What sucks is that this can (and does) happen EVEN IF YOU WANT TO DO THE THING.
It can also be a problem when people are being bossy or condescending, even if they may be correct it makes me not want to listen to them #themediumisthemessage

I'd like to throw my discourse hat in the ring and assert that femininity itself is what dictates an intrinsic sense of submission and a place in lower hierarchy. while I respect everyone's wishes about their personal gender, I really do believe gender abolition is the way out #TheMediumIsTheMessage

being a trans non-binary person automatically disrupts all right wing narratives about trans people because it dates to step outside of their box of understanding of how gender works. #TheMediumIsTheMessage

Exactly what is needed to get the message out!
Local news will get closer to the audience than the national news!
Democrats need to get their messages in the media!
Saturate social media, the news media and print media!
Social media alone will not reach all the people needed!

Wonder what #Jesus thinks of how #MaryMagdalene was treated by the Catholic Church? Was #She the true prophet? What if Peter lied, and we were raised to believe it? Peter was jealous of Mary. Did Peter love Jesus? Did Peter have two spirits? My thoughts today xo #TheMediumIsTheMessage

The reason the growing dominance of social media in our communication is causing a global shift towards fascism, xenophobia, and conspiracism is because it’s an information space where:
-the most visible ideas are viral ones
-the most viral ideas are the most shocking
-nothing has to be true
-the most visible ideas are viral ones
-the most viral ideas are the most shocking
-nothing has to be true
You may as well say that the Civil War wasn't caused by slavery but by newspapers. The medium drives the politics, but it cannot do so in a vacuum. Just saying "it's social media" doesn't provide anything actionable to change the problem.
