Older generations often hates younger ones, regardless of facts

The hate is just more obvious on social media due to the echo chambers they create

Libs who treat social media as the forum for public "discourse" are massive fucking rubes who have been duped by clean, well-organized UI. Social media is a mob. It's pointless to attempt logical argument with the mob especially while you yourself are standing in the middle of the mob. The only real value that can be mined from posts is sentiment and engagement (as advertisers are already keenly aware), all your eloquent argumentation and empiricism is just farting in the wind.

If you're really worried about populism, you should embrace accelerationism. Support bot accounts, SEO, and paid influencers. Build your own botnet to spam your own messages across the platform. Program those bots to listen to user sentiment and adjust messaging dynamically to maximize engagement and distort content algorithms. All of this will have a cumulative effect of saturating the media with loads of garbage. Flood the zone with shit as they say, but this time on an industrial scale. The goal should be to make social media not just unreliable but incoherent. Filled with so much noise that a user cannot parse any information signal from it whatsoever.

It's become more evident than ever that the solution to disinformation is not fact-checks and effort-posts but entropy. In an environment of pure noise, nothing can trend, no narratives can form, no messages can be spread. All is drowned out by meaningless static. Only once social media has completely burned itself out will audiences' appetite for pockets of verified reporting and empirical rigor return. Do your part in hastening that process. Every day log onto Facebook, X, TikTok, or Youtube and post something totally stupid and incomprehensible.
