Look when I have had to tell a scumbag the same rules three times politely and they keep breaking them anyway…
I gave them chances. It is now my perogative to tell them exactly how fucking stupid they are and why and that I am sick of dealing with their loser shit.
If they can’t deal with escelating consequences they are fucking babies and deserve even further ridicule and isolation.
The reason we live in a shameless society is because we allowed these people to publicly be shameful without completely ostracizing them from society. They learned that they can be shameful and it doesn’t matter.
In early human tribes ostracisation from the tribe was basically a death sentence. Honestly insults are nicer than that.
Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.
-Margaret Atwood
Don’t let stupidity turn into evil by worrying about it’s fucking feelings.
That very same behavioural pattern actually kept the stupid at bay - up until the internet happened.
The internet, for all its positive effects, also gave the stupid they would’ve previously lacked if they allowed their stupid to show too much: community. It allowed even the most fringe idiots like conspiracy theory believers, to openly be dumb again - because there’s no longer a risk of being alone. They found “their people”, so to speak. And even if everyone else locally thinks they’re a moron… why does that matter when online there’s thousands who egg each other on and provide that much needed social connection?
All of that can be achieved without insults. They do not carry utility beyond offloading your own frustration onto someone else.
It’s a bit like name-dropping in a sense that almost everyone does it despite knowing perfectly well how it’s received when someone else does it to you. It’s hard to resist in the moment and it feels good to do but it never achieves what one hopes it would. Unless the intention is purely to insult without anything good coming out from it, that it does achieve, but that’s also the definition of evil: doing bad with the sole intention of hurting people.
