from being attacked.
Its maybe halfway getting there but you also need to make sure you are not queer, not emphatic to others and above all rich.
