Happinesstan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 It reminds me of when I was a kid. Videos came out and some parents didn't have a problem with letting their 11 year olds watch a video nasty, and some wouldn't entertain the idea. The ones with strict parents couldn't get involved in talks about the film but they weren't ostracised entirely, just a little uncool. I can empathise with the parents on social media, although I'd rather I didn't have to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Something struck me, when hearing that Marcus Rashford wrote a book to encourage young kids to read. I've long been a believer that the ego isn't the evil that it is painted as and this proves it. You need some ego to think people will learn to read just so they can read your book, but it is wholly justified. People will and he knows that. He doesn't just believe it, because it is true. The ego can lead to self destruction if you believe your own press, but as a guide and inspiration to the best you can be, it's not a bad thing to have. It's nice to see, not just Rashford, but the entire squad, demonstrating the latter more than the other. It's so refreshing after the 'golden generation' who put me off international football, i thought, for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all sounds nice and rosy if we imagine our governments wouldn't also target people critical of it with that information. I mean we _just_ had Trump and honestly half the internet would be locked up for threats against a foreign leader at this point Or imagine his administration getting to redefine what hate speech is and isn't. Hate isn't a problem exclusive to social media. Anonymity of speech online isn't a shield just for the worst of us.

Mattoon Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I've said it a hundred times, social media is an echo chamber of bad takes, partizan hacks and unfiltered diarrhea of written thought. For the most part I stay as clear as possible from it. Mostly, people are decent and want to be left alone without extreme ideologies forced on them from either side of the now monochrome political "spectrum". Social media has wrecked society by giving a voice to the most extreme and making your average Joe believe the world has gone to pot. Idiots are idiots and should be punished and not be able to hide behind anonymity. In the same breath it's foolish and naive to paint demographics/societies a certain way because of the actions of a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Idiots have always been here in society the difference is now the Internet is cheap and we all have smart phones and have free to join platforms like Instagram, twitter, FB etc that gives them a very big public voice to spout nonsense, it simply is a different world digitally from 20/30 years ago.

Abra Dubravka Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 At least Beckham won a Championships League, Premiership, Fa Cup, League Cup , Seria A, La Liga, MLS I bet his and Rashford’s upbringings were identical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think anyone that sends a racist message to a lad in the street, or a Premier League football is scum. Imagine that though, a body of Rashford hanging?? Beckham.. Worst he got was his mural written across Shit Fucking Bastard- not even anything racist ??
