Youtube/Reddit are full of "enlightened" narcissistic drones who will repeat the same information over and over again. There's is no real discussion anywhere online, (or in real life for that matter).
On many videos/posts you'll find nothing but stupid nonsense comments like go outside, touch grass, therapy, 2 weeks, take your meds, schizo, chad, based, cringe, unfunny memes like "no one: " etc etc etc. what the heck is this braindead newspeak? Who created and approved these terms? And why does everyone only reply with like 1 or 2 words now? A lot of the time this all feels like a personal attack on me.
To be honest the way I see things "they" are trying to get real human beings into a corner where they'll have no option but to:
- Cave into social pressure (follow the herd). This option is deleterious to individuality in a world where it's NOT impossible for everyone to hold the exact same ideas and opinions, being constantly and completely programmed by god knows who.
- Face the (social) challenges of not being an NPC. The one and only path for a stubborn rebel like me.
The most sensible stopgap seems to be disabling/blocking the YT comment section along with certain websites, as well as interacting only on specific (trusted) Discord/Telegram servers. It's the only remotely tolerable way to MAYBE have a proper discussion.
This way, I won't get overly distracted by all the random nonsense and I'll still be able to access everything I want to.
If anyone knows a website/forum in which minimally rational/sensible humans can interact with ease on a wide variety of topics, please DM me and u/NPCmillionaire.
