...is because I see it as the first microcosmic example of what's beginning to emerge as the next "thing" happening in society. That is: society finally starting to fall apart in ways no one can pretend aren't happening, because we, the part of society that was told to fuck off, DID fuck off, and then they come running to us to fix it and we tell them to fuck off.
That's exactly what's happening with reddit right now. They kicked us out, it's gone to shit, and now the owners are doing precisely what we warned they would do. Trust me, the rich irony was not lost on me when I saw posts here about reddit mods going to 4chan to try to rally something together to rectify their entirely predictable predicament. And even more predictably, there was/is none of us rushing to run into their burning building for them.
And I can see that happening en masse in society starting just about now...and our response should be exactly the same. They told us to fuck off (and it was MUCH worse than just that)....ok, we did...society's failing, as it always would, and now they're about to desperately wail at us to fix it all. Oh great, now that it's unfixable you expect us to take ownership over it? Hows abouts we tell you exactly what you told us... "FUCK. OFF."
We have our minds on the next society already anyways.
This is funny. The same exact thing happened to me from some family members. They pushed me away and it’s them now trying to crawl back. Fuck them. One in particular is suffering greatly from their actions. While I don’t jack off and cum to anyone’s pain, I will not give in and be treated like shit again. This time it’s shame on them. Knome sayn?
The left is coming apart. That was inevitable and Reddit is one more step in the acceleration, along with Buzzfeed becoming irrelevant, CNN losing ratings and Vice going bankrupt. All of them were mediums of promoting the message. Now that society is moving on, those that tied their wagon to that horse are sinking along with it.
Reddit was one of the major promoters of this bullshit and while it's not necessarily the cause of its downfall, the fact that that was its main reason for existence means it's going to fall completely.
The world is going to progressively become so much more interesting as the things that commonly make up most of modern Western society, that were designed and built by White Men, continue to wear out and be lost or replaced by things designed and built by a variety of diversity hires.
And I shall sit on my porch with my feet up on the rail, sipping a single malt, petting my dog, and observing the entire drama from a great distance (and with no small amount of wry amusement) to wait for the wreckage to stop smoldering.
The best part is that the people who, in years past, I would have been able to let go with a simple, "I told you so", I will then be able to allow daylight to pass through them, unimpeded, right in my own front yard. And still sleep like a baby.
