We are more than a decade into the 21st century, a fantastical time once imagined to be a utopia of flying firemen and underwater whale buses, but instead brought the world fast-food saunas and unqualified presidential candidates.

It has not.

For proof, just watch the above iPhone video of a bunch of people in Houston, Texas, beating the ever-loving shit out of one another after being overcome by some good, old-fashioned road rage. The recording, released over the weekend by ABC, shows an argument between the drivers and passengers of two cars—a blue truck and a white sedan—which quickly devolves into a mess of fists, kicks, thrown soft drinks, and blood-curdling screams.

Watch the whole brawl unfold above—shot for your twisted viewing pleasure by a bizarrely cool-headed bystander—and silently pine for all that humanity could but never shall be.
