Abe Simpson said “I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!” but today’s “it” is vapid, misinformational, and malicious.

    Not denying what was always here, but its a different kind if shit, a different kind of fuckedness.

    The internet was beautiful because as fucked as it was, the motivations were personal. If you posted gore in 2005, it was because you had a fetish, were proud of your work, or wanted the personal validation of a reaction.

    Now its always some propaganda shit. It’s manipulative and hierarchal and crap. All managed, and now created, by some fucking algorithm designed to own you.

    Edit: there’s no human to touch on the other end.
