      I’m “trying” to link it to the recent rise of fascism. And general breakdown of society.

      You have a point though, a rise in stupidity is part and parcel of the same phenomenon.

        I mean, we’ve seen plenty of authoritarianism and facism before plastic was invented, so that seems like a dubious notion
