#7: "Please explain to me why Facebook is so powerful."

I don't use Facebook.

The power of Facebook is that it caters to the overwhelming number of low information voters, gossips, busybodies, and airheads in the world.

Imagine a high school clique on steroids and growth hormones. My guess is that most Facebook users are airhead women who exchange cat pictures with their friends. Nothing wrong with that of course. Whatever floats your boat.

But when these people are manipulated by Soros, it is a formidable reservoir of "approved and acceptable" public opinion. In social settings no one wants to be perceived as a bigot, so baloney like "Black Lives Matter", "Hands Up Don't Shoot", "Trump Is Racist" is readily adopted through shaming and peer pressure. Groupthink is what Facebook is good at.

nope, dude, you are wrong. The power of Facebook is that millions of people start looking for others by name on Facebook, find them, connect with them and then, if its a business, find their contact information,website and location with it

‘My guess is that most Facebook users are airhead women who exchange cat pictures with their friends.’

exactly so, though I must admit to being a tabbyphile, and like all pictures of cats...but yes, fuzzythinking women dominate FB, and are extremely vocal and jugdgmental, leading to what I call ‘Facebook nation’, where an echo chamber of ‘correct thought’ predominates, and hatreds and contentions are fostered where they don’t need to be...

You brag about not using FB but in the next breath you provide a detailed, albeit your own description. That would be indicative of someone who:

1. Has no idea what he's talking about.

2. Someone who lies about what he does.

Which are you?

Young people have left Facebook. Facebook is now where old people friend other old people and post things they think are funny or to let everyone know that another classmate has died.
