@KnightShade

I'm just fed up with idle chatter. It accomplishes nothing apart from making the speaker feel like they're helping.

[ArenaSnow]

They just accused me of premeditated awson. Please confirm.

@Awson

Joking about things is a way people can deal with it, I mean I don't want people to really become comfortable with it though. It's also a way everyone can talk about it to build a consensus to support action, although of course that consensus may just be a bubble. Narcissism is a huge part of social media culture, I don't think it particularly takes away from action though.

I think there are also cases where it has helped. Like Owen Jones springing up a protest over the Trump state visit basically over night on twitter, resulting in thousands of protesters and millions of petition signers. He got his agenda all over the UK media. Surely the social networks that requires are partly formed around 'clever' comments. Someone makes a dumb joke about Trump, its not just virtue signalling, it's a lighthearted way of signalling your political views. You friend or follow them or whatever, and whole networks can build up around stupid Joe Biden jokes.

[Awson]

Well it's annoying.

[Keyguyperson]

Nice clever spins, guys.

@Awson

Thanks you too

Stability is a luxury for civilizations... Usually it's a damn mess that survives simply due to the people being robust in how they adapt to whatever the fuck happens. Go on, throw your nukes, we can just rebuild it in a couple decades anyways! (Also a nuke war would increase job openings)
