At least with Facebook as you said it does have an actual purpose in keeping contact with people you know and knowing what they are up to, and while I wouldn't say it's a great place to talk about things (because after all, it is still social media) it's a hell of a lot better than that cesspool that is Twitter.
Well, see this is why I'd argue that Facebook is just as bad.

I mean, I understand that in theory it has practical use. In theory you could use it to keep up with all your old friends. In theory you could use it to see what they are up to. Of course in practice, these people never talk to each other. I don't use it (any more) but my brother does and he's got some of my old school friends on his. I asked him if he ever talks to any of these people and the answer was of course 'no'. As for finding out what old friends are doing, the ones that actually have lives are usually too busy to update theirs and the ones that don't are the ones whose business nobody wants to know. You know, that type of person who posts everything on social media and it's like 'nobody cares'.

Facebook is a failure as a website of actual practical use, but it's a triumph of social engineering. See, very few people actually like it but almost everyone uses it, because they're drones and they don't want to be left out.

It's pretty obvious why Twitter is superior to Fagbook...

So Melania wore white to the State of the Union, showing how Drumph and the Republicans are all racist whiteys... but every female Dem in attendance wore white as a sign of dumbass solidarity with baby murder and socialism.

Fake news, baby. Bigger, faker, blacker.

It was probably a different shade of white.

Sounds to me like the same thing as the old boomers who are glued to Cable News. They're convinced they need to stick their asses in their chairs to watch some paid NPC give a scripted propaganda speech, or else they're completely ignorant of all the world's goings-ons.

I realized as an edgy teen that most of the news was useless shit that didn't impact me. As an edgy adult, I still find that to be true. The local weather can be found online in about 10 seconds. Nothing else is worth knowing. I find out about news more by seeing the various stories that the mass media lie about.

99% of the shit on facefuck is completely worthless and 99% of the news is worthless too.

I do like Twitter though, because it's become so toxic and filled with checkmark nazis that we can easily find out what gay ops they're planning.

I don't believe it. Whenever they want to take a non normy down it's always kidz shit. Remember when that guy was arrested the day before his 3D printed guns were set to be released?

I don't know if I'd entirely agree with that analogy. I mean, cable news definitely programs you but it doesn't take anything from you, except your time. Whereas social media not only programs you but takes enough personally identifiable information from you to create a dossier of the kind the FBI or CIA would take months, if not years to compile. People give this stuff willingly because they're fucking stupid and it's hip and trendy to do so.

Social media is such a new development that I'm not entirely sure there is a proper boomer analogue. You're more likely to find analogues in Brave New World or Nineteen Eighty-Four, you know the books that millennials are too dumb and illiterate to read.
