I recently installed a dual boot system with ubuntu, which was taking less space than expected where as on Windows, my C drive would always fill up even without updates so I decided to see what is up using the spacesniffer tool and oh boy, the bloat here had me rolling on the floor.
Since the increasing rise of social media in the pandemic, there have been a number of individuals on facebook and youtube presenting themselves as self proclaimed geniuses (some even have messiah complex).
These individuals spread negativity and unverified claims as truth when they are just farming for views and loyalty through fear mongering. They built their audiences on the foundation of Hate, Fear, and Anger, the 3 things that block the Brain's Prefrontal Cortex or Critical Thinking and Analysis.
It is baffling that the internet space which used to act as hub for us young gen z and millennials to escape from the IRL dystopian nature of our country, and now, those same blood sucking mosquitos have found their place in social media. then they have the audacity to call it "freedom of speech". They primarily target political, cultural and social circles with weak minded individuals.
There is even a religious cult group, that if you criticize them or debunk them, they will mass flag your account instead of having a nuanced discussion. The same blasphemy rhetoric that we have faced for generations is now on the internet thanks to these cavemen bozos. No citizen or politician has the right to be a moral police of someone.
My grandfather used to be a critical thinker but after using facebook in recent years, their minds have been brainwashed with far right rhetoric. He cursed at a 17 year old child that was murdered in cold blood because she "existed" on the internet. I fear if this continues without government intervention or awareness, these man-children could lead the country to more ignorance and civil unrest which could be a disaster for all of us.
A great friend once told me,
"Good times create weak people, weak people create bad times, bad times create strong people, and strong people create good times."
I am suppose to recreate the layout of image 1, image 2 is my work but some of the links are red and I cannot seem to fix.
