Got sucked into a discussion about whether social media radicalizes people.

To the extent that this happens on the left, I think it's a good thing. We are facing massive, existential problems, and there is a lot of denial that is coming from the top. Powerful people want us complacent.

Climate change, rising fascism, wealth disparities... social media has made me more aware of these things, and I'm glad. If anything, we're not being radicalized enough.

@charliejane if a group of people communicating together and gaining a different understanding to the rest of the world is radicalizing… then radicalisation is the process by which physics moves forward, the process by which a writer’s room of comics put together a script for a comedy show, and so on. Bring it on.
