just a genuine question that i hope will spark some discourse

Theory of alienation

did some digging into that and yeah that is very plausible. capitalism's competitive spirit divides people and makes them compete like rats right??

I think so, there’s some people in my life who I struggle to have a serious conversation with because they always find a way to make it unserious and goofy

i think the fact that society is more self-aware than ever now leads people to be this way. the vast amount of modern content that we consume is very meta and doesn't take itself very seriously

im not on some doomer s*** btw im just trynna get to the root of the problem

Original KTT was so wholesome

Spider p***

RAT RACE

Being able to edit someone else's post in a quote

You need to get out of this country more often. You’ll quickly realize America is STILL one of the most sincere, friendly, and welcoming environments in the world

You wanna see a true lack of sincerity hit up Asia

sincerity in america?

i've been out of the country before and experienced how other societies function and they seem to have more morals than most americans. i don't blame people though; i blame the system

sincerity scares people bc everything we experience online is so curated, its jarring to certain types of people when they see you're not going to play these bs games with them

I notice this alot with people in my age range (early to mid 20s)

people don't want you to be straightforward

idk if the world is 'post-ironic" but its definitely becoming a lot more willing to clutch pearls over minor inconveniences

Revisionism

Were you there in the early days?

The earliest
