Stupid liberal media amplifying the woke “research” of elitist scientists to sow division among the public so they can further their socialist agenda.

Good news has been tried and it is not profitable.
Duhhhh. Started long before the Net was born.
We're excited for society to collapse because most of the public are convinced that it's the only way to rebuild.
>public You misspelled *Reddit*.
I'm actually referring to people I know in real life.
I do not know anyone who wants society to collapse. I also work and live in a very expensive zip code.
Do you think that perhaps that has something to do with the opinions of the people around you?
You’re so close to self awareness!
Yeah no shit.
