One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.

    You believe you are the Main Character of the universe and that everything ceases to exist when you die

    Man you really don’t understand when people are doing bits. You think people would just go on the internet and not mean literally everything they type?

    Hexbear needs a villian, don’t you understand UlyssesT? You wouldn’t be having half of the enjoyment in this conversation if I just did a normal comment. But now I got to do a silly bit and you got to pretend you’re arguing with someone serious.

    Discussion on the internet is inherently worthless because no one ever changes their opinions. It’s a black box in which no matter the inputs, the outputs remain the same. Is it really so wrong then to lay down ideas like “seriousness” if it doesn’t change anything? Your answer will be of course that I’m delusional and only doing this to cope or something because that’s what your opinion started as. No matter what you or I say, we cannot change.

    Stop posting and touch grass if you want truth, nothing here matters.

      Man you really don’t understand when people are doing bits.

      Being obnoxious and falling back to “it was just a bit” is tiresome and belongs in the dustbin of history right alongside the “ironic” nazis of 4chan. Insincere people like you can move the goalposts all you want but I just see the obnoxious part and stop there because that’s all there usually is under those pretentious masks of irony.

      Stop posting and touch grass if you want truth

      You first, especially because of your masturbatory “I am internet Diogenes” LARPing attempts, be they bits or ironic or whatever you want to pretend they were.

      Discussion on the internet is inherently worthless

      Your internet nihilism is childish and about 20 years stale. 4chan is still open if you want to go somewhere that still praises internet nihilism.

      nothing here matters

      If you’re not being praised for your Diogenes LARP, bit or irony or whatever, nothing matters because all you care about is being praised for your bit/irony/very-smartness!
