Evil

Gen Z Degen

Chill Evil

For Gen Z, any meeting in person, especially at work or from a friend group, is extremely verboten. Also, to them, doing something for any romantic purpose — like taking a class because there’s a girl there you like — is to them automatically unethical and the worst thing in the world.

Of the top 10 ways people used to meet commonly, almost all of them are now considered harassment and abuse by that (completely mentally fucked up) generation. What did we do to them? How will they ever recover? To be honest, I don’t think they will. They are maladapted for everything thanks to social media, smartphones, developmental delays due to helicopter parenting and insulation from the real world. Also, Covid and the non-existent (according to Covidians) lockdowns did not help.

We really did that generation a disservice. We turned them into miserable Church Ladies without even the comfort of religion, degenerating by the light of a smartphone screen.

Arms and Harms

Chill Evil, Tech

This is true. And is not true of US tech companies, no matter what you’ve read. The Chinese tech companies are quite literally arms of the CCP; Microsoft is not an arm of the CIA.

Mental Frailty

Chill Evil

Definitely worse, and hardly anyone talks about it. Any woman that subjects herself to this is extremely mentally ill (And also undateable, not that this part matters to me. But it does to a lot of people!). Women’s mental health in the US has been destroyed by stimuli they are not prepared to handle.

As Reasonable

Chill Evil

Nuclear power haters are so weird and detestable. Like, we find free magic rocks that spew power with 1/1000 the impact1 of fossil fuels and we…just don’t use them.

Because people are a little scared. And we treat this as normal and these people as reasonable.

  1. Yes, even including nuclear waste storage and maintenance.

Cult of Mediocrity

Chill Annoying, Evil

I think this is largely true. Sydney is attractive, intelligent, clever and business-savvy — and is not apologetic about any of those things. This damns her as far as the left goes as they have a horrible case of Tall Poppy Syndrome. They deeply, deeply desire to punish anyone who is obviously exceptional in some way.

That’s also what is behind all the buffoonery lately regarding the claims that everyone is exactly the same and no one is smarter than anyone else (and if they are, it’s for bad, “fake” reasons, and if the reasons aren’t fake, they should be, dammit).

Sydney is everything they wish they could be but are not; that galls them and makes them want to hurt her.

Always About Control

Chill Evil

It’s such a dumbass clownish piece-of-shit asinine idea that if you can customize the appearance of your software, somehow that will cause meemaw to send all her money to Nigeria.

First, she’s gonna do that anyway. Second, that increases security basically not at all while preventing knowledgeable users from doing what they want.

Which is actually the point. It was always about control. In the specific case I care about the most, the Firefox developers even specifically said they wanted to control what the users do because they knew the “right” way to use the browser and the “right” way is should look and operate.

Security was just the flimsy excuse. It was always about exerting power.

Prefer Rents

Chill Annoying, Clowns, Evil

Average liberal: Your preferences and tendencies are just what they are because you grew up in a certain social environment! If you’d grown up in Ghana or Thailand, they’d be totally different!

Average non-doof: Ok, what is your point here, exactly? That if everything had been completely different than it was, they’d be completely different? Brilliant. I commend your perspicacity.

(While there are some valid arguments around the Rawlsian veil of ignorance and the universal lot of humanity and the commonality therein, the average liberal is not making this argument and probably does not know who John Rawls even is; rather, they just want to give your shit and your country to some third-worlder because they “deserve” it more than you do.)
