I’m generally chill with keffals but god damn unless you’re about to drop the next fucking Epstein-level scandal, which I doubt, dial it back. you’re not the next Lenin just because you’re dropping Google Docs.
You get this vibe from, like, microparties too. when they post like they are ushering in the revolution or commanding significant power when they don’t exist outside of Cleveland and are the product of 3 consecutive splinters. We get to grandiose-post when we have material power, but we don’t have material power, so it just comes off as… well, sad.
Sorta like in Disco Elysium’s endgame when
the deserter’s just refusing to move on and adapt to the present conditions, living vicariously through his past achievements and pretending he’s still fighting the good fight but in the present he’s just executing on his petty grudges and calling it politic.
It’s… what, pathetic? Pitiful? I don’t know the right word for it. It’s sad and it spiritually hurts when I read shit like this and remind myself how unreality this stuff is even though I’m not the one making myself out to do this as a public figure.
The Internet is fine if it's used as a repository of human knowledge. It's by and large terrible if used for socialization. Take Youtube for example. Youtube is at its best and most useful when you're searching for "how to do X" whether it's how to bake a cake, how to take apart a rifle, or how to get rid of weeds. Youtube is at its worst and most detrimental to society when the videos are about drama bullshit or diving into the vapid lives of Youtubers attempting to form a parasocial relationship with their marks.
Remember that you're talking about a website owned by a massive international corporation that is not optimizing its design for pro-sociality. What equivalent websites would look like if it was deliberately designed not to drive ad revenue but to help society is hard to say from where we are.
