Sadly, this in sort of on brand… but it is symptomatic of the infantilisation of society , which is all good except for the fact that it strips them of their agency and makes them ideal tools for the select few. Oh, and infantile parents also create terrible, unhappy, disturbed children, so there’s that.
Hey man, maybe just disconnect from the Internet for a while. I'm not trying to be snarky at all.
Legitimately when I feel like society is headed towards the end, I go do volunteer work at a soup kitchen or women's shelter or nursing home or something. It helps me understand that the mess I see online isn't necessarily real.
Not trying to be judgemental, but your comment sounds like you might need to just unplug for a couple weeks. A toy car shouldn't make you question some sinister plot to destroy us. Seriously.
Society has problems, but it's still pretty cool in the world.
Welcome to the prestige fidget spinner society.
