Birds Aren't Real

Context Birds Aren't Real (r/BirdsArentReal), is the official subreddit for the "most woke among us". It is described as "a safe haven for believers to gather, support one another in these times of adversity, and share images and stories that propel the cause forward. The birds work for the bourgeoisie".

A bit of context here: a significant number of members of Generation Z actively propagate (as a joke or seriously) the myth that birds doesn't exist anymore, because were gradually replaced by Government with drones.

The movement took a certain momentum recently, here is a selection of articles documenting this strange phenomena:
