So I've noticed a new strain of vitriol out there, the once voiceless kids without futures or hope stewing in their anger and spouting bile for often very silly stuff. From cell phone discussions that get way too passionate, to spouting dehumanizing stuff about trivial topic.....guess the net's always been a place for Crazed loonies to gather but these days (in general not only this forum) it seems like you can't read a comment section on ANYTHING without some venom.

It's usually people with conservative values, mediocre intelligence, shytty or no jobs, and absolutely no hope for girlfriends or social interaction besides porno - It's like they seem to completely lack any empathy &view themselves as geniuses because they have fundamental computer skills. Ok granted part of it's the power of anonymity so yes, some of them will just die in their basements without bothering anyone - but I'm a bit worried, with video games training them (I don't blame the games, blame the players) & nihilism in their soul, real talk anyone else worry that we have a bunch of Columbines coming up in the future? :lupe:

Yeah i noticed that the last 5 years or so. The internet always been a place for weirdos, armchair quarterbacks, and keyboard warriors. The new hybrid shyt to me is the abundance of trolls and flamers. It's gotten to the point that you cant even read comments sections anymore because they're full of inflammatory nonsense. Articles about completely nonpolitical subjects are full of people blaming everything outside of the rising sun and ocean tides on Obama. I swear a good portion of them have to be some new Cointelpro govt program to keep people distracted from the real issues at hand.

The internet is like beer muscles. People get real brave cause they behind a screen. They can spew the most irrational shyt out their mouths, and never have to face repercussions. When they out in the real world they wonder why they can't hold a decent convo with a person, or why they are wall flowers at a party.

You disscribed 98% of this forum :comeon:

This....is....purely...coinicdental know? either way the elite 2%'ers on this forum thank them kindly for musings provided.
Its the other way around. A failing American economic/political system is creating these people. The internet is just their outlet and gathering space.

Hmmm plausible viewpoint...I guess a desperate lunge at gaining some online exposure & recognition are chase worthy final traits to aim for, when one's existence becomes a Vacuum.
