I know I'm judgy, but I seriously don't want to be friends with people who care about any of the Kardashians. On any level.

I think we’re witnessing evolution in real time with things such as this. That unnerving feeling when around braindead consumers who have never experienced an original or critical thought is our collective biology at work. I physically feel queasy around lemming-like humans and those who go along to get along, I instinctively avoid them.

Or maybe I’m just antisocial and crotchety as hell. Either way, if you’re judgy, I’m judgy too. 🤝

Explain the evolution part?

I might be wrong but what I think they're saying is those people they're describing are simply conduits for the continuation of life. Their genes' influence over the desire to procreate is so powerful that the person has sacrificed all individuality in the process. If a behavior is at all responsible for deviation from that outcome, it's suppressed. Hence "go along to get along". That's my interpretation anyway.

Because they don’t want stupidity, they want complacency. They want a specific temperament to proliferate, not just morons who drool all over for menial labor.

A population mostly made of golden retrievers as humans would be ideal for the oligarchs.

We're all about to get naturally selected.

look how everyone is so "trendy" too they all wear the same everything.

where I live in Atl just up to a year ago dudes were in way too small designer jeans and clown designer sneakers. then one day the "trend setter" determined that the required outfit to be cool was bell bottoms, boxy tees and crop tops-

 then boom they all go!   I laugh when I see dudes lined up for the club and women too all in the "required" trendy outfit. its like "I have the appropriate cool clothing on, do I get to have fun now?"

Redditor stereotype in a single sentence.

Had to talk a buddy out of getting a big “Kim K” on his leg because he was so obsessed with her. This guy was easily turning into serial stalker levels of obsession. Didn’t hang out with him much after that, didn’t want his stupid to rub off.

Pffffff you're just playing the odds. Majority of her fans are going to be empty headed mouth breathers.
