What's with this meme of watching videos promoting ideas you already agree with.

what's with this meme of calling random shit memes

Mmmmm Napalm · June 19, 2016, 01:24:22 AM

I generally avoid everything of a socio-political subject matter now (well, outside of this site, people here aren't as idiotic as most places). I know what my positions on various issues are, I know why the opposition holds their positions. I just don't care anymore. I'm fed up with the constant hate, negativity, circle-jerks, idiocy, partisanship.

I know there's nothing I can do. I can't say anything, if I did I'd either be ignored or become victim to slander. I'm done.

Because memes are the DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture. They are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair: all memes, all passed on.

Calling random shit that aren't memes memes is a meme in itself, oddly enough.

People love a good circlejerk. It's comforting to know that you're not the only one who holds your beliefs. Also, someone more eloquent than you may be able to articulate one of your shared ideas better than you ever could, making it easier for you to explain your own views succinctly and in a way that makes sense, because you were taught how.

I do try to keep a balance. I'd like to say I watch more alt-right content than leftist content, but it's about equal.

That said, loudmouth YouTubers are probably the bottom of the barrel when it comes to substantive political discourse.

How about full of shit? Is that a meme?

It's never good to surround yourself with people who only share your ideals.
