There's plenty of people I don't like and I spend basically no time thinking about them. Why these people let Elon live rent free in their minds is beyond me. Not a day goes by without a thread about him on the front page along with the most predictable comment section imaginable. Apparently the glue holding Lemmy together is the mutual hatred of certain things and people. That's just sad. We're giving them what every asshole in the world desires the most; attention.

Ok, but not every random asshole is the richest guy in the world...

And what does that have to do with anything?

You don't understand why people might more frequently discuss the actions of someone with enormous power and influence, than they would those of Darryl from high school?

This is recreational outrage. There are plenty of actually bad people out there that cause tons of suffering and are aspiring to make the world a worse place but instead people are complaining about some tech bro that's hardly any more influencial than the Kardashians.

The only thing more insufferable than celebrity worship is celebrity hate.

And every day someone posts about how everyone else posts about something that they, personally are not interested in. I guess everyone else is wrong
