We have a far too narrow view of what constitutes social media.
Every medium is a social one if you think about it and every social medium is political.
The medium has and always will be the message and when you get to the core you understand the message is simply the audience.
Do you think "primitive" civilizations compared to ours didn't have social media before the advent of the tweet?
They were operating on levels we haven't even begun to understand in our foolish pride.
We're as primitive as we were at the invention of electric light and our technological advancements have outpaced our morality. We're just amplifying the hysteria and confusion with our automated algorithms and always-on engagement and now every poor schmuck has a voice where once it was limited to the elites. You should be grateful that Twitter has democratized the inane blatherings of the proletariat to drown out the voices of so called authority.
