Is social media the most non-lethal political tool ever?

By and large, society has remained relatively the same, ie, social classes, until social media provided a microscope into everyone's lives without having to read about it in a magazine, which allowed people to compare themselves to others and left a chance to capitalize on people's jealousy. Give em credit, the left did a great job of weaponizing social media to their advantage, but are they losing ground now with new outlets services and the Elon Musk power play?

They used it to organize lethal riots during the 2020 summer of love so I would say social media can actually be a deadly political tool

Cell phones and social media were purposefully created for shaping sociatal thinking and allowing mass control of information, as was the Tele-vision that "tells" you what to think through its "programming". None of this was in our best interest.

Social media is a lot of things, but non-lethal is not one of them. From manipulating and brainwashing susceptible minds, to censoring free speech, to driving people to suicide due to bullying and “cancelling”, it is one of our worst inventions. Ever.

It is lethal. Very lethal.
