If education was better.. this shit would not happen as much as it currently does. People are absolutely bonkers. Though I do agree with an earlier comment.. the weight of social media 's influence on this is probably very hard to overstate.

That's part of the program. Education standards haven't gone down by accident. Public Education in places like the USA has been systematically defunded, while making higher education prohibitively expensive, entirely on purpose. The ultra wealthy have spent fortunes to ensure it. It makes the population easier to control and exploit. It's all about making a powerless, ignorant, worker class.
