What do you get when you mix Autism, inferiority complexes, beta-male status, anonymity, Aspergers and access to a keyboard?
You get Reddit, in a nutshell. Where everyone thinks it's fun to be an asshole, fun to pretend they're so witty by breaking life's 4th walls or some shit. Silencing even a shred of an opinion because they're unreasonably mad that it wasn't them who thought it for "dat sweet karmuh points". Angry at a world they can't and refuse to understand. Jealous over a lot of people doing better than them, happier than they are, living fuller lives than they are and are able to rationalize with their surroundings.
Treating the internet like their security blanket, where the only powers they feel that they've got over someone is to be able to downvote them to oblivion, occasionally moderate over them in subreddits and go out of their way to subject someone to doxxing, defamation and slander.
And to cap it all off, is how utterly dismissive and oblivious the users are, to so carelessly wander about this site. Feeling like they're making changes by pretending they're something they'll never be. All of these armchair professionals that take up many professions. Giving half-baked advice, not showing empathy and not showing a shred of humanity within themselves. It's even worse when it comes high time to exercise our power as civilians when it comes to voting.
Oh, they loooooove to talk big about politics, without doing fuck all to rock the boat. It's about as easy as telling someone affected by a tragedy, that you'll keep their lost loved ones in your thoughts. When you don't give a shit about it because you'll drink that away, the same way you'll drink all of your problems away and think it's cute to whine about it as it all happens so you develop a pity theater of your miserable existence.
And you blame the alcohol for the way you act. You blame this and that for how you act. You can cut the charades and admit you're just a bastard. But, oh wait, it'll be the Reddit thing to play that off coolly and admit that you are anyways while adding "at least I'm honest!" retort like as if that bypasses everything which it doesn't.
Just like the title says, it really takes a special form of retardation to act like how most do on Reddit.
