I wonder if there is some unpublished study that shows that exposing people to absurd posts like this actually radicalizes them or causes them to be more susceptible to being influenced.

Are we MK ultra-liting ourselves by looking at all of this stupidity? I don't know, but I think it's possible.

Social media was weaponized in the 2010s and used to spread harmful social contagion ever since. I wrote my thesis on social media as a vector for radicalisation and social contagion.

Thesis on social media as a vector for radicalisation and social contagion? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of social media? Localized entirely within your Lemmy user?

May we see it?

Aside from the fact that it'd be very easy to dox this guy if they did, I too would be interested to read it.

Hmm, yeah hadn't thought of that part.
