    1/ This seems to have struck a chord so I want to elaborate on one aspect that I kept seeing repeatedly, to see if anyone else has seen the same thing. On FB, I've heard the phrase, "I have no problem with what Trump is doing," over and over. That line, almost verbatim.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/998609654979743744 …

    If I was being really honest, I'd have to admit I (partially) quit @facebook because it obliterated a really valuable white privilege: ignorance. Before fb, I sincerely didn't know how many of my not-close-but-not-distant friends were loudly racist or malignantly selfish or both.

        2/ I pressed one or two friends on this when I was still on fb and it ended in some variant of, "I'm doing fine, so are you." Translated: - "Why should I care?" - "Why do you care?"

        3/ That's where the developmentally-stunted concept of "virtue signaling" comes from. There is an inherent contradiction between some people's belief systems and the idea that it is possible to sincerely care about other people. It's malignant selfishness.

        4/ Society can't endure with that belief if it's widely held. And, it is widely held. And, facebook showed me it's widely held by people I know and thought were better than that.

        5/ Relationships blind you to people's flaws. You explain them away because your friends and family are part of you, so you need to defend them for your own emotional benefit.

        6/ But facebook creates a hostile Goldilocks zone of social clarity. It positions people close enough but not too far away so that they feel safe and often *compelled* to share ugly ass thoughts. On the same site as your Grandmother, people *celebrate* malignant selfishness.
