Yesterday on Facebook I got drawn into it again.
I commented that when I read a post from someone who supports Trump, I go to
their profile and there rarely is any mention of education. That's all I said,
an objective observation, no more no less. But I was soon bombarded with
comments from people who said they don’t need education, it only takes common
sense to see Donald Trump is greatest president ever. I almost closed out my FB
account thinking, Aarrgh the IQ average here has gotten way too low.
Then at 2 AM or so, a massive lightning bolt
blew out everything near me, internet phone electricity, and for 2 hours I could
only get NPR on my little battery radio, our local station "from atop
Harvey's" just played canned music while lightning continued and the town
was in the dark. As soon as the lights came on and the light on the modem
stopped blinking, I was on Facebook to see if others knew anything about the fires
and storms nearby.
So, Facebook serves a purpose, I just have to
stop wasting time in conversations with people who might not even really be people.
I mean, there seems to be a LOT of stupid people jumping in on my comments here
lately, highlighting my name so I see they've commented at me within seconds,
then I read it and it's another Fox News mesmerized brainwashed troll repeating
sound bytes from the right. Are there really that many people who support Trump,
or are there so many fake trolls on line repeating right wing messages that it
makes me feel like they're all around me, when they're not.
That could be it. In St.
Petersburg, Russia, there's ten guys on laptops in cubicles in the GRU offices, signed
on to Facebook with ten different accounts each, and they spend all day doing searches
for key words and as soon as you use one of them, they're in your life
commenting stupid stuff. It makes me
feel like they're everywhere, they outnumber the humans who still have brains, when
they are probably not even real
