You're talking out of your ass. Trans folk, and gender reassignment, have been a thing for decades. It's only recently become a social topic in the wider push for inclusive LGQT+ rights and has been gained mainstream attention, which has conservative undies in a twist. It just used to be that trans people kept themselves to themselves out of fear of social rejection, which is what the wider push has been about.

Uh, that varies wildly state to state and person to person here in the US. California even has division among acceptance, there are significant portions of people on LA and SF who'd love to see all these things repealed. Social media is a helluva drug.

Easily. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they could be useful in certain cases, especially once the technology matures. But it will be many years before then, and it'll be an uphill battle for them as construction workers don't take kindly to their jobs being threatened.

I'll believe it when I see it, and gleefully watch it fuck up all over the place to where it's thrown in a dumpster by a GC that doesn't have time for its shit.

What's this about 4chan imploding?

Not necessarily, but in my experience with my friends' kids, the ones that are the most maladjusted are the ones with their faces buried in their phones all the time, and these are the same kids that were raised on iPads and YouTube all day. It's one thing to have an hour or two of screen time in a day, but the parents that don't limit it have the kids with the most behavioral problems.

Behavioral issues start at home.

Schools now lose funding when kids don't pass, so admins press teachers to move them along.

Yeah but the masses now think he's at some all inclusive resort, and that's how this gets blown to the wind.

Bullshit, they're building a database to track all of us, and then some janky "AI" program will determine who's worthy of staying alive.

They're just pissy that it outperforms their proprietary pieces of shit, thus the psyop campaign.
