The nuts have always been out there. The computer age has made them better.
At being nuts.
X, which in a different era was known as Twitter, is excellent for that.
During the Occupy Wall Street movement I utilised it to find out what the situation was at the transit stations so that I could tell my coworkers where the naked deomonstrators were, in order that they time their commute accordingly when leaving for the day.
"Ugly nudists presently at Civic Center Station, they'll be at Powell in approximately ten minutes. Leave now, before they shut the gates at Montgomery."
Social media is useful for keeping track of people not wearing clothes.
If used wisely.
Between them, exhibitionists and Twitter wrecked the Occupy Wall Street movement. Things are much more shocking, impactful, and offending to the sensibilities when they are unexpected and startle, not when they are known and avoided.
CLOUDS OF TEARGAS, RIOT SQUADS
On that note, civilized people should probably avoid Great Britain for the next decade. There are violent racists and nazis everywhere, attacking everyone who looks or sounds different, torching mosques, shops, and hostels, looting, throwing cinder blocks and molotovs at the police, and screaming unintelligibly in peculiar forms of English only understood by locals living under bridges safeguarding goats. As yet there are no "nudists for racehatred".
But that's because of the climate rather than common sense.
The England that stood as one against the blitz is gone. In its stead, pasty white pudgies run through the streets and trash their own monuments for whatever insane cause they support, no matter how bloodthirsty and murderous it may be.

AFTERWORD: You can find excellent marmelades in the United States, as well as sources of superior tea. There is probably an electric kettle in your hotel room, and a teapot is easily purchased at a local emporium. Scones, biscuits, muffins, and even crumpets, can often be sourced locally. The nearby restaurants will offer better food which is less greasy and not so heavy on the stomach. Baked beans in a tin will probably take a bit of searching. Mushy peas are unavailable, unlamentably. And in most parts of the country the natives speak far more understably than over there.
There is good craft beer here. English pipe tobacco is now mostly manufactured in Germany or Denmark. Fine English cigarettes are imported from Nigeria, and Canadian cigarettes are also widely available. Curry is made by Indians and Pakistanis.
And we have real Chinese food in many cities.
Good coffee can be found.
