For years these truths were made available online but discredited due to the source reporting them. Now the truth is widely accepted by the mainstream it’s disregarded because we won’t do anything about it. Everybody’s clueless as to what to do, we’re all just walking around looking at our phones, looking at photos of our auntie’s cats on instagram.

Nothing ever affects us anyway. Or me. Or anyone else watching Kanye West’s latest manic episode in the Oval Office. It’s all just another part of life. Like taxes and dying, we just have to accept it as an invevitability. Well I’m telling you you’re wrong. I’m wrong. We’re all wrong! This is not the future our great grandparents fought for in the
