Geopolitics

i asked this on insta (which is asking for trouble) and will ask here:

why is the oppressed/oppressor framework used so commonly these days and how is it helpful to advancing society?

under this framework, what happens when the oppressed is no longer oppressed? it must become the oppressor; there is no other option.

it’s popular bc it drives engagement and clicks on social media. very online people have retconned it into something more grassroots even though it’s literally algorithm-driven.

it’s not helpful to society: it’s helpful to social media platforms’ profits

yeah, i feel the same way and all my friends are limiting their social media usage too. it’s not healthy to be exposed to charged content like that.

i’m reading through The Chaos Machine rn, it covers the history of how social platforms have been playing god. highly recommend if you’re into that.

after posting this Q on other platforms, i realize i’m sick of the current internet and its social platforms. i get why everything has moved to group chats.

today, most assume a negative POV and original thought feels rare.

I’ve learned social platforms may not be best for learners right now. FC is the exception.
