It feels like social media has brought such a different aspect to it, because in wars, past, you know, you only got updates from the mass media and the news, and now anybody can just post on twitter, post on tiktok, post on instagram, like here s what s happening, and it just feels so much closer.
Scrolling through TikTok, Preston Moore stumbled upon live videos of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it hit him differently. Unlike traditional news outlets, social media provided a raw, human glimpse into the lives of those affected. In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', Moore reflects on how seeing real-time updates from ordinary people makes the conflict feel more personal and emotional, especially as an older individual with a family.
This shift in perspective leads to a broader discussion about the power and pitfalls of social media in shaping our understanding of global events. Moore and his co-host explore how platforms like Twitter and Instagram allow for a more intimate view of conflicts but also warn about the emotional toll of constant exposure to such content. They delve into the idea that while social media can foster empathy and inspire action, it can also be overwhelming.
The conversation then shifts to the importance of sharing personal stories. The hosts stress that being open about our struggles can help break down stigmas around mental health and addiction, making support more accessible. By fostering a culture of vulnerability, we can create a more compassionate and connected world. This episode is a poignant reminder of the double-edged sword that is social media and the power of shared experiences in building empathy and understanding.
