The whole Reddit Mod/Fox News thing was both hilarious and tragic... It was a missed opportunity to present the message in the right context. These days people are driven by arrogance and self perspectives so much that they can't even realize that they're harming themselves by just trying to win an argument that is intended to help everyone. The pandemic has highlighted so many terrible truths, but the most scary thing about it is that people are in denial about fixing things for the better because, in their perspective, it always looks rosy, and they believe that money and popularity will insulate them from eventual suffering. We're all watching fake "influencer" culture roll towards us like a giant boulder and trying to figure out how to jump on top of it (as a society)... It's a very toxic time in history.

Pardon my French but that whole thing was needless and stupid. I mean beyond stupidity stupid. We're talking levels of stupidity that shouldn't even be possible. I don't mean the already mentioned and worked over issues of personal appearance and the presentation of their room, the stereotypical autism excuses, etc etc. I mean just doing a modicum of research before agreeing to speak with Jessie Watters! Watters used to be Bill O'Reilly's guy, did a segment called 'Watter's World' where he would interview people and get them to (yes, you guessed it!) say stupid things so that he and O'Reilly could mug at the camera and say 'Kids these days!' Just a cursory search of YouTube would have brought up video after video of this sort of thing. The only interviewer that should have raised more red flags would have been if they'd been told they'd be interviewed by Mark Dice! Instead this arrogant puffed up moron went in with no research, no plans or talking points and ultimately was a complete self-owned dagger at the heart of the movement they claimed to represent. What a joke!
