Kulak<\/a> describes the experiences of crafting takes for the gaping maw of social media and getting … nothing. You might as well not have bothered — we all know how that works, don’t we? But sometimes you catch lightning in a bottle and your post goes viral and then you get the worst kind of feedback:<\/p>\n

People don’t show up to comment “No one gets it”, “Another miss”, “You aren’t funny”, “You’re wasting your life on Twitter” [as they tweet at you], “No one loves you”, “You never get laid”, “you’re a whore”, “you know nothing about BDSM Romance in Desert Storm, nor how that relates to the Czech Surrealism”, “No one cares”<\/p>\n

When you are actually wasting your time and getting no traction, Not a soul alive is going waste their own time EVEN MORE-SO to sit there and commentate your embarrassment and failure.<\/p>\n

Think about it, No matter how much Jehovah’s Witnesses or street preachers are wasting their lives and no one is listening, you’d be wasting your life even more so to sit there trying to persuade them of that fact. <\/p>\n

Indeed the ONLY times you’ll EVER get comments like these … Is when you ARE getting traction.<\/p>\n

It’s really amazing! Countless times you’ll tweet or post something you thought was clever, insightful, drole, important, philosophically or spiritually relevant … And nothing.<\/p>\n

Then one of them Moon-Shoots, takes off to 6, 8, 10 MILLION impressions, 10s of thousands of likes …, thousands of retweets … And suddenly THAT ONE you start getting “No one cares”.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen THOUSANDS of comments, “No one cares” “you’re weird for caring” all on the same tweet, RETWEETS from accounts with a MILLION followers “Who cares what this person thinks!? No one’s listening to them” They tweet out to a million people.<\/p>\n

YOU DO!<\/p>\n

Otherwise you would have just kept scrolling. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Its actually really remarkable the amount of effort, collective work, and social organization that goes into this.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen Tweets with THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS, getting hundreds of retweets and hundreds of comments that “No one cares” … Sometimes these retweets themselves get comments and conversations going in circles “These people really think we care what they think?”, “I know right? They’re obsessed with us, as if we care” and if you’re looking closely you can actually see various followers of the people who “don’t care”, Comment themselves that they “don’t care” beneath their favorite E-Celebrity “not caring” that they also “don’t care”, and then follow their way back to your original tweet to say “We don’t care”, before Retweeting you themselves to say “God, these people. They actually think we care!?”<\/p>\n

Indeed there’s an entire MEME FORMAT \u2014 the only meme as far as I can tell the left has ever successfully created for themselves \u2014 That exists solely to express that they “don’t care”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u201cGiant Thumb Guy\u201d, Look at us Cool people in our group collective, and you outside it, and how we just barely acknowledge you then go back to ignoring you.<\/p><\/div>\n

You see you can tell it’s a leftist meme format because they didn’t use any wojaks or existing memes … Also it’s poorly constructed and uses a redundant three panel format that has been on its way out in memes since 2015.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen various leftists create elaborate Photoshops of this meme … Just to respond how little they care, because that’s what you do when don’t care.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Now admit it, Can you tell a redditor created this? Look at the alt-text that came embedded in the image. (No I don\u2019t actually know what Guilty Gear is\u2026but we\u2019ll be charitable and assume its just a fun and well enough written game and not barely concealed porn)<\/p><\/div>\n

And of course other times their innate violent impulses infect the meme:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Because escalating immediately from words to threats of violence shows how cool and unconcerned you are.<\/p><\/div>\n

“But Kulak!?” I hear you say, in a bout of inner-Redditor cleverness, “You’re a hypocrite! You clearly care too! You’ve written this entire piece so far just going on about how you don’t care, about them not caring, about your thing that you did that they didn’t care about!!! Would you have done that if you don’t care?! A-Ha! We got you!”<\/p>\n

Ugh … Of course I care. This is fascinating. My anthropological instincts are tickled to the core!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Simply fascinating.<\/p><\/div>\n

My working hypothesis is that leftists, a wide cross-section of women, effeminate men, the SSRI’d, men who’ve suffered genital trauma, the unintelligent, the weak willed, and just generally those of poor inner conviction, reason, hormonal health, and disagreeable virtue (but then I’ve repeated myself many times now) … Interpret their emotions and ideas via a complex communicative social environment they maintain with each-other.<\/p>\n

Their minds and reasoning depends on a group, or longhouse, or “Community”, or “friends” … whereas the superior Chad, Chadette, Chud, and Chudette western autists are able to forgo, for extended periods, any need for such a social mental framework or even forego such “friends” and “community” entirely.<\/p>\n

Thus, like the apex predators they are, these noble solitary creatures are able to rely upon their own superior reason and judgement. Inside of you are two wolves … and one of them is fallacious and gay, and the superior rational man should ignore him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
