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?
When browsing reddit? A pet peeve? I don't know, I guess it's the fact that it's the modern distillation of all the most hysterical, cult-like, mob-like, cognitively dissonant traits of the human animal, masquerading as some kind of social interaction and discussion.
This was always true of forums to some extent; to blend in you have to play the invisible online social game. But with reddit's upvote culture, its infiltration by cultural and social engineers, and the fact that it became the single default forum for the Western internet, there's never been a more poisonous example. There was never a single sub I found, large or tiny, that was free of the reddit overmind, with some kind of feminist or tranny subversion crawling in the shadows. I think this goes hand in hand with the metastasis of the modern left into a religious crusade against anything unwoke. In the 2000s you used to find people of all stripes in all forums, but the leftists wouldn't necessarily set out to destroy the fabric of the community just because there was diversity of opinion there. Different now.
Anyway sorry to derail your barely-disguised rant about George Carlin. I think he's overrated too but it's questionable he would have been in support of the current regime. He was a hippie leftist into conspiracies and such, more likely he would have turned out like Jimmy Dore. Who I don't like either, but he at least falls outside the 2 flavours of human being acknowledged to exist by reddit.
