(Anonymous) 2023-12-10 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)I'd wager that things are a lot less time-sensitive than they initially seem, though; social media makes everything appear immediate, without priority, as everyone is always posting about something that's important to them at any time of the day. And this taking a step back to analyze what's going on until we figure out what to do about it, this refusal to react simply because we can would make talking to one another a lot easier!

(Anonymous) 2023-12-11 01:44 am (UTC)(link)That is taking a side, though, that's not being neutral. It's "I am delaying my response to this until I have better information" -- and it is a very, very good way of dealing with things, especially with the complicated phenomena involving numerous political factors at work in any one given event, indeed. That gives people time to ponder and it's this little "delay" that usually leads us to better decisions anyway.
In terms of emotional involvement and cognitive balancing, it's still pretty neutral. And there's a chance that even after reviewing the nuances they may opt to not get further involved and thus not take a side.
(That said, some sense of urgency is justified given how quickly posts online can disappear.)
