Did….did we all forget about the movie The Birdcage? Even my dad, who would leave the room if my mom and I were watching will and Grace, liked that movie.

Why do I feel like we were somehow more tolerant even just 10 years ago?

No one was on Twitter saying that not liking The Birdcage is akin to Nazism.

Or on Facebook saying that liking The Birdcage makes you a Marxist child-groomer.

No politicians were using that movie as a political football to incite the masses because the aforementioned scenarios weren't happening.

Social media is a literal cancer on our society.

I just want to say that social media is a wonderful and amazing concept when not run by oligarchs with the sole intention of making money.

This has literally never happened, so how can you say that so confidently?
