in the real world

An entire generation of people have been all but ruined because their parents raised them saying "Don't believe anything on the internet, it's not the real world" and as a result it's become the place where we all get all of our information, opinions and news and do most of our social interactions, and yet have this "out" we can always pull when it makes us uncomfortable.

Don't like what some people somewhere think or say? Don't need to engage or weigh in, retreat to a bubble. Don't like what someone said about your comment? Say the whole thing isn't real, call light to the "bubble" while still being in it.

It's so, so many people. Just avoiding uncomfortable realities, repeating lines that sound like they work to stop arguments or discomfort, not actually engaging with anything in a way that would challenge your own feelings or beliefs.

Well, there's some truth to that as well.
