In the past I would occasionally go onto the front page of Reddit just to see what delusions the plebbitors have spun up, for the sake of amusement. But the last few times I’ve done that I’ve found it no longer amuses me at all, and instead just left me feeling depressed and concerned for the future. Can anyone else relate to that sentiment at all?
It’s like..... if I read a post here I disagree with, it doesn’t bother me much. I can understand why someone might have come to a conclusion different from my own. On Plebbit though, I read these absolutely preposterous untruths — often the precise inverse of the truth in fact — and see them all egging each other on like some sort of mentally handicapped support group. It’s not only that I disagree with them, it’s that they are skin-crawlingly retarded yet believe that they are the enlightened ones. Their delusions have grown much broader in scope, more extreme in their falsehood, and I see no signs of it slowing down any time soon.
This is easily my most autistic post ever on the Farms but I feel compelled to say this somewhere. It scares me that there are so many midwits like that, guarded by their phony shroud of righteousness, who likely make up the majority of academia & other institutions of culture already. The most dangerous thing is a brainlet who is also a staunch ideologue, and that’s what all of them are. They claim to “fucking love science!” yet can happily eschew scientific principles in an instant when it serves their absurd ideology (transgender dogma, etc)
The internet has allowed bands of fools who would otherwise be socially isolated to digitally congregate and compound each other’s delusions. What makes plebbit even worse is that they earnestly believe they are the sane ones. Ok </autismo>
I don't think the folks cracking hive mind of reddit memes realized just how true it would become. This might be by design, and social media as a whole has been turned into a tool to weaponize the sheep.
I dread the day when the world has China's citizen credit score, because these are going to be the folks that set its guidelines and policy.
