Has social media made the UK more right wing?

[hilts]

Social media is more polarising, and the right just seem more adept at leveraging the hatred that flows from such polarisation. They don't want a debate so the two baying left v right mobs around any socio-political argument suits the right just fine
The left are just a bit crap after it and just tend to pay each other on the back and shut out noise they don't like.

I was about to be brainwashed by an extreme left wing socialite but he had six diversity meetings to attend to. By the time he came back I had fucked off for a kebab.

Quite. I don’t know his name at all, but that’s down there with the lowest of the low.

Yes.

It's made people with 'fringe' (being generous with that word) views feel like their view is normal.

Then their view is making an impression on kids and young adults still developing. What's the minimum age for social media, 13? Way too young and not regulated well enough by parents.

The parents are just as bad, if not worse, than the kids in my experience! Completely agree though.

yes is the answer

That is repulsive and unfortunately probably not illegal
I know there were fake Vote Conservative Jimmy Savile ads a few years ago but this is another level of vile

Jammy twat I had to look up help the aged for a relative this week and now my Facebook is full of ..... Well you can imagine:-(

Social media definitely makes fringe views that I don't agree with more of a problem. With views and opinions that match my own it seems absolutely fine :-)

 

[oakiecokie]

Not really. Its made cunts even bigger cunts than they already are.

I know what / who has made UK more RW, firstly Rupert Murdoch, & 2ndly Putin’s stooges ( Cambridge Analytica, Farage etc) & his bot farms pumping out disinformation 24/7 for the past decade.
Now we have Zuckerberg cosying up to Trump at his inauguration, Musk doing untold damage with X, & with Doge. Thankfully we’ve seen a fightback against this rise in fascism after the shitshow in the US with Trump
