2015 is the clear inflection point

Yup. A small drop due to 2008 financial crash’s after effects. Then a steady rise back. And 2014-15-16 everything crumbles down.

Is there consensus as to why?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Social media and rise of foreign interference in elections, paired with massive increases in inequality.

Eh. Obviously not great and of course it will get worse but a scale from 5.2 to 5.6 is bound to look extreme in either direction.
