Humans love to put others on pedestals just to knock them down.
Modern society, including this site, have dispensed with the pedestal and are just knocking tards down. And that is fair and just.
However, there’s a slight possibility that maybe the tards documented here can achieve greatness.
Are we nothing more than the proverbial tard crabs, just holding the other tard crabs down?

I think of us more as tard historians. Most of us only observe and discuss, mocking those who interfere with the cows lives. We keep a record of all their stupidity and bad behavior. If a cow shapes up their thread dies, and they can go about their lives.

If anything they put themselves on a pedastal, we just remind them it's made of shit and garbage.

One could argue that the “shaping up” part is very subjective.
Dan Harmon, for instance, is a fairly successful individual.
His cow stratus seems to be linked to his social media and podcast opinions in combination with his alcoholism.

We merely collate data. To get noticed by the farms there has to some heavy strangeness. It isn't out of the blue, typically.

They wouldn't be great if we weren't trying to tear them down.

Interesting point. I guess it’s hard to prove, one way or the other.
There are lot of second-generation Hollywood celebrities who grew up sheltered and spoiled. Some became beloved actors, others became Jaden Smith.

By shaping up I don't necessarily mean become super successful. It just means no longer acting like an idiot on the onlines. You do that we get bored, and you can continue your life to the best of your ability. Lack of success doesn't make a lolcow. Acting like an idiot does.

One man’s idiot is another man’s hero.
