At the end of the day, what is the actual purpose of us being here?
I'm not asking this in negativity at all. I just have a hard time understanding the greater purpose.
The feelings about lolcows as a whole seems to be mixed between "we like them, we just like laughing at them." and "We genuinely fucking hate this person."
Is this just the nerd version of watching trainwreck reality TV shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians and The Surreal Life?
Or is it really in the end just a catalog of weird eccentrics that are slightly internet famous?
 
Also a youngfag, and I could never get into Twitter. How are you supposed to say something that's more than 140 characters without having it being broken up into multiple tweets? I tend to stick with forums and blogs (and God forbid, the occasional Google doc manifesto) for this reason.
 
This is a place for refugees of the old internet to gather and laugh at people while we try to ignore the world going to shit all around us
The internet used to be a libertarian populist utopia where left-libertarians and right-libertarians of all stripes could mingle and engage in free discourse. KF is one of the last remaining vestiges of that glorious past.

The world around us is not merely "going to shit". It is becoming repulsively authoritarian and trespassing on the internet and displacing its original values and culture in the process.

I've hear having a nuanced conversation on Twitter is like trying to write an essay using post-it notes. You really can't do it.

Goddam immigrants, ruining my Internet.
