I think social media was invented to cause revolutions
Idk, man. If you look at countries currently experiencing lots of public uprisings and revolutionary organizing, they seem to be the ones with some of the least prolific digital media. Myanmar, northern India, and rural Bolivia all have terrible wifi.
Folks in "modern" nations like South Korea and Dubai and the UK are increasingly these NEET hermits with no friends or romantic partners or sense of collective good will who just fixate on online phantasm celebrities. Occasionally, one of them pops off and tries to murder a politician. But that's not revolutionary conduct.
Seems like it's easier to divide people who arr using social media.
If they don't have social media, they might go make friends, and those friends might have the same problems, and might seek to solve them...
