Everyone over 40: "Yup, social media has really fucked those kids' brains up"

I have seen so many 50+ year olds that waste several hours a day doomscrolling Facebook say this unironically.

Whereas the reality is that things are so fucked because these idiots get their news from Facebook. The Trump administration admitted to making a mistake deporting Kilmer Garcia - they’ll never find out because they’re too busy sharing OAN articles about that trans women they bullied out of fencing.

Social media was a mistake. User age has nothing to do with it.

I am well over 40 and I agree with OP. Then again, I didn't give up my empathy at the door to adulthood.

Judging by the typical Facebookfeed, I’d strongly argue the opposite.
