Instead of social media birthing kumbaya, it fuelled genocide and helped erode the foundations of democracy and reality itself. Rather than tackle the impending doom of climate change, we’ve continued to screw ourselves over. For every scientific breakthrough, we had some jackass injecting jizz into his arm.
