 @669563d8 What do you suppose the effect is on one's brain that sits around and watches this sort of shit all the time? Do you think consuming prolific volumes of videos of people doing terrible things is doing you any good at all?

I think we've proven that by putting it right in other people's faces, that they're not going to  be triggered to go *do* anything that will change these types of events, rather they're just likely to cinch the blinders on tighter and double down on ignoring the collapse.

Until it happens to them or someone they know, then they're packing their bags. 
 @26769ed7 

THIS IS THE COLLAPSE. Tell me I'm ignoring it after telling me to ignore it. 
 @669563d8 Go touch grass

You are addicted to outrage

Please think about the current reward structure of your dopamine hits

You make just as much noise as libtards while making the exact same level of effort as them to do something positive for your local, IRL community

The collapse is only a foregone conclusion because your nihilism has won your mind 
 @26769ed7 

I'm not ignoring your manufactured high-mindedness.

It's outrage in and of itself.

You came back for more. You think you occupy some sort of high ground.

I don't. I'm just noticing. 
 @669563d8 You have no self-awareness

I’m sick of your noise for a while

Back to mute for you
