My friends. Let me start by saying I really, truly like most of you. But, some of you are again reaching a point where almost everything you post, is either a politically motivated, or lecturing meme.

If I want memes, I will go to 4chan or 9gag.
If I want taken out of context quotes intended to make us hate each other and increase the divide, I will watch American News Channels.

Please, please understand that studies show again and again that if news, social media, or stories can make you angry, upset or depressed, you are more likely to respond.

Many of you are quite literally being gamed by modern AI to manipulate your emotions and turn you into good little useful idoits, generating clicks and ad revenue, and continuing the divide and conquer process.

If all you can do with your life, or at least choose to share with friends on Facebook, is post political memes I can find on the lowest of low-brow websites…. I really don’t see the purpose to be friends on Facebook.

For me Facebook is where I can share pieces of my life with old and separated friends, keep a loose contact with dear acquaintances e.t.c. I have no interest in checking to see the state of my friends lives, only to see them endlessly regurgitating
RIGHT BAD
LEFT BAD
MEN BAD
WOMEN BAD
ORANGE MAN BAD
BLUE STATES BAD
GUNS BAD
BANNING GUNS BAD
DON’T DO WHAT I LIKE, BAD
DON’T HAVE MY EXACT THOUGHT PROCESS, BAD

I make these posts painfully often, and continue to defriend and mute people because of it. I’m not on Facebook for bad news, unless it’s honest life news. I get all the bad news I need already. I’ve never once learned anything useful from a political Facebook meme. Not once. A conversation can change a life. Memes only serve as virtue signaling slacktivism.

Also, make sure you vote. That matters far more than all the memes in the world.
