There are hundreds of QTs from Nazis talking about how they were the smartest kids ever but the damn (((education system))) hampered them, and anyone who doesn't believe that they're hyper geniuses is simply a seething lib.
You're supposed to get over the "I was a gifted kid" stuff by the time you're 20.
I don't know how adults can't self-reflect and see that what they thought when they were a teenager is ridiculous. Do they have any contact with highschoolers? Do they not speak to highschoolers and think to themselves "god I hope I wasn't this annoying as a kid" and then realise that they were exactly the same?
I have no idea how they don't realise this.
I found this out in my early 20s by being in the local punk scene. I was like "by God these kids are idiots" and then had the realization that I was just as dumb back in the day. The only big difference between my 16 year old self and these kids was wardrobe because fashions change.
I think the internet has merged adults and kids to a level that makes it impossible to tell the difference at times, which doesn't help.
I've been on TikTok recently trying to acclimatise and prepare for making a go of pushing stuff on there. It has struck me that it solves the problem of both age and gender not being visible online, although it also comes with the downside being a loss of anonymity.
