Any books that explains how the internet and social media seems to be melting the minds of people?

In the comments section of a youtube clip of a satiric film, was a furry profile pic with a comment that suggested that he was too retarded to understand the movie clip. Clicking on his profile revealed that he is a misogynistic homosexual alt-right furry with playlist of furry faggots in fursuits, sargon videos, anti-sjw videos, amazing atheist videos and for some reason he follows some tranny on youtube.

What the fuck are they putting in the water where we have people that are so skilled at mental gymnastics?

There's one named person and amazing atheist, who IIRC, either shoved a banana up his ass on cam or dipped his balls in boiling oil on cam. Didn't realize that guy was still around.

All the shit Landlets talk about have an esoteric as well as exoteric meaning. The Internet, capital, industrial society etc. as a whole is the incarnation of Ahriman. Collective material intelligence to manage everything on the face of the earth, to unite perfectly with the physical and eradicate the ethereal, astral and individual.

>If while in a railway carriage or steamer someone who has taken the first steps towards initiation wants to find his way into the spiritual world in meditation, he naturally makes efforts to develop the power of vision and seership which will bear him thither; but he perceives how the Ahrimanic world fills him with everything that opposes this striving to reach the spiritual world, and the battle then waged is intensely fierce. It is an inner battle, producing in the etheric body an experience of being crushed, hacked to pieces. Naturally, those who have taken no steps on the way to initiation are also involved in this battle, the only difference being that those who have taken these steps are consciously aware of what is happening. Everybody is obliged to undergo the battle; in its effects it is experienced by everybody. There would be no greater fallacy than to say: We must rebel against what technical science has brought to us in modern life, we must protect ourselves from Ahriman, we must withdraw from this modern life.

>In a certain respect such an attitude would be an indication of spiritual cowardice. The real remedy lies, not in allowing the forces of the soul to weaken and to withdraw from modern life, but in so strengthening these forces that its pandemonium can be endured. World-karma demands a courageous attitude to modern life, and that is why genuine Spiritual Science calls at the very outset for effort, really strenuous effort on the part of the human soul.

Tsst
These are just the symptoms. If godlessness continues like this...
Imagine these "people". Picture them at the end of kaliyuga, when the only food source will be cannibalism, because in their godlessness they irrevocably killed the earth and all therein...
Sorry, where was i? Yes, imagine all these radicalized im-only-intelligent-enough-to-be-brainwashed consumers in such environment, along with their captors. Would you end their suffering and ask God to let them into Heaven?
