Case in point: The first part of the 20th century. It’s not like people at an individual level were inherently more based. It’s that 90% of people at any given time are malleable retards who’ll unquestioningly do whatever they’re told to do by the person with the biggest bullhorn. Up until the 1960s or so, the people with the biggest bullhorn weren’t telling the masses to act like gay retarded communists, and so shit was pretty cool.

Then the tunnel people got more and more time on the bullhorn, and we ended up here.
