Social media and individualism result in increased isolation, as it tears apart the social fabric of our societies. For many there is not much interaction beyond the family circle. Even neighbours are just strangers. This ultimately will undoubtedly lead to major disruptions and social unrest. How do we go about breaking that cycle and build real communities again?
I don’t agree that it will cause social unrest or that it tears apart the social fabric of our society. I don’t see a reason to discount interactions of people on the internet, or why internet communities are any less real than in-person communities (even if they have some differences).
