It was poverty. Could only afford to employ one
I actually love the internet. Before then, you're the village's "crazy person" for wanting to cross-dress as the opposite gender. (Not that I do that, just an example)
Like crying is just a "girl" thing to do, boys/men aren't supposed to show emotions. Fucking "男子汉大丈夫，流血不流泪" or whatever bs parents say right after they YELL at you. (Wikitionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%94%B7%E5%AD%90%E6%BC%A2 "A true man bleeds but never sheds a tear") Like I literally do not understand it, wtf do people do in a funeral then? Only the women can cry? (Tbf, I probably wouldn't shred a tear given how toxic my parents are 🤭)
I know Lemmings are skeptical of tech, but I love it, just wish it was more FOSS.
Like just one example, now you can keep an encrypted journal that your parents can't break into (I mean unless they are intelligence agents or something), you can record all your interactions for evidence. Or just find a safe space to talk to people. Or just some escapism (tv, movie, youtube, games) to keep yourself sane in a hostile environment.
One idiot even has the most popular podcast in the world and tons of idiots listen to him. Feels like the idiots are in the majority if I'm being honest.
Before the internet:
The village idiot got caned.
After the internet:
The village idiot got a Better Help sponsorship.
Actual doctors are trying to recommend "Betterhelp" 💀
We're so cooked. (forgive me for the Gen Z lingo)
The main problem is now all the idiots can talk to each other
Also people used to fear of being shamed and had to make effort to make themselves not the idiot. With the internet, the idiots are encouraged to be proud to be an idiot.
And when you met the village idiot, they came across as shifty or drunk or something. There's a big difference between being told 9/11 conspiracy theories by someone missing half their teeth in a bar and being told 9/11 conspiracy theories by a Facebook user using auto correct even if it's the same person.
"All you smarty pantses with your fancy literacy and critical thinking skills."
Yeah sometimes the village is full of idiots.
We also believed people was dumb because they lacked access to culture. Boy, were we naive...
there are many villages
And villageidiot dot com is giving them all a place to meet up.
You thought people were saying "the village idiot," but it was the name of the whole town, "the village, Idiot."
Thank you! That's what I'm saying for years. Villages, seemingly, had that one idiot screaming from the market place. Turns out not only has it been more than one village idiot, they're connecting and screaming louder than ever before.
Villages are 51% idiots
Now there are idiot kings everywhere.
VERY wrong 🪑
