"It's not likely to be a coincidence that the global shift away from democracy has tracked so closely with the advent of the Internet, the introduction of smart phones, and the widespread use of social media."
Barbara F Walter, How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them.

Exactly. Every idiot can promote their thoughts now.
...and the truly dangerous idiots can now find each other. Social media has a LOT to answer for.
A lot a lot.
Thankfully I resisted my friends & never joined either Facebook or Twitter.... Blogger will do me fine for now!
Oh, I did join Facebook because a lot of my friends moved around all the time. It was really nice at the beginning, almost as if you meet all your friends for a nice afternoon or evening. But it has all gone so political now, and I hardly ever go there. Just to post my list of latest books for my former book club members.
