I'm "trying" to link it to the recent rise of fascism. And general breakdown of society.
You have a point though, a rise in stupidity is part and parcel of the same phenomenon.
I mean, we've seen plenty of authoritarianism and facism before plastic was invented, so that seems like a dubious notion
That's why this is in showerthoughts rather than science
