Fair points. But I'd also like you to consider this:
A person who frequents a meme board (and one that's far removed from the most popular social media sites) and makes memes, and just made a literally self-conscious and self-referential meme MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE SELF-AWARE THAN YOU'RE GIVING ME FUCKING CREDIT FOR.
I was just pointing out that the world is going fucking crazy under our feet. We are still in the middle of a fucking pandemic, even though people declared it was over two-and-a-half years ago. Fascists are indeed rising up to threaten democracy, across the industrialized world. We're beginning to observe the destructive and unpredictable effects of climate change, even sooner than even the most pessimistic experts predicted. Suddenly, artificial intelligence is literally a threat to some people's jobs, and panic about it might become an even greater threat to the heretofore unchecked march of computer technology, and not even the smartest, most experienced humans on the planet have any clue how to best respond to the situation. Teachers are reporting that middle-school and high-school students are increasingly functionally illiterate, and unable to complete basic mental tasks, leaving us to wonder how the basic machinery of civilization will be maintained, when these kids become the majority of the working population.
All of this is true.
SO DO YOU THINK YOU COULD CUT ME SOME FUCKING SLACK, AND LET ME MEME ABOUT HOW ALL THIS SHIT MIGHT MAKE A MAN FEEL LIKE HE'S GOING A LITTLE CRAZY?
Goddamn. I really ought to just keep my mouth shut, stop contributing any content on any platform, and wait for death. Congratulations, chief. I made this goddamned meme as an outlet, to have a little fun with my anxiety about the state of the world, and you just came along and turned any relief it could have given me into fucking poison. I hope your smug ass is fucking satisfied.
