While true, I think your statement is misleading. No one should get all their news from one source, but Facebook is particularly bad, and TikTok is many times worse than that again. Facebook will show you the misinformation of the highest bidder. TikTok will do that but also be beholden to the Chinese government. Not sure if the content is worse than that of Fox News or the Daily Mail (that’s a low bar to squeeze in under), but they’re at least sneakier.
There’s a tension between socialism and internationalism. If you’re going to tax the wealthy to give money to the poor, you run the risk of the wealthy leaving the country and more poor people arriving. There’s also the issue of many voters not being super solidaric with those who are not like them. In a sense, all socialism ends up being national by necessity. I don’t think that’s the worst thing ever. The policy combination of welfare and tight borders (or at least a citizenship that’s hard to get) does not inevitably lead to concentration camps.
