I'm guessing you also don't use 1984 to justify some bullshit right-wing talking point that Orwell wouldn't have agreed with because he was a leftist, so... you know.

If the social media had existed then I probably would have. I read it as a teenager and was ultra right wing then.

Wait really?

Yeah. My dad was nuts and claimed to be an ex Illuminati member. I also grew up next to Oakland and the high school was kind of fucked up. Dorky white fat fucks weren't exactly popular which was twisted into racism already being shoved down my throat by him on top of the "god hates fags" "the end times are coming soon" rhetoric.

Hahaha. I think most of us here are lucky to have been born too early to really be affected with social media brain rot. Couple exceptions notwithstanding, obviously.

It's got its claws in everyone. None of us have escaped. It changed the entire psychic field... you'd literally have to be a hermit to remain unaffected. There isn't a single stream of information in my life that doesn't regularly reference the culture war.

We're all old enough to have dodged the deeper developmental personality mutations, I guess. But every single one of you is doing the new dance.

Honestly being message board people helped inoculate us (sorry for alluding to vaccines being good) against the internet psychosis that has gripped the older generations

Huge swaths of our generation now cannot muster sincerity or handle adversity without starting a gofundme but at least we don't reply to every General Flynn post on Truth Social with a bunch of jpg-artifacted-to-death Weekly World News headlines

I really, really, really hope he gets photographed with no makeup and normal hair. It would be an absolutely incredible moment.

Fuck trump.

Yeah if anything places like this board radicalized me over the years, when you'd see the Thurbers of the world espousing the virtues of George W. Bush it was easy to realize "Hey, maybe they're the dumb ones"

i remember pisscubes yelling at me for some libertarian shit i said and being like you know what he's probably right

i posted here about wagyu beef and kevin hit me with a Ross… and that was all it took

That one in red is ready

I finished watching the RFK documentary where he was ridiculing Jim Crow states for having literacy tests before voting. While I realize this was meant to discourage voters of color at the time, I can’t be the only one that thinks this is a superb idea for absolutely anyone who wants to vote presently.

Voting rights as something you earn would inarguably improve things, but would inevitably be misused imho as in the RFK example.

For another example, I am a belligerent retard with a sticky peanut butter face. Should I be allowed to vote? Of course not. But I'm also a land-owning white. How can these things be reconciled? The answer as always is through grindcore. Can't play power chords while screaming about rape? Guess what your whole family gets shoved into an abandoned salt mine full of starving vultures. Now that's what I call a republic! Coming soon on BRAVO
