You just said it right there. It’s the speed of social media that does this.

Call me crazy, but haven’t we seen social media being manipulated (bots) to push narratives?

These accusations or problems crop up fairly quick and then the media gets on it and then whoever/whatever is destroyed.

If social media can be manipulated to swing stock markets or elections, then isn’t it possible it can swing to push narratives or keep us constantly fighting ourselves?
