Since the pandemic, with the war and the inflation, I've basically lost acquaintances to the online rage pit. People got locked into all sorts of conspiracies about vaccines, 5G, wokeness, transgenderism, capitalism, NATO imperialism, or even Jewish complots.

I'm tolerant when I see scared people, despite bigotry or assholery. But I can only tolerate so much, and I had to watch people that I admire succumb to fear and hatred.

Go outside and touch grass, before it's too late.
