"Avatar that in golem like fashion, takes up it's own life", got it in one as JMG likes to say! The segment of society you have identified is sick by a creation of their own making and can't believe we don't all choose to participate in their brand of self destruction.
I dropped Faceplant shortly after the 2016 election and life has only gotten simpler and better. More time to read Ecosophia and blogs like yours and Violets. Keep up the good work and try not to expect too much of the average person. Much less disappointment that way.
