Schmuckerberg is so full of himself. What has he accomplished? He became a billionaire catering to the lowest common denominator? He happened to be in the right place at the right time?
He (and others) think he is somehow heroic, I don’t get it! I deactivated my FB account ten years ago, I can’t imagine why anybody uses it!
You know Zuck, we still have Churches and Little League, except for some San Fran atheists who have leather bars and S&M to bring the community together.
Zuckerberg has a point, albeit in the opposite way.
No accident that these high-tech companies developed in a rapidly secularizing society. They are taking the place of family, church, community. Kids are worshipping at the altar of Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. These companies have created insular, self-contained mini-cities where workers don’t even have to leave to shop, eat, even do laundry.
This is not a good thing. Social media, while useful for community news & events, is no substitute for human relationships or lifecycle events. Many of these millennials are going to find out the hard way, when they end up alone in a studio apartment with a laptop, or phoning on an app for take-out.
He stole the idea!

Harvard scientist Robert Putnam found that diversity hurts civic life, reduces social trust, pushes tribalism / grouping when the minorities are large enough to form their own enclaves.
In short, liberals importing people from other cultures in large enough numbers for them to “clump” HURTS engagement.
The oldest of political realities is that people are most tolerant of those who differ from themselves when they live among those who do not differ, and when they do not fear having alien ways pressed upon them. This recognition is what enabled history’s great ecumenical empires to survive in peace.
Latter is a quote from: Libs may learn that cities supporting school prayer or are anti-abortion could also become ‘sanctuaries’
