Don't you dare to have opinions that don't align with mainstream thinking here.

That's the fault of capitalism

It's even worse than that.
With social media, no one ever really ever gets to know anyone (in general; there are obviously exceptions). We call the topic-based groups here "communities" but they're anything but. People just read your comments in a vacuum, put on their judge's robe, make snap decisions (often taking you completely out of context or putting words in your mouth), and start throwing labels/accusations around. Then the bandwagon effect kicks in, the keyboard warrior lynch mob shows up, and fuck you, I guess?

Same as it ever was.
The real question is, what about that bothers you?

I've never been enamored with social media in general (this is my last vestige of it), so it doesn't bother me much; like you said, 'Same as it ever was'. The only thing that does is seeing that kind of behavior bleed over into real life.
