    “wtf are you on about? Oranges have been banned for 10 years.”

    “I’m eating one right now.”

    “You’re a liar, prove it.”

    “I’m not going to take a picture of myself for you. What kind of idiot thinks oranges are banned?”

    “Oh yeah, prove they’re not.”

    “Prove oranges aren’t banned by the government? How the fuck?”

    “See, I rest my case”

    “You fucking idiot…[3 hours of research and case law into it being legal to eat an orange] here you happy?”

    “Oh well they banned them in my country (of 6 people).”

    Me: “I don’t like social media…”

    Random Person: “So basically what you’re saying is you hate technology? You also failed to mention emails, blogs, and podcasts. I’m literally shaking.”

    After a few years of every argument ending in “educate yourself” the people went out and decided that they could.

    Unfortunately, education is best practiced by people who have an understanding of the subject matter. That’s whe teachers are valuable.

    Now everyone is an expert and we have rampant conspiracy theories because a bunch of people consider watching one YouTube video degree equivalent education.

    It’s almost like “outrage culture” or “hipster social justice”, people constantly trying to one-up each other over whatever unique/obscure social wrongs they can find or just trying to twist people’s words around to make them seem insensitive or intolerant. Even the terminology can’t even be agreed upon sometimes because it’s constantly being updated, it’s like trending hashtags almost.

    It’s fine to care about something and try to bring awareness to these causes that people might not ever know about, but you don’t have to beat people up about just not knowing something. You can educate without insulting. I particularly notice it within certain communities and one community is particularly militant to the point of attacking neutral bystanders or people that might otherwise support their cause.

    If there was ever an award for the most accurate on point meme ever, this would be a contender.

    The insanity of believing someone cares which fruit you prefer is just accepted as the “normal” part of the meme here, and that’s pretty interesting to me as someone who didn’t have the internet in their home until high school.

    Then someone always proves them right! Now they have “haters”! It’s amazing. This internet thing could have been cool.
