Social media is all emotional manipulation all the time. Are you capable of thinking of the Gaza war in rational terms or only in emotional terms? Why is it you can only think of it as an emotional issue?

The social media algorithms send you a constant stream of content that keeps you emotional all the time. They aren't trying to inform you of anything, they want to keep you emotional so you'll keep on doomscrolling so they can keep on showing you ads.

You'll never know what's happening in a conflict on the other side of the world. You'll only get curated emotional content. That doesn't result in any kind of understanding.

Constantly consuming this kind of content will turn you into a hateful person. The tech bros don't care, as long as you keep consuming, they keep making money.
