"I think Chris Chan had the capacity to be a constructive & productive member of society whose life had real useful meaning."
I don't get this line of thinking.
Chris Chan is borderline retarded, possibly actually retarded and certainly mentally ill. There is nothing "high functioning" about his Autism. There would be a time when someone like him would be put into an asylum or a group home.
I don't think the internet or even society ruined him, he clearly could not function in even the best society.
Sometimes "High functioning" just means "can form a coherent sentence" but yes, his only skill in life seemed to be drawing like a small child, and got lucky enough to generate a following on the internet who turned it into a meme.
It's hard to find value in the work of a man who can probably be outsmarted by a bright 6 year old.
This. Chris Chan takes all of society's ills and degeneracy and mirrors it back to us all. In a perfect world, Chris Chan would not exist. Chris Chan can only exist in the clowniest of clown worlds. I mean ffs, he cut his taint open, he raped his mother, he harassed women with signs "I need a boyfriend free girl," and didn't stop even after he got in trouble. Everything is everyone else's fault!
Ergo, Chris Chan is 🤡🌎 incarnate!
Or, as the great philosopher, DesFarts would say, "Clownito Ergo Scum"
Aside from the rape of his mom, how is any of this much different than what hundreds of thousands, maybe even at least a million, of the craziest Tik Tokers are doing these days?
If Chris chan's level of craziness is a 10, most of the people on Tik Tok these days are at least a 7 or 8.
100 years ago someone like chrischan would have a farm labor job moving hay bales and shoveling shit all day. Maybe at the start he would catch a beating here or there for laziness or fucking up but eventually he would catch on. And he would be perfectly happy in that situation because he had a purpose and could see amd feel the results of his efforts every day.
He might have even been paired up with another dim bulb because her father couldnt find a better option in the community. She might even be grateful for the opportunity.
Now all the chrischans of the world live this permanet limbo of adolescence because there is no longer a connection between survival and productivity or competence.
Also, without vaccines to cause autism, the chances of encountering a Chris Chan 100 years ago would have been slim to none. Also, his parents would have given birth much younger, so there is even less chance of autism there.
100 years ago, there just wasn't the same level of commericalized hedonistic indulgence that there is today. Today, it just seems that that is all there is for many people. Most today workplaces are toxic - at least where I live, and - unless you have connections, or a good home life - the work environment is very hard on young people.
If you are a politicial dissident, then you also run the risk of being "red flagged" by corporations and government, for having opposing political views, or being outspoken. I shit you not, they have vast armies of informants and their spook handlers, who will run viscious smear and mobbing campaigns and destroy your ability to find gainful employment. If you move, these groups can network all over the world, and destroy your life there too.
So many young people simply conclude that it's not worth it to work. Youth are robbed of the sense of community, pride, and growth that only healthy and hard work can provide.

Aye, well said. The whole concept of Tik Tok is idiotic and speaks volumes of the short attention span of the average normie.

Uncle Ted was absolutely right.
