S-a instaurat o vina colectiva – asa cum se instaureaza toate, fara sa le simti prezenta decat atunci cand dau pe dinafara – a statului pe Facebook. Si atunci, in contrapondere, auzi tot felul de explicatii pe care nu le-a cerut nimeni: este esential pentru munca mea, tin legatura cu prietenii, blablaetc.
Pentru ca internetul este, totusi, un loc minunat – cu exceptia cazurilor cand este un loc oribil; cercetatorii nu au stabilit, inca, foarte clar, daca raiul lumineaza mai puternic ca iadul – aceste explicatii inutile au luat viata si s-au tranformat in hashtagul #IStillFacebookBecause. Tweet-urile de acolo arata ca omenirea mai are o sansa.
Cateva delicatese existentiale:

#IStillFacebookBecause there is no better use of time than reading the thoughts of some jackass from high school about Syrian refugees.
Peter J. Radomski @PeterStandUp:
#IStillFacebookBecause how else can you keep up to date about people that don't matter in your life?
Josh Walker @josh_walker1:
#IStillFacebookBecause I need to know in advance which of my friends to never talk politics with
Kabir Iyengar @kabiriyengar:
#IStillFacebookBecause I like to know what uninformed people think about issues that were relevant 2 days ago.

#IStillFacebookBecause I like to check in and see what leftists and cat ladies think from time to time.
