Every article about how "social media is broken" are just avoiding the obvious painful truth: Humanity is broken.
I mean you're not wrong. But here we are. If you've ever tried to convince anyone of... well anything that conflicts with their views, you're probably well aware that there's no changing peoples' minds.
So I guess my honest question is... what now?
What we've always done. Soldier on fighting the good fight hoping reasonable minds prevail. And knowing that often they won't.
Wish I had a solution.
