lowtax's statement that he has hardly ever visited sites like reddit and 4chan is baseless and without merit. especially due to the fact he spent quite a lot of time defending his reputation on kiwifarms of all places.

OldAlias posted:the internet was never fine and cool though, it was always intended to be an exploitative shithole, given that it is a military application to forward US interests. of course the ways in which it has become the particular shithole that it is, is the fault of capitalist bullshit. in the general smart phones and social networks are a dream come true lol
