Hey everyone. I haven’t posted here in a while. The world made no sense the last time I did, and it makes even less sense now. That translates (among other things) to people being crazier on the internet, constantly challenging my personal illusions about what I imagined to be rock bottom.

These are troubled times indeed. If you’ve been using the Internet for a while, you must have noticed that the general climate has been steadily declining. In fact, it feels like we have grown quite used to our weekly offense-fest. It is speculated that social media platforms are engineered in a way that encourages them: nothing generates more “engagements” than an inflammatory post that the audience will retweet in feverish, self-righteous anger. The mainstream media certainly doesn’t seem to mind, as this provides a constant stream of highly clickable opinion pieces.
