"You either with me or against me ho! You either with me or... Win! Win win win win Fuck everything else Win win win win."
Everything is about what team you're on now. And social media has exacerbated this reality exponentially. This anti-intellectual group-think has become a replacement for actual analysis or opinion.
In this atmosphere, remaining silent is tantamount to picking the other side. People don't care about your actual opinion, or that you actually have an opinion, they just want to know what side you're on.
