They go after the easy targets first.

The Fediverse has its own flavors of toxicity, even without venture capital, ads, and predatory engagement optimization.

OP is a veteran legionnaire though, so he has sword training.

The current generation of young people is the opposite of rebellious.

The dominance of social media and total financial exploitation ruined the internet and now is damaging society at large. It‘s now a machine that amplifies anxiety, hate, and addiction.

Few people are consistent in their worldview and actions.

Had a crunchy hippie lecture me about the danger of the covid vaccine, because you don’t know what’s in it. This was at a house party during covid, where she smoked cigarettes, snorted ketamine, MDMA, and mephedrone.

Conservatives complain about biased reporting by the BBC constantly. It isn’t perfect, but they are doing an okay job mostly.

Men are far more susceptible to be victims of violence, addiction, suicide, incarceration, mental illness, loneliness etc. already.

My Bosch vacuum cleaner is 11 years old and works great. The only problem it has is weaker cable retraction. My Bosch washing machine is 7 years old and works fine.

So from personal experience, I think this is acceptable.

Landline phones were mostly plastic and took lots of abuse for years just fine.
