    Nah we recording it all pretty well these days, buuuuut, I get what you’re saying. People are behaving like they did in the dark ages.

    Social media is scary.

    Sweet old grandma from down the street that used to give you treats, she was always apolitical, loving and an all around warm person. Nowadays instead of telling you to eat all your vegetables and be kind to your neighbor she says, “I seen on Facebook that they’re poisoning the water supply so more kids become trans. They’ve started executing Christians in California for not being gay. They’re trying to kill off old people with shots so that the communists can take control and force sterilize white people. Be sure to vote Hitler honey. They’ve been keeping him alive in Russia with experimental drugs and he’s escaped to save us all. Oh yeah, did you hear about Marlene dying after she got a shot. She was a perfectly healthy 99 year old woman. So young, it just don’t make sense why the democrats wanted her dead.”

    I don’t think we can survive having access to endless information. It would be nice if we were all smart enough to handle it and sift through the bullshit, but people exist who believe the world is flat because some jackass on social media said so.
