You've nailed it there mate.
I went into town the other week with my boys, I thought we were going to have to run the gauntlet through piccadilly gardens, stepping over crack heads and watching drunks fighting, but was pleasantly surprised to see people having picnics on the grass, there were children playing, a band was playing on some raised decking and people were eating street food and the sun was shining.
I went to Ireland, and from social media, you see a country over-run with immigrants and beggars. People protesting, makeshift tent encampments. I saw nothing of the sort. The same Ireland I have seen all my life.
You see Trump on the news and think that USA is now some sort of basket case, where everyone is racist, fascist, sexist and homophobic, and the billionaires have brainwashed everyone like some sort of second coming of the third Reich, but then I speak to my mate out in Florida and he is out fishing on his boat and having BBQ's with his neighbours and they laugh about the ridiculousness of Trump, just like we do.
I think everybody needs to view social media through the prism of the person filming, and what message that they want to portray, because quite often, these are people with an agenda. And if everyone believes what they view on Facebook, then we will end up with a society of people who are riddled with conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxers, chem trail wierdos and people who are too scared to go outside and see anything for themselves.
