Maybe you are right - that there is more anger now, simply because the games are getting shittier?
That's part of it. The other part is that people have been locked in their homes for a year without the outlets they're used to. There have been race riots for a year now with no real reason other than "because". Inflation is creeping up pretty quickly and the Fed keeps printing money. In the UK, you have Boris Johnson not being the hero people elected him to be. In France, you have farmers dumping cow shit on government buildings because the government is making it hard for them to do what they've done for generations. Ukraine and Russia are having a pissing contest. In the United States, we're seeing the rise of a totalitarian regime in the name of "Democracy". Doctors are giving kids hormones without informing parents. We're told we need to get a vaccine which is untested for a virus we have a 99.97% chance of surviving. At the same time, vaccine passports? Riots are called protests and protests are called riots, depending on which side does it. Straight guys are expected to have sex with gay dudes because they refer to themselves as "she" now. Western countries are taking in a huge amount of people from non-Western countries, but the Great Replacement is just a conspiracy theory even though many major cities in those countries are no longer majority natives anymore. The QAnon larp is really bad because it says there's a cabal of Satanic pedophiles pulling the strings of nations, while the President can't keep his hands off kids and even though lots of people in power went to Jeffery Epstein's Pedo Island, nothing has come out of that. We're all told to trust the science, but the result of all the science seems to be socialism. The people who are breaking things and burning things down are the revolution even though the media, big corporations, and government officials back them up. Banks and money processors are testing the waters of China's Social Credit Scoring System. Oh, and bring up any of this, and you get banned from Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, and so on.
Did I miss anything?
