  • I can’t fathom anyone reading Obama’s boilerplate bullshit, for example, and having a positive reaction.

    The left is going to be neutral or (more likely) angry about it. The right will still hate him so no benefit there either. Who is he tweeting for?

    Why say anything at all when we’re all obviously so fuckin tired of words.




  • “Meme culture” specifically made the Internet a worse place, the memes are just the weapon.

    Meme communities aren’t about sharing memes, they’re just a numbers game. They all have the same unoriginal content but they’re in a race to have the most of it.

    This encourages people to “make” more memes using the same template. The same joke over and over and over. Like if a tv show gets a cute character you will see the same 5 meme templates about it every single time.

    Meme culture rewards repetition, not originality. It rewards spamming crappy edits of someone else’s joke to as many sites as possible. It fills the Internet with garbage, pushing away anything worth looking at. Memes are effectively Internet cancer
