Sure, but that seems a little apple to oranges to me. All these major issues people are mentioning in this thread, how many people here in this discussion have actually been threatened by the things mentioned in the OP?
We've always had assassinations
We've always had conspiracy theories
There's always been gun violence
There have always been wars
What makes the current ones so much worse? The fact that people just mainline content telling them all about how miserable they should be, usually trying to make it seem worse than it actually is just to get clicks or views
