So we got covid, Canada and Hawaii burning, a hurricane in southern California, a right wing insurrection in the US, and microplastics in everything. What's next? Brainworms, of course!

What's truly horrifying is the caliber of shit that didn't make it to your list. We've already forgotten crazy shit from only like 2 years ago. Does anybody even remember murder hornets or that polar vortex arctic freeze thing?

Is the news fucking insane nowadays or was I just not really paying attention until ten years ago?

People are getting crazier because of Russian and Chinese propaganda. Climate is getting worse by the minute and nobody is doing anything about it.

Lmao yes it's just Chinese and Russian proper gander that's making people crazier and certainly not the chemicals, insane workload, and societal expectations for success

Two things that are more American than apple pie. But sure, it's all because of those damn foreigners!

No dude, those damn foreigners used armies of hundreds of thousands of bots to promote those idiocies and make them widespread and known to everyone while at the same time harassing anyone that was debunking it.
