E.B. White
When I was a child people simply looked about them and were moderately happy; today they peer beyond the seven seas, bury themselves waist deep in tidings, and by and large what they see and hear makes them unutterably sad.
E.B. White, One Man's Meat

Tyson Brock was the stuff of alt-media legend. He had over a million followers and a few retweets from White House officials. Tyson had first gotten big while covering the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, when Antifa labeled him a “white supremacist” and ended up nailing him in the head with what he claimed was a bottle of piss.
