If someone doesn’t understand your silence, they probably won’t understand your words. Someone said that, can’t remember their name. It’s true.

Silence can mean a lot of things. Maybe you’re thinking. Contemplating. Weighing your options. Let’s take it back to thinking. Back in the good ol’ days, when a thought came to your mind it stayed in your head for the most part. You may put action to your thoughts, but for the most part it’s between your ears. Of course you’ll come across the occasional individual with diarrhea of the mouth, but they’re outliers. Everyone contemplates before opening their mouths.

Oh, but no more. These apps are full of people’s thoughts being spewed for others to see. This can be a good thing but let’s be real, it’s not. There are no filters. Broadcasting foul, idiotic, degenerate and sometimes evil thoughts/misinformation are galvanizing a specific portion of society. It brings rise to deviance. Those that were considered “outsiders” for their entire lives can finally be a part of a group. Finally. And it’s so easy to notice.

Congrats! You’re a radical. It’s not a surprise that txrrorxst organization recruiting has skyrocketed since these apps have begun flourishing. I spelled it that way on purpose. You can try to control it, but good luck with that. Once money is involved, all bets are off.

So shut up and be aware of what you’re consuming. Nothing wrong with a little silence.
