Once we can see the inside of people's homes, there will be an uprising and anger because they can see what they don't have.

And something I think about a lot.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm all for it.

I think it's great.

march 2020 or since really summer 2020 like it just feels like that is more normalized now like think of the internet like a physical space like so like a big room and there's a bunch of people who've been in there since the early 90s then you get a bunch more people who come in towards the end of the 2000s and then the whole world shows up in 2020.

And so you have a lot of people who are sort of used to the mechanics of it, understand it.

And you have a bunch of people who have only heard about it or sort of seen it from a distance.

And I think it's half the people who are already there going after the new people.

And it's the new people who do not know what they're doing, going after everybody and sort of aping the language of what they've seen before, especially with young kids, all the Zoom school kids who have nothing to do all day.

but like sort of obsess over pop stars and fight with each other.

Like the sort of Tumblr culture run rampant.

All of that hits like a neutron bomb in 2020.

And we're going to find out if the pre-COVID era was any different.

But first, a word from our sponsors.

Okay.

What's an air conditioning company?

Oh, God.

And so what's really interesting in the pre-COVID era is there are obviously a ton of main characters during the Trump administration, but they're not super notable.

It's almost sort of like during the first Trump administration, every journalist had a target on their backs.
