This blog post is a followup of social networks services are boring now
while I was listening at the newscast, I noticed how the different parties take the same news and twist it.
Twitter is my main SNS (social network service), and we all know it's a huge political shout-fest, both if you look at USA and Italy political discussions.
Until now, most of the time I wrote something to post, then self-censored myself by deleting what I have produced in 5-10 minutes. yeah, I tried to weight my words, to post something interesting, now I just don't care. I just write over here, putting one word after another in a stream of consciousness, written in itaenglish. If you want to comment or notice some grammatical horror, send me an email, I've listed it on main page.
I wonder if my "leaving SNSes for a while" is a result of
self-censoring, a lack of debating skills, or just not bothering with
debating at all. I don't want to discuss, after a full day of work, and
some more when I edit some articles for the technical blog or when I
check new furniture for the house I'm fixing. I'm too tired. And yet, I
see political ads every fucking where, and lots of angry comments from
nazis people who shout very loudly that refugees that should
be shot on-sight and they can't find low-skill jobs because someone who
does not even speak the local language (read: refugees) "steals" them
from OG native workers.
See? I applied an easy-way-out label to a real problem (low-skilled workers scared for their future, and immigration). The political debate on SNSes is more a shout-fest and more about throwing slogans around than really discussing how to fix real issues.
I don't want to be part of the outrage machine. I don't want to be milked.
