I’m not even an anti-internet person like I love the internet, I just get so frustrated with the passive way people have become accustomed to using it now. not actively seeking things out or engaging with communities, just turning their brain off & letting the algorithm feed them whatever it wants. & I can’t help but feel like that’s partially to blame for the current state of things (anti-“woke” backlash is easier to digest if you turn your brain off when online)
there are so many amazing things to do online… find recipes, look at your friends’ weird art, download PDFs, join a book club, learn a language or a new skill, look thru archives… so I just get frustrated that these things are being lost in favor of Consuming Content
rachel zegler is so much better than me because if i had to work with a literal war criminal who can’t act for shit and a movie that used cgi dwarves and had a poorly written script and then was blamed for the failure of the movie because i had the guts to say free palestine despite being the only saving grace of the film, i would 100% crash out
