There has been a downward spiral of greedy, short-sighted antisocial bullshit going on for far longer than my mere 45 year long lifespan…
That said, I strongly suspect the Hadron Collider in 2008 may have had some dire influence on this reality, exacerbating the batshit-crazy to an unprecedented level… so that now every fucking day feels like living in a Twilight Zone episode…

That’s what caused the Gates oh Hell to open in John Connolly’s Samuel Johnson series. And we don’t have young Samuel and his dachshund to protect us.
“The Gates of Hell have opened. Mind the gap!”

Obviously there are different approaches that could be taken to that question - You could go back to the American Civil War or further. There are lots of places to start.
But.
I present for your consideration, the Jonbar Point for this fucked up timeline, Puck from The Real World - San Francisco, MTV (1994)
The first Reality TV Asshole.
From him you can draw a downward spiral through Anne Robinson The Missing Link (made a virtue of being cruel), Simon Cowell The X Factor (Cruel and Rude) and so on through the lowering of standards of TV entertainment and popular culture, through Shark Tank, The Apprentice , and on to the grand daddy of all of reality TV assholes that is The T**** Show
Edit for markup problem .

I don’t know if unintentional is correct. Maybe “unself-aware”. I mean what’s there is what they intended but they seriously believe, despite all the evidence, that they are not fascists.
I mean Rees-Mogg being offended about being compared to a fascist is, as I’ve said before, like Franco complaining (but I’m a falangist!). I suspect it’s just because he’s an English supremacist and can’t bear to be compared to mainland Europeans.

I notice a lack of assault rifles among the women’s march of 2017.
How did they expect to be taken seriously in their peaceful protest without packing heat…to give implicit threats to law enforcement and the public? /s dear sweet /s

Michigan physician assistant voluntarily deployed to NYC pens righteously pissed off response to the idiot protesters in her home state.
Currently I’m eating lunch in NYC next to not one, not two, not three but FOUR refrigerator trucks full of dead bodies. Did you know the first one was just delivered to one of our major hospitals in Detroit? I left my husband and three children to voluntarily deploy to NYC to help with the crisis and now I’m going to be returning in a few weeks to watch the same absolute horror unfold in my own city.
Do you want to know WHY places like NYC aren’t whining and bitching about this because almost ALL of them have been on the receiving end of a phone call that someone they love lost the fight. This will be Metro-Detroit soon partly in thanks to you. Can’t WAIT for the second wave in a few weeks and for all of the counties that were NOT affected to have a huge spike in numbers. Many with very little resources.
You ought to be absolutely ashamed of yourselves and don’t even get me started on blocking access to the hospital and impeding / distracting from patient care during this absurd stunt.
** Are all of the people “protesting” in Lansing today and stabbing all of us healthcare providers in the back planning on quarantining for 14 days?** Paying their $1000 fee for meeting with a group greater than 10? Giving up their right to a ventilator and medical attention? Signing DNRs? You’re all assholes. If you support that group today, you are too.
Ironic that your little stunt just extended our quarantine fools and further damaged our economy and killed thousands of people.
Mark my words. I’ve watched this first hand in a major city like ours and I can’t even begin to explain the sheer terror that is headed your way.
Not media. No fear mongering. First hand account of THE TRUTH. Disappointed in my fellow Michiganders. Terrified for them. Exhausted from the prospect that I’ll be doing this for months.

Oh Glob. Even joking about this makes me fear for the safety of CERN scientists, and science in general.
Because, this timeline.
It is like reading a Dan Brown/Tom Clancy mashup in quick and heavy rotation with a MST3000/Simpsons mashup.
I sometimes whish we could make LHC create a black hole. But then again, I whish we could just start being enlightened human beings who live in peace which each other and the world.
Both not likely, so I’m just trying to do my best to make this better for the next generation.

Budget gaps, lay-offs and service cuts on the horizon. Local government can’t run a deficit or print money.

Everything you need to know about journalists is that he can’t even find a picture of the “protest” that hasn’t been cropped to have the genocidal fucks fill the frame.

I agree with Jeff’s point:
Big media coverage of these small anti-stay-home protests is a big mistake.
but I think it even goes further, in that “anti-stay-home protests” is a misnomer. These are organized political statements and the stay at home order is secondary to the primary motivation for these people showing up.
As fun as it is to mock, do we really think this woman is angry she can’t get her ice cream?
