I got added to several Groups in the last couple days - none by my own will. One of them was by a friend with a non-personal profile (not a single real photo, no personal posts, just general, but pro-vegan), still 890 mutual friends (its amazing how quickly we friend each other, satisfied by the staggering numbers of mutual friends, which can be accumulated in a matter of hours). So I removed myself from the group, just to be added again by the same person, shortly. I asked her not to add me anymore, because Im already in a lot of groups and also do other things to help the world, so no time for more Groups. Guess what happened next? .... ..... Yea, got unfriended. I never had interactions with her, so its fine, but we really need to put our egos aside if we want more unity and the change that we can only bring together. If we want more social justice, then we should be really okay with people choosing not to join our groups, and to be honest nobody should be added without their consent in the first place. This Facebook feature is like a test for healthy boundaries. But removing vegans from your contacts for not wanting to spend time in your sandbox hating on non-vegans? Yeah, I can see how that can help animals. It seems people are getting so sucked in into the Facebookland and its whole trip, spammy functions included, that they forget about real life. I dont add anonymous non-personal profiles anymore. They seem to be too much in their head, unable to connect on a personal level, and treat others as if they are not real too. Gotta keep it real.
