Not reporting is bourgeois

I saw a post recently on gutterchan that really resonated with me recently.

Why has everyone become an insufferable asshole recently? In the past five or so years, I have also =NOOTICED== that people have twisted into incredibly aggressive, stupid assholes who constantly hates and undermines everyone around them. This behavior exists both online and offline. Before, it was just a few bad apples you could easily filter out of your communities, but now it seems like every other person out there is a holier-than-thou dickhead with a chip on their soldier.

It has made organizing any political action, creative groups, etc. nearly impossible. Conversations with others always have a hostile undertone to them now. People of all walks of life have normalized extreme behaviors like openly scamming and exploiting others for miniscule, selfish, short-term gain over communal, long-term success.

The greater internet fuckwad theory has always been real, but ever since COVID happened it seems that the mask has slipped from everyone and now everyone is openly gutting each other in any way they can. Lying and cheating others have become normalized, and the open embracing of fascism has been aided by this moral decay in society.

I don't buy that it is just because times are hard. Times have been harder in the past, and people didn't stoop to this level. The moral decay has reached new heights, and it is like everyone has either become the most bourgeoise parasite or the worst type of lumpenprole.

Why is it happening?

>le retvrn
people used to literally kill each other over minor squabbles

>>2415904
Long covid.

People getting poorer. Displaced anger. Can't yell at customers or the boss.

Social media is all about dunking on people or showing people getting humiliated.

Years of reality TV drama, celebrity gossip, everyone wants to be a catty bitch.

Low autism score from industrial pollution, weird stuff in foods.

Fat people aren't jolly.

In the same way that nuclear weapons prevent war through mutually assured destruction, I think the threat of violence keeps people polite and society functional.

But to be honest, people still do kill each other over petty squabbles. Everyone is just so isolated and anti-social now that ironically, it's harder to do. Doxxing is an attempted expression of this desire, as the goal of doxxing is to paint a target on people you don't like and hope some schizophrenic kills them or they get killed in a swatting attempt.

I predict an explosion of violence soon, though, especially as conditions continue to rapidly deteriorate.

>>2415923
I really do think long COVID is a huge culprit that most people haven't caught onto. It's going to be the lead poisoning of our generation if not worse. The studies that will come out in a few decades (if society is even still around) will be mortifying.

>>2415926
i meant that centuries ago it was normal for people to kill each other just for feeling slighted and nobody batted an eye

>>2415923
This but also add microplastics in the brain and shit idk

>Why has everyone become an insufferable asshole recently?
fwiw I'm not a burger and this hasn't happened in my city. Hell someone actually returned my wallet without taking the cash last year.

>20 layers of irony and sarcasm
Ironic detachment is for cowards. It's about the only thing that gets me riled up these days.
Don't fucking bullshit me with "just asking questions" or "joking" about vile racist sadistic shit like "haha wouldn't it be funny if a bunch of brown refugee kids drowned?".
One of the frequent 'rightoid' complaints about libs is how libs are "too serious" and won't take a "joke". I think that's one of their qualities that shouldn't be condemned.
I think it's also a product of a certain upbringing; mainly the sheltered suburban types, who think everything they say is just "words" and never had to worry the person on the other end might be strapped, ready to pull a knife, or will simply beat you to death without anyone every finding out.
Actual lumpen criminals can be some of the most polite you'll come across, because if you live a life like that you already assume the person standing in front of you might fucking kill you.

Meanwhile the most insufferable cunts I've met in my life are these "upper-middle class" types. Who obviously never have had to fear being punched in the face for their smug insults, unfunny jokes and obnoxious behavior.

>>2415911
>>2415929
Should bring that back. I've gotten shit at work for not tolerating customers insulting me or getting visibly angry when they do. But it works.
Normalize everyday violence again. Including corporal punishment.

>>2415926
why did murders increase in the 70s and stayed that way?

I notice the more centralized platforms someone uses the more toxic they are. Someone that uses twitter will be nicer than someone that uses twitter and facebook, that person will be nicer than someone that uses reddit on top of that, etc… Like the brainworms stack and give them a wider pallete of thought terminating cliches to ruin social interactions with.

The bit of digital grasstouching I've done has already made conversations I've overheard at the store sound like illegible shartyspeak. I remember someone at Home Depot ranting about "grocerybros" on the phone, like, a slur for people who buy groceries to make meals instead of going to a restraunt. If I was still using twitter that would've been in my pallete.

It's cultural, I'm being a stupid asshole on this website sometimes because it's funny and I got all the codes from all the other stupid assholes.

