" Ironically , the internet . "
Remember all those movies that imagined what life would be like in the future? Now that it’s 2025, things that used to be in our wildest dreams have become everyday luxuries. And with anything good, there’s also the bad. I recentlyaskedtheBuzzFeed Communityto share something from the modern world they’d love to “exorcize” or leave behind entirely. Here’s what they had to say:
1.“Inflation.”
2.“Politicians. They have their agendas that do not include the well-being of their constituents. Power and money are their goals.”
— Anonymous from Massachusetts
3.“The ‘us versus them’ mentality.”
4.“Guns.”
— Anonymous from Ohio
5.“Social media. It’s a breeding ground for cruelty, ignorance, and hatred. Not to mention how people have gone from genuinely caring about others to superficially caring about others to impress the internet. I quit social media years ago and have been much happier, and wish more people would give it up.”
6.“Fast fashion needs to go! What happened to clothes made to last you forever? Don’t even get me started on how bad for the environment it is…”
— mellowbutterfly188
7.“Money! I get that it’s hard to imagine a society without it, but if we could reset everything, money should never have been invented. So many things could be avoided, like economic recessions, inflation, financially disadvantaged people, etc. Maybe people could pursue things they like rather than burning themselves up to get academically revered for a job they’ll hate but pays well.”
8.“Honestly, sexism and racism. Why insult someone for something they can’t control?”
— 2stepsahead
9.“Everyone’s sense of entitlement.”
10.“Weapons of war.”
— evilduck14
11.“Mullets. And the weird, creepy pervert mustache young guys are getting now. We left this in the past for a reason, people.”
12.“Patriarchy.”
— Anonymous
13.“Medical fees. Just let everyone see a doctor without worrying about the cost.”
14.“People filming random strangers for internet clout.”
— zzombiequeen
15.“Hookup culture and any modern dating. I want real, pure love.”
16.“I’d get rid of fascism and capitalism. Now.”
17.“Ironically, the internet.”
18.“Greed.”
— Anonymous from Minnesota
19.“Hate. It would solve a lot of problems.”
