It was in the Ancient Days. The Primordial All Father, the Titan Al Gore had just finished forming the internet from the primordial ether of DARPANET, a power long forgotten. From the Internet were formed the first realms, Goatse, Spam and Usenet Arguments. Over these were placed three Kings, Some Bearded Rando Linux Guy, Shiva Ayyadurai and Lowtax. In time Lowtax slew his brothers and claimed the Internet for his own, and from it fashioned the second realms, Something Awful, *chans and Shitposting. And from these came all the lesser realms known to idiot grandmas of this day, realms of Twitter and Facebook.

fifty thousand years have passed since humanity left the dying earth behind for a myriad of far-flung colonies. much knowledge of old earth is forever lost, but across the galaxy, humanity venerates a man recognized as the creator of their shared cultural roots, bowing to the eternal wisdom of lowtax

here's an anti-suck post: i was watching the super bowl in a tex-mex restaurant and overheard a group of young people talking about who they're voting for in the dem primary.

not totally crazy. this is a democrat-voting college town. but it's a GOP county where republicans control everything. so it was a little unusual. strangers talking about the dem primary? in their early 20s?

anyways 2016 taught me to go with gut and my gut tells me something is happening. polls are rigged bernie 2020 peace out.

It's only even woke in that they like to say woke-sounding things as a rhetorical tactic; they still don't want to actually help disadvantaged people because that would be difficult and/or require doing things
