Hilarious how the WSJ-shithead claims that when thousands of students
are willing to be beaten and arrested en masse it implies they're "less
resilient and disengaged." Did Tienanmen Square need TikTok to happen?

 One thing it's worth asking yourself, if more people were like me,
would the world be a better place?

It isn't. There's no way that you can can generate an objectively reliable estimate on your own effect on the world as a whole.
Anybody silly enough to ask the question has to live with the fact that if you are that silly your effect on the world is bound to be negative.
In John Larkin's case, his enthusiasm for climate change denial propaganda guarantees that his net effect on the world as a whole is going to be negative.
