Before the internet, people would say some ignorant shit and we'd all just carry it around like a nugget of gold.

People still say ignorant shit, but now at least we can mark them for their nonsense and ignore their opinions.

Best way I've ever heard it described was that before the Internet, every village had it's idiot... "Hatians are eating pets? What? Oh, you were talking to Jerry."

Now, all the village idiots have glommed into each other and retweet the insanity back and forth until it takes on a life of it's own. "Buttery males!" and "adrenochrome extractions happening in basements of pizza places" etc etc etc.
