Re;Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath? OP rocks. Do I get to be the first to point out how FB stock values since going public have fallen faster than Kim Kardashian's massive plus-sized g-string? "The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society — and he may suffer so much from the incapacity to communicate that it is he who may become psychotic"..Erich Fromm |

Quoting: A girl. 11311369 The title: Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath? Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is 'suspicious' First notice the diction. "Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath?" The term "psychopath" evokes an instant, strong reaction in the mind of the reader. The connotations associated with "psychopath" evoke mental images of chainsaw massacres and Christian Bale trying to feed a cat into an ATM. Important to note here is the interrogative nature of the statement. Is it a sign<question mark>. Can pigs fly? The statement asserts nothing, but it places an Inception-esque seed in the reader's mind. Continuing, "Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is 'suspicious." "Some" is a textbook weasel word that means approximately jack shit. Note the quotation around the word "suspicious." Try to notice the perceptual difference between the two phrases: Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is suspicious Some employers and psychologists say staying away from social media is 'suspicious' If you noticed a difference between the two, you're not alone. The quotations are placed to deliberately make the reader stop and think about the connotations of that particular word. What else is 'suspicious?' Child molesters in long dark trench-coats? Burglars creeping in your windows? Remember, propaganda is the art of evoking mental images to sway one's perception. On to the article: Facebook has become such a pervasive force in modern society that increasing numbers of employers, and even some psychologists, believe people who aren't on social networking sites are 'suspicious.' The article sets out to immediately assert that facebook is "such a pervasive force in modern society" that it would almost be foolish not to have one. This is known as argumentum ad populum, or more commonly "bandwagon fallacy." Just ignore the fact that over six billion people (over 85% of Earth's population) do not have facebook accounts. The paragraph follows up with more weasel words and quotation bullshit. The German magazine Der Taggspiegel went so far as to point out that accused theater shooter James Holmes and Norwegian mass murder Anders Behring Breivik have common ground in their lack of Facebook profiles. Here we have what can be called the "primary source" of the article. Conveniently sourced in German to an English-speaking audience so that only experienced translators could possibly check the validity of the source. Additionally, the claims can be proven patently false with a simple Google search. That's just shitty pseudo-journalism. On a more tangible level, Forbes.com reports that human resources departments across the country are becoming more wary of young job candidates who don't use the site. Here, DailyMail references a Forbes article that was written by the same Facebook marketing shills that paid for the DailyMail article.

One of the woman found an old friend on facebook. At least, she thought it was her old friend.

Re;Is not joining Facebook a sign you're a psychopath? FB is evil, worse than google. Now employers and others will expect, even demand people have a FB account, partly to make their job of data mining easier, and partly because it gives them greater control over the individual. I'll tell you what though: All these social media sites, especially FB, are female driven. Guys follow the female lead and set up accounts exactly because chicks do it and are obsessed with it. Any attempt to control the excesses and negative influences and power these sites like FB have will have to take into account their primarily female obsession. |
