Oof. A lot of truth here.
At least we are self-aware and can have a laugh at ourselves.
Well, some of us can...
Twitter: A rabid pack of shrieking, pitchfork wielding neo-Marxist SJWs ruining people's lives with impunity.
Facebook: their boomer Neo-Nazi anti-vaxxer parents captured by CIA mind-control and agitprop.
Youtube: nothing but low-effort monetized clickbait and also leftist propaganda, because Google.
Instagram: also nothing but low-effort monetized clickbait, but also porn.
Tiktok: CCP propaganda but also for some reason we really like it, at least until the novelty wears off.
Reddit: just mouth-breathing imbeciles posting cat pictures and memes. Good thing we're better than them, and point out that fact to ourselves at every opportunity.
The entire rest of the web: shit, except for 4chan.
Movies: shit.
TV: shit.
Music: shit.
TFA: never bothered reading it, but I'll assume this rant about cultural marxism is relevant.
Books: Do they even still make physical books? I thought paper went obsolete in 2019.
Science: lies, damn lies and statistics.
Media: lies, damn lies and more lies.
Other people: hell.
Emoji: BLIND RAGE
Technology: What is with all these buttons and blinking lights, what does any of this even do? Why would anyone need anything more than a Lisp REPL in a bare terminal?
Code: JAVASCRIPT DELENDA EST. Everything but Rust and Lisp are shit and PHP literally gives you brain cancer.
Society: Ted Kaczynski was right about everything. Burn it all down and return to monke.

Hacker News itself: used to be good, but now it's turning into Reddit. Who let these people in here? I bet half of them have never even written a compiler.
