Loss of faith in humanity I definitely get.

But it's what is intended in the first place.

Demoralization to hopelessness and depression to doing nothing.

No counteracting the intended narrative or movement.

It's a clever way to eliminate competition without spilling more blood than necessary. (That would be inefficient, if course)

There will always be a place for those that are working within their own means to live the life they intend, and are clever enough to adapt to a constantly changing landscape... Even a hostile one.
