I Quit Social Media

These are the things I’m sick of hearing about

Trans rights

Islam

Female supremacy 

fake ‘far right’ label 

Palestine

Ukraine 

Trump is Hitler  (he’s not)

None of those things have anything to do with me. None of those are things I am interested in. Most of those are things where my own personal opinion is different than the opinion that’s being forced down my throat and I’m fed up of being accused and dehumanised if I speak up in disagreement against it.

I have recognised the ‘popular’ hyped up latest-issue culture on the Internet does not accurately reflect who I am, what I’m interested in, common sense, or my support network.

It’s all other people’s grievances. Not only is it all ofthe people’s grievances, it’s a pressure tank of hostility. The pressure to conform either that I agree with that grievance, which I do not on the principle I do not want to be full of grievance, or I disagree with the grievance, in which case whoever has got a grievance with it uses my disagreement as an excuse to identify me as the enemy and throw hate at me.

All that comes from other peoples bullshit. It’s not what I am bringing to the table. 

It’s exhausting dealing with other people’s problems, uninvited problems.

I have got caught up in the back-and-forth reposting on social media because it’s something to do to take my mind off the immediate and real concerns of my own life. 

I’ve had enough of that now. I’m at a point where I have to repeat what I’ve already said which can be summarise as; 

you need to use critical thinking (instead of emotional overreaction about some indoctrinated delusion which can be proved to be an indoctrinated delusion).

We apparently live in a world of stoicism versus histrionic personality disorder. 

I do not want to live in that world, it’s thrust on me every time I turn on a screen.

For my sanity, the only correct solution is to turn off the screen.
