90s: stay anonymous, be careful with strangers, don’t give up any more info than you have to. The internet can be a dangerous place. Also, supervise your kids and have them ask permission to go online.

2010s-2020s: livestream your life 24/7, use real names and emails everywhere when signing up for bullshit, hand your kid a phone and let them go buck wild as well.

How did we stray like this?

It’s also ironic that the same generation of parents telling us to be careful online and “don’t believe everything you see on TV” are the same ones that get their news from grifter pundits and divisive facebook memes generated by Russian bot farms.

It’s remarkable isn’t it? Now we’re the ones telling our parents to turn off the TV and get off the internet or it’ll rot their brains.

The funny thing is that you probably think you get news legitimately.

But the truth is that it’s all propaganda. The only difference between CNN and Fox, or reddit/Twitter/Facebook, is the angle.

But it’s all bullshit.

‘News’ doesn’t exist anymore, instead of just giving the facts, every article tries to tell you what you should think.

Oh, is this the fabled “bOtH sIdEs” argument?

It is decidedly proven that Fox N*ws is much less factual than any other source of news.

Even they themselves said in court that Fox N*ws is an opinion piece and no reasonable viewer would take them seriously.

So don’t compare actual news groups to something like Fox N*ws. They shouldn’t even be allowed to have the word “news” in their name.

Boomers love to give advice and they hate to follow it—even their own!

I miss the 90’s, a better time for sure.

Feels quite dystopian at the moment.
