social media man, couldn't see that one coming. when the like button came out in 2012 it just accelerated every ill in society, not to mention the biggest ill of them all in modern American society - that whole critical thinking thing.
i take you back to 2006 to 2010 - in the obama transition years. I was super "negative" on shag (or wherever the F we were at the time). It all just felt so fucking fake and stupid. We bail out rich folks, we preach free markets, we spend billions to sway 10k voters in like 5 states. the whole fucking thing has been super regarded to decades now. 2012 just put it into 5th gear
There is a massive hole in America right in the fucking brain. My only hope is people don't genuinely wish death on their neighbors like in the infinite previous examples that history has shown us and we never learn from. whatever, brutal times ahead friends.
