Digital media such as social media, messenger groups or comment columns in online media have a predominantly negative influence on political processes. They can encourage populist movements, increase polarization and undermine trust in institutions.

Digital media adds pleasure and value to my life. Democracy adds nothing but a bunch of bullshit noise about the opinions of people who I don't care regarding things that I don't care about. And then after all that nonsense clowning the bureaucrats just do what they were going to do anyways. All those bullshit opinions, the whole dog and pony show are just to get fuckwits to pull a level for them during a popularity contest cultural celebration not unlike primitives dancing around a fire to the sound of drums praying for rain. So, to be direct, I prefer digital media over democracy because digital media is valuable and democracy isn't.
