We live in an imperfect society where extremists leverage the very real flaws to insist that everything is absolutely corrupt and that we should embrace the exact opposite of anything that’s imperfect.

The sad thing is that we have real problems, and this nihilistic insistence that everything is fake means that those problems will only get worse.
