The advent of Social Media generally has a direct correlation to the decline in society that led us to where we are now.

I know that typically correlation does not = causation, but in this case I think there is a pretty strong causal link between the age of social media/ going viral and the dumbing down, increase in self focus, pseudo-intellectual, people give a fuck what I have to say on issues, attitude that runs rampant in our culture today.

Social Media has fooled people into believing that there is an audience waiting to hear their opinion on topics they know nothing about, namely politics and social issues, and now we see the majority of Social Media users willingly being lazy and not informing themselves because they have seen that you can post an uninformed bullshit opinion on something and garner significant response and agreement with your bullshit opinion because everyone else is equally uninformed and prone to spewing their bullshit opinions everywhere.
