People always say that what you see and read online in the comments, tweets or posts are not representative of people- or of the average person.
I disagree with that. What we see online IS representative of what people truly think and feel. Bc they are behind a screen and keyboard, people are freer to say what really is in their minds rather than hiding it, bc in person they would get punched in the face for saying such horrible and heinous things. But online, they can without much repercussions.
Society, especially American society, is where we are today precisely BECAUSE we’ve ignored all the horrendous things and brushing it aside as “oh it’s just a TINY portion of ppl who are terrible” as opposed to the whole apple cart that’s rotten.
