I’m so fucking tired of these egocentric smarmy pricks
Okay, I’ll be earnest. Framing something subjective as a self-evident truth is exactly what I said - annoying. An opinion given in the form of “It’s almost like $my_opinion” is an archetypal example of reddit/lib smugness that I strongly dislike. And its construction is repeated and duplicated across so much of social media (or at least those two sites) that it feels simultaneously robotic. It’s autonomous snark, if you follow me. Speaking personally, it triggers such a strong and immediate reaction because I left reddit in part to get away from these endlessly repeated phrases and idioms and sentiments. Does that make sense?
I think your comment might have exceeded their character limit.
Banger comment. I’ve been wanting to research and write on how these phrases and attitudes are so ubiquitous, especially with the rise of the Internet.
