For the most pure-tech focused and politically reluctant it's still possible to be overwhelmed by such stupid shit that it makes all your tech look pretty insignificant no matter the upside. Normally stupid shit comes about randomly from all directions naturally without anybody working against anybody else at all. But it can be really hard to ignore when the dark side "gangs up" and starts taking prisoners, and it can happen so quick it makes peoples' heads spin.
