From a young age, I remember my parents trying to teach me civility when communicating with others, especially those who were older than me, primarily out of respect.
Back then, our communications were mainly verbal face to face, or via a letter, post card or on the telephone. Today, we use cell phones, text messages, video chats, emails, and social media posts, along with short vid clips of one thing or another.
Most of the time our communications is NOT FACE TO FACE, it is written anonymously and we do not have any idea if we are talking with a male, female, adult, child, or some kind of programmed bot.
The communications we deal with today is rude, insulting, filled with profanities and is the farthest from civility that one can imagine. Instead of communicating with words, we communicate with memes. These memes are designed by use or are secured off the internet.
Most of the time, I would suspect about 95-99% of the time these memes are inaccurate, misleading, slanderous, and intentional lies, specifically designed to inappropriately influence the minds of people.
It is a war of who has the best propaganda with truth and honesty being completely irrelevant.
