A fair perspective. It's also possible that your isolation from media has let you return to see what was wrong with that media all along. Possibly you were simply blind to how bad it was before, or just used to it.
I concur that it is worse than it was, but I would say 10-30% worse not "completely different."
It would be nice if there was a little less hate generally.
As someone who hasn't been in prison but has done a good job of not letting media outlets getting to me (since I just block a lot of them through my pihole), he's spot on. I've had people on a discord server whom I was friends with basically oust me simply because I had some marginally more conservative views than them. My experiences were invalid because they did not align with their worldviews. That is the media today with social media platforms amplified in that regard as well.
On a better note Y2K brought us the movie "Office Space", so perhaps Y2K38 will give us another equally awesome movie.
