…you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

Ok, maybe scum and villainy isn’t completely accurate when describing the masses who use it. A more wretched hive of dumb and inanity? This has got to be closer.

Anyway, I used to post on Internet forums back in the day. I witnessed and was part of a flame war or two. However, I grew tired of the continual attacks and stupidity and completely over the top trolling. So I left. I decided that I didn’t need that kind of negativity in my life. There is enough in the world already without me going and actually searching it out.

And now, years later, my Facebook news feed is pretty much the same thing. Idiotic flame wars, partisan political memes, inflammatory pseudo-journalism and pure assholery. That’s all I see now.

I’ve gone to the extent of unfollowing the attention whores who post non-stop selfies, the pushers who want to use your Facebook as a platform and your friendship as a springboard to sell you shit, the dickheads who just want to troll everyone politically… I’ve tried. And failed.

I have almost reached my negativity saturation point where I am going to end up pulling the plug on this social media outlet and walk away. It’s coming soon.
