Therefore, we are in a world where anyone who tried to change our present time to what they want most likely didn’t succeed. Hence, a shitty parody of the original timeline.
Or, to get the world to do something about the major issues affecting the future they needed to convince enough people that change is required by setting up this absolute shit show, so once it gets bad enough we will have some kind of reckoning and then a new age of enlightenment. The only question is, how much of a shit show will we see before the reckoning and will we be able to recover …
