Stop blaming social media for decay of society.

It is caused by literally everything but social media.

I'm serious. If I turn off my phone, and close the door behind my back, I have literally nowhere to go to talk to people. That's the fucking issue, not the fact, that I can ocasionally talk to people online.

@MK2boogaloo
Sure, but the problem for me isn't who's responsible, but what should be the first step in re-building process.

@LukeAlmighty getting rid of them would be a good step. Tbf social media is really bad if you spend most of you're time in that. If you can't even last a day without using it then you're NGMI.
@LukeAlmighty I'm not joking, social media is one of the cause for societal decay. What you gotta do is find someone and try your best to talk with them more. Can you talk to someone without pulling your phone out once?

@MK2boogaloo
So, we're back on "why don't homeless buy a house" level of discorse again.

@LukeAlmighty a homeless can't buy a house because he's broke, what made you can't talk to people irl?
@LukeAlmighty >If I turn off my phone, and close the door behind my back, I have literally nowhere to go to talk to people. That's the fucking issue, not the fact, that I can ocasionally talk to people online.

Find someone nigga, there must be at least one guy in your town or city that can talk to you. Go to your local church and talk with the usual churchgoers. How about some other places like local market, gym, your workplace etc. Society is deteriorating really hard right now but I don't think it's gotten to the point where you don't have any places to talk to people.

@MK2boogaloo
Well, it did. And that is my complain. If you want to rebuild the society, the logical first step seems to be a way to allow people relax and meet up in a safe, yet engaging way.

This role is not fufilled by creepy bars nor by city wide social events. Not to mention, that even these events are getting stumped on hard lately by boomers, who don't see their importance. (the assholes banned new year fireworks in here, because "muh chemicals")

Recently, I noticed, that Con does seem to serve this role quite well. Amazingly well actually, but I wonder, how hard would it be to recreate this on much more local and year wide way. (especially one, that could be re-created on mass.)

@LukeAlmighty mhm I think that building stuff organically is the solution. Start with something simple like having a new year party in the town square, making a car free day every sunday so more people could walk on the street, organizing a local festival once every 3 month to commemorate a local event, having church to be mandatory, etc.

A healthy town should have one public event once every month. Not to mention there should be a public park for people to do their activities.

@MK2boogaloo
That is the place, where technology out-run the culture.

Parks are..... boring.

And not welcoming either. And they are definitelly not the place I want to go to be alone. Obviously, city run events do sound nice, but here is the question again. What kind of event could create this kind of relaxing environment.

How old are you btw?

@LukeAlmighty they are not welcoming because of bad people using that place. I'm sure parks are good when the people are kind.

>What kind of event could create this kind of relaxing environment.

Church related event usually is relaxing enough, you can strike a conversation with anyone you want to. Something like local festival would be nice as well, like the summer thing the Japs usually do.

>How old are you btw?

Old enough to impregnate your mom.
@MK2boogaloo @LukeAlmighty Just play classical music over the park speaker. That has been proven to repel niggers
@Groomschild @MK2boogaloo @LukeAlmighty Actually why don't stores play classical music. It's public domain and sounds better than the same pop music on loop.
@LodedDiaper @MK2boogaloo @LukeAlmighty because wiggers and mulatto spics are also repelled by classical music and who going to stock your shelves in that case
@Groomschild @MK2boogaloo @LukeAlmighty I guess that makes sense to some extent. But honestly classical music helps filter out Cholos from Latinos. Then again part Mexican so that probably wouldn't matter to you.
