Social media is making things worse. I worry that education re logic is severely lacking and that people are not being taught how to think critically. If grievances are not addressed, violence will result-so says most studies. I give you the Patriots at the Boston massacre and the Boston tea party who revolted, mostly, over a tax... It can provoke good social outcomes IF the issues aren't otherwise addressed.
