      If you only seriously realize this when using some random social media app, you’re the perfect example of how this could have happened. If not, then all the more so.

                Why are you acting like there’s no problem? There is one—and it’s a huge one!

                Edit: I’m talking to the same person, right? What’s that all about? A discussion needs arguments, not smurf accounts. Internet points aren’t a measure of anything. GTFO!

          Then maybe you should hold back on making sarcastic comments about things you know nothing about.

          Aside from the fact that mainstream social media apps are being misused by billionaires for their own purposes, that’s the biggest problem here: people who get in the way of a meaningful discussion because they feel the need to post something they find funny.

          This isn’t a topic where jokes are appropriate. You may not grasp the consequences, but it’s exactly as I say: Hundreds of thousands of people are dying because of this.

          And yet: You think this is a joke. That’s disgusting, nothing more.

              It really couldn’t be more obvious that I’m not from the US.

              Please spare me that, because nobody reads that far on social media anyway. So you’re basically talking just to me right now, and I don’t get at all what you’re getting at with your slogans.

              Seriously, don’t bother. Just don’t reply if you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute.

              Edit: Go easy on the downvotes, too—smurf accounts don’t make your life any better; in fact, they make it pretty pathetic—even more pathetic than it already is, apparently.

              To put it bluntly: The fact that you’re resorting to these measures proves my previous statement correct.
