David Seymour, a New Zealand politician, recently commented on the nature of online discourse, noting that only 1% of Kiwis are "crazy," but all of them seem to congregate in the Facebook comment section. The remark, shared by Seymour on a local news outlet, reflects his observations on the polarized and often extreme nature of online conversations.
Seymour, a member of the New Zealand Parliament, made the comment in response to a discussion about public opinion and social media behavior. His statement highlights a growing concern about the spread of misinformation and the tendency of online platforms to amplify extreme views.
The comment has sparked a mixed reaction from the public, with some agreeing that social media often amplifies extreme voices, while others argue that such generalizations can be misleading. The remark, published by The Press (thepress.co.nz), has become a point of discussion in both political and media circles.
