There’s no question, at this point, that social media was a bad idea that has done irreparable damage to society. For that reason, a few months back, I deleted all my Facebook and Instagram accounts. I haven’t looked back since.

Even so, I am still very much committed to promoting garbage.

Don’t Call Me Ignorant; I Know I’m a Dick

Just look at the way I use semicolons. That should tell you everything you need to know about what kind of guy I am. That, and noting far too often that, “I digress.” And yet, I digress.

People were spreading garbage ideas to promote their special interests long before Facebook came around, and that’s what I intend to do. In other words: old school.

You can get a lot done just by identifying a target demographic — in this case, emotionally fragile white males like myself — and then feeding them stuff they want to hear. Hell, it worked on me. Still does!

So yeah, I quit Facebook. And yeah, that might mean I don’t consume quite as much garbage. But if you get a look at — or a whiff of — what’s coming out, nothing much has changed.