IRL? No. We here to do something, you are an asshole you go away, there is no time or energy for bullshit. I knew groups that tolerated assholes and it just fucks with everything, but sometimes it can be tricky to reeducate or expel especially if you accept them and don't correct from the get go.

>irony is…le bad!
Irony is literally just a rhetorical tool

Kill as many e-celebs and influencers as possible before the popo catches you. They are at fault. Make them afraid to show their faces, make them fear real repercussions when harassing random people for viral videos.

>>2415977
<irony is…le bad!
Yes. It's actually bad. It's cowardly, and always has been. Not a single worthwhile piece of "ironic" critique has ever been written.

Low trust due to increased diversity

It's because social media algorithms are driven by profit and what drives most interacting is outrage.

idk i talk to random people from all walks of life all the time and most of them seem pretty friendly even if sometimes deluded

>>2415977
A rhetorical tool out of control can reinforce or become a spook. Master debatists can fool themselves into believing anything.

>>2415904
quintessentially westoid post

>>2415904
Being pleasant and non-offensive is actually incredibly asinine and annoying. It's a kind of social violence where we're all forced into some dull workplace professionalism. It just serves to protect power. Let's put an end to politeness and start a cultural revolution.

>>2415977
It is bad. And every generation thinks they invented it.

>>2416093
>cultural revolution
Towards what end?

You let Eugenics go on for long enough. Everyone must become an asshole. There is no "nice" when such a religion is paramount.

Other than that, unironically Marxism is to blame. It's a system of opportunism and destruction, and so kicking down your neighbor is natural to a Marxist mindset. They look at peaceful masses as cattle to be driven, not partners in their operation. This is reasonable enough because that is the nature of politics, absent anything else that would moderate the values and vices of the participants. You could have a life outside of politics, which Marxism would have nothing to say about. In principle though, the Marxist can attack anything and everything to make it a political matter, if they so chose. It's inherent to the philosophy and why it was effective at infiltrating and "jumping in front". It just so happens that under the political imperatives of eugenism, everything that isn't eugenism must be destroyed and made into a mockery. I'll be glad to see Marxism relegated to a historical artifact.

>>2416096
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-Assholeism obviously. Death to bourgeois standards of workplace professionalism. It's time to tell everybody to fuck off and particularly the nasty ass bourgeoisie.

>>2415969
It's the sheltered suburban types who do social sector and academic work and go on the most about words being violence. Of course, the most violent of these words are "you're fired."

Did something grassroots even go viral the past 10 years or so? Some meme that wasn't in relation to some e-celeb, politics or used as ad campaign for some videogame/movie?

Solid snake labubu (Dubai chocolate and KFC squid game included)

Late-stage terminal unitedstatesianism causes such behaviour, thankfully it has yet to spread where I live

>>2416109
Dunno if this was meant as critique, but I don't think words are violence. But they are serious, or should be, and punching someone for them is entirely justified.

I'm not annoyed by people being frank, but I am annoyed by people being evasive and disingenuous. There's an unmistakable honesty to violence.
Libs are generally "serious", no matter if their stances remain pathetic. But their demand for a return "civility" is equally grating as ironic discourse. It's basically the
>>2416093
>be pleasant, vapid and empty
Which only serves to protect the status quo by dulling all discourse entirely. (Which is worse than ironic detachment)
"Workplace civility" is up there too, and to no surprise exists to protect the feelings of middle management and obnoxious (upper-)middle class clientele. Who will gladly humble brag, insult you, and be shamelessly rude and unreasonable, but then throw a fucking fit if you tell them they're obnoxious and retarded.

>muh bourgeois civility
lol

>over communal, long-term success

you talk like a fag

saying "why cant we all get along" is ultra corny

morality is a spook.
really this has a ton of factors

trump being influential, i mean he is bourgeoise but he lacks their decorum, they would be fine with trump if he was polite while bombing brown people or whatever.

i think the decline of Christianity and religion is a factor too, i say this for right and left. the so called social justice warrior is basically a Christian puritan who says white people suffer the original sin of being white. but the sjw does not forgive, you can not repent in their system.
And the right either larps is a Christian online or plays into a more Nietzschean right agenda, or they are pagans who think jesus is just a jew on a stick.

the internet is also a breeding ground for being asocial, like finding a retarded person and torturing them for entertainment. think chris chans whole thing


but anyways, its the bourgeoise who demands decorum, not the prole, they see the prole as some uncouth dirty outsider

>>2416141
i like to wash down the labubu dubai choclate with monster energy ultra
