E-Social Wildlife – Rage accross Facebook
That’s still quite funny. One of my FB friends joined the group created for one reason: to yell about closing another Facebook group named clearly: “I hate Poland”.
First – the closure – group yells about rasism and anti-Polish behaviors. Well, I checked that group and I didn’t find much of racism against Polish people, maybe beside some utter-idiots (many Polish) who live online by principle – write first, consider thinking next. It’s most of all blaming and highlighting cons of living in Poland.
Group was initiated by some Norwegian medicine student who picked up Polish city Poznan for studies. Some arguments he put on the table are quite idiotic, some are natural consequence of still developing country just 20 years after beating communism, still having infrastructure issues, broken mentality and other things we all Poles know very well. Some are just his personal bad lucks.. (just like I’d complain on US being screwed just because less and less stores accept American Express these days).
So what… still all that bullshit just sounds like frustration, cry-out and bad luck of a single person who picked up a place for studies which missed his overall expectations. Can’t it happen everywhere? It can.. so what’s unique in this one?
FB as massively adopted social networking spot triggers interesting behaviors. A person who says that is pissed-off at a whole country instead of pissing at it, leaving the country, having better memories elsewhere comes back occasionally to that country to point out new bad experiences. Truman Show of modern Internet, it’s so easy nowadays to join the community and say “Welcome to Web 2.0 asshole, by the way I hate you”.
There is other group then, who responds and here we go with virtual war over principles.. Some would say it’s democratic.. but as it doesn’t really change anything isn’t it just an online garbage who shouldn’t really care about? Estimates say that we right now utilize abstract amount of data over Internet.. most of that is for single use.. much is just the same garbage as one mentioned..
Speaking of modern Internet culture, I’m worried what dumbasses future will bring us.
