Anybody ever see the movie They Live?  It is kinda a cornball action-comedy from the 1980s, but it has some social commentary in it and is worth a watch.  I feel like the movie was somewhat prophetic, but in reverse.  When I last had my real job I use to take the Bay Area subway into SF daily.  Sometimes I'd look around at everyone on their devices.  Not being on one was like having a superpower of presence and observation in a realm full or techno-zombies.

If you are going to spend some time looking at those pics you should read the about page (https://www.removed.social/about).

RC, your link is powerful and dark.  Humanity has had the ability to remove the right side for a long time now.  The good news is that it is getting better (https://towardsdatascience.com/has-global-violence-declined-a-look-at-the-data-5af708f47fba).
