There's some seriously sad, weird people out in the world... and the internet connects them to us.

Tbh I don't think humanity was ready for social media. In the past, complete and utter fuckwits would be shamed into silence. Now, they're all connected to each other, reinforcing their shitty hot takes until they reach a critical mass; attracting other morons like a black hole of idiocy.

Forget technological singularity, we're rapidly approach a singularity of stupidity. Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy, not a how-to manual for fucks sake!
