Reddit's (to some exent, Lemmy too) Misanthropy is kinda oddly unsettling.
I mean, people would joke about ending the world because humans "deserved it", sure funny joke, but I'm starting to be worried if they are just joking or are some people actually planning to "punish" humanity for the wrongdoings of a few politicians that run the world.
Echo toxic sentiments for long enough and people are going to start believing it.
I'm about 95% sure that communities like 4chan, Reddit, Poal, 8Kun, etc are the reason why the American & European political climates are now so fucked.
they wouldn't be quite as negative if the mainstream media didn't only talk about them as if they are evil and scary and bad just because they allow discussion of topics that some people don't like.
Considering how many people joke about wanting to die, who claim they have nothing to lose, are just waiting for “something” then do nothing once fascism shows up and they have a perfectly valid excuse to make a splash for a good cause and still don’t… I don’t actually think we have much to worry about, there’s an incredible disconnect between what people say/do and who they believe they are on the internet and reality
People that correctly recognize the state of the world are naturally antinatalist, if not misanthropic.
We took a world that produced practically infinite food for free and somehow invented credit scores while causing the single fastest mass extinction event in earth's history.
