Sir John Glubb said: the fall of an empire will happen when entertainers [influencers] are worshiped.

If we're now worshiping murderers, then the end is nigh. It's like we need a divine intervention to upright the ship. As of 2020 if I had young kids in the house we would of been long gone. As in off-grid somewhere.
