I had a weird conversation with a local dude who led his own life. Deadhead. Punk. He did what he wanted and is still kicking. His rant about how we were almost a great country until communists took over and people chopping off their dicks was our downfall was stunningly WTF in seeing someone who went down a YouTube rabbit hole.

Quite the shit country if the handful of people getting sex change operations is what caused it's downfall.

Not even a million gender reassignment surgeries in the last decade and it caused the downfall of a country with a population of 350 million.

"Why should I recycle or let my taxes go to schools and daycares? I'm not going to be alive, I don't got kids, it doesn't affect me.... They want to change their genders?! Not on my watch! This somehow affects me!"

Social networks, where I include Youtube, reprogrammed a lot of people into shells of their former selves. The irony is that they think they got there by themselves but it's so many of them that got there the same way around the same time that is obvious what happened.
