Resistance is Futile.

in theory that's true. and pushing against one another has generated enrgy in the past as well as fuelling tensions but for the last year or more its been broken. the suspicions and paranoias and resentments have overiddden anything useful and i cant see any way to fix it. there's people here i really want to talk to but every time i try some outbreak of madness happens. i just want to talk to my pretend friends without getting heckled and accused of withcraft.

Maybe this is all because we are losing sight of a common purpose. We have nothing to talk about so we start talking about how we talk.

we never had a common purpose as far as i can remember. theres something about the present social media driven climate which is making co-existence impossible, driving tensions to fever point and oppositions to all out war

Likes make everything more like school. Cliques and resentment. They make it too easy for views to be validated without dialogue, so reinforce narcissism and tribalism, dramatic statements over conversation. Like if you agree!

I honestly don't recognize this effect. I don't think the mood in here right now is even remotely redolent of Twitter oneupsmanship and posturing and antagonism. Maybe I'm just blind to it, I don't know.

FFS.

I was going to say that Barty is a real loss, certainly not the malign influence its being suggested he is and it would be great to have him back. That everyone should just calm down a bit, take a step back as all of this stuff is eminently avoidable with just a bit of personal restraint, and that its also been great to have Luka back and that people should be commended for keeping their worse instincts in check...
