I will not lie, these few years, from 2015 Gamergate to Trump to HongKong to Xinjiang to COVID to Ukraine, are one of the most insane years in all of human history, because of the hyper fast digital connectivity humanity has experienced for the first time, and which has also been used to document all this in an information overflow manner.
You know when you learn about the politics of midieval Europe and go “holy shit what a clusterfuck! I can’t believe those monarchs and clergymen were so vile!” Well that’s what future generations will say about most of the world’s governments, especially the West.

At least no one can say that nothing interesting happens!
