    Honestly this. Everyone is always “on”. Everything HAS to be about politics, and if one syllable you utter isn’t cursing Donald Trump and his descendants unto the thousandth generation you’re labelled a fascist. I mean for heaven’s sake I don’t like him, I didn’t vote for him, and I’m counting the days until his term is over, but no that’s apparently not enough.

    Like, please, guys, I’m begging, just let me look at funny pictures of cats and talk about old video games.

      if there is anything i’ve learned, online or not. miserable people hate anyone who isn’t as miserable as they are and will harass and insult you for not being miserable just like them.

      for example, i like my job. this makes a lot of people immediately hostile to me when they find out because they hate their job.

        But I AM a miserable person, and I want to be LESS miserable by coming on here and having fun, but every blessed thread on here has the word “capitalist” somewhere in it. Guys I don’t even necessarily disagree with y’all I just don’t want to talk about the evils of corporate America in this thread that’s nominally about Super Mario.

          life is reductive. it’s not my job to have ‘empathy’ for militant losers who sit around flipping between whining about their lives and then engaging in violent political fantasizing about how they will kill the non believers to the communist cause to usher in the utopia.
