MODERATORS
The internet allows people in small minority groups to gather virtually and speak loudly as one. Be they trans people or fucking idiots.
I think what surprised us all is just how many fucking idiots there are. I mean, before the internet, there was always one or maybe two in a social group the other's needed to keep in check. They were dispersed somewhat evenly throughout society. But, now, they just find each other online and there's no one nearby to watch over them, or tell them they're stupid and to shut up.
We've gone from the village idiot, to villages of idiots, and now the gospel of idiocy praise unto the king of morons and his flock to punish the sinners of critical thought.
There really is no shortage of people who are incapable of thinking critically or that not every issue is black, white, left, or right to be solved with upvotes and likes.
