I'm not 100% convinced that it has ever been different, not really. The outward manifestations may change form/appearance but underneath there has always been the cognitive dissonance, selfishness and myopathy.
I always thought my eyes were relatively open but this whole covid situation has shown people up very starkly for what they are and the majority of it is abhorrent. If lockdown ended tomorrow I would have no wish to be around people at all. Don't get me wrong, I've never been a party animal but now I cant stand being around people at all and prefer my cats and solitude.
