man this is wild paradigm shift for me, I get alot of my news from here but I think im alot more, idk, "normie" than the average farmer so I have lots of normie friends and people in my life so when I tell them some news I read here if they ever ask where I got it I always just say "a forum" a leave it at that sometimes I just tell them "I read it from people on the internet"
I dont want them googling this not beacuse of the politics stuff, everyone knows politics are divisive and aggressive especially on the internet, I dont want them to learn about the class of people that have made internet losers their own version of reality TV. Like every now and again I click on a happening to a internent persona thats big enough I recongize them and I always leave the thread feeling much more concerned about the posters within. I remeber one time when Destiny got featured for some issue he was havving and I click the happening link to the board and the very first message I see is a HUGE wall of text about some super weird drama going on in his life and I scroll down and the post below that just sticks with me, the poster is replying to the above wall of text with "This is CLASSIC destiny, its just like *insert super specific date from 2014* when he did blah blah blah" like he just fucking whips out the historical compare and contrast like its a geopolitical event or somthing. The best part was that both posts had like 20-30 postive reactions so litteraly dozens of people are well enough in the know to agree with him.
Anyway VIVA LA THUNDERDOME
