So I understand why shit posting is addictive. You get the rush of joining a mob without having to put on pants. You get to heckle politicians and mock the rich and harass people who have committed the crime of existing without your permission. To true online chuds, the only true happiness is making the happy unhappy by any virtual means possible. Cruel replies, creepy DMs, threatening emails. This is not real power but it gets the juices flowing, it’s like smelling a neighbor’s cooking when you’re hungry, and then your mouth watering.
