      “Notice me Putin Senpai!”

      I have to admit, the number of people who simp for Authoritarians is much higher than I thought it would ever be.

      Imagine posting this drivel on the Internet and you’re not even getting any money for making such a fool of yourself in public

        It seems to happen in a lot of areas today. This generation let a lot things erode because of it. I remember people defending the introduction of ads on to the internet.

        “Its just a 30 second skippable ad. Stop complaining”,

        “so what they collect a little data, they want to gear ads to their audience”,

        “Its 4 consecutive 2 min unskippable ads, who cares. Not the end of the world”,

        “they built a profile of you that lists everyone you know through social media using the tools and methods they learned from these ad systems. The profile lists all your motivations, wants and needs based off your favorite Mr. Beast shorts that they use to target political ads meant to radicalize you and if not you then your friends, Dada, uncles, moms, sisters. Shut up and drink your athletic greens.”
