These people are obviously seeking attention because deep down they know they are really irrelevant. They are the same ones who scream at grocery store clerks and complain about POC, simply because they cannot get attention for their accomplishments because they have none. They have always been with us, but because there are more people now, there are more of them, and because technology has given them a free platform to rant, they have convinced themselves not only that they have the right to rant, but that they actually have something to say. They're pathetic and dangerous. The best thing to do is neutralize them however possible and if that means bribing them to take a vaccine that will save the lives of others, so be it.
