As I read through Twitter comments, I get angry. Not just because this particular situation is a tragic situation that hits very close to home, but because the way our global community communicates now is increasingly concerning.
It’s nothing for an individual to throw out damnifying statements from a place of sound ignorance. They’ll make their hot take, try to capitalize on a trending topic for some small amount of gratification and move on.
What I think about most is, is it possible to actively type these types of things and not feel them in some way? Is it possible to completely detach how you feel from what you type? Are people really willing to judge and criticize the most tragic and sensitive of scenarios with absolute definitiveness with zero regard for the truth?
Social media has undoubtedly changed the way individuals communicate and process information. When does that cross over to face to face communication? Has it already?
Pretty concerning to see such a lack of depth and compassion on such a grand scale.
