    The current events are nothing new - social media is.

      You are making my point. This isnt new. Social media is, but this situation isn’t. So social media didnt create the problem.

      Pronounce it, maybe. But didn’t create it.

        The point is that social media is a major contributor.

        No kidding these issues existed. “Newness” isn’t what’s up for debate.

        The fact that people are constantly talking and making everything about politics is the “problem” I’m talking about here and that is what I’m almost entirely blaming social media for. It’s not the world events I’m blaming social media for but the reaction people have to them.
