There are a lot of annoying things and so many grievances when browsing the forums but I found one particular instance I have always found annoying but recently, reading it got more frequent. When you read on a topic of discussing elites getting scot-free from punishments, I found people often quoting George Carlin's "It's a big club and you ain't in it." which I found annoying as fuck and ironic to boot. If he was alive, he would have been a DNC bootlicker, and probably just as malicious and rabid as say, Keith Olbermann and dismiss the whole fiasco happening right now.
The worst thing is that, there's a lot of truth in it's a big club quote, but when so many people are too much of chickenshit to say the real elephant in the room and refuse to discuss the topic that are quite controversial but has a lot of circumstantial evidence, it's even more infuriating. In the end, the fact that I never really liked George Carlin and always saw him as a bitter phony hack, I found his quote more annoying to read. Can't even understand the reason why people worship the guy when I never found the guy funny.
Is there pet peeve that you find as irritating as the one I got when browsing reddit or normiesphere?
I wish you would have asked this that time I made the mistake of going back onto Faggit after spending some time here. There's a lot of stuff that you don't notice unless you experience its absence, and that applies even to the KIA2 sub. With Faggit it was a bunch of little things, but I'm having trouble remembering and describing specific things. I guess you could say it's the retarded culture over there, and while true it's unhelpfully vague.
One thing I can think of is the pseudo-intellectualism that's rife over there. The "discussions" on that site are what dumb people think smart people sound like. That's because there's an overabundance of retards who only care about being seen as the smartest person in the room. The leftists are the worst about this but no one there is really immune because it bleeds into the culture. I'm sure everyone here has experienced it. They use big fancy words that they barely know the meaning of when simpler language would suffice. The shitty "debate" tactics are another part of this. Nitpicking at minor flaws as if they invalidate someone's main point, constant demands for sources that are never good enough when provided, and more interest in "winning" the debate using shitty tactics than having an honest discussion or bringing up good points. It brings to mind that saying about 4chan and Faggit: 4chan is where smart people go to act dumb and Faggit is where dumb people go to act smart.
I wish the westerners were bit more like Japanese in that respect. Japanese people in general let their disinterest in politics show clearly and they are too busy thinking about politics so they hardly say anything about it. These days, though, they have no choice but to talk about politics when westerners are adamant about spreading the ideology everywhere to Japan.
