the funniest quote I have seen in a while
- Thread starter AAP
- Start date
I think this was the best one I've seen today:
"We don't even pretend to like ourselves, each other, or this message board. Every one of us has at least six different monikers that we use to disrupt any interchange that might occur here: we just despise the place, despite spending ridiculous amounts of time and energy here. We come to XO to obsess over status-- glorified as "prestige", but no different thing-- essentially miring ourselves in the mediocrity attendant to concern with other people's opinions.
It seems that this board exists for middle- and upper-middle-class gunners who are educated and smart enough to recognize their insignificance and their doom of servitude to the ownership class: people who are dumber and less educated than us (e.g. the "banking/business pwns law" obsession) but still able to employ us to the implementation of *their* ideas, inferior to ours which will still never see the light of day. It is, after all, extremely fucking depressing to realize that more intelligence and education just make one a better cog, but not one with the clout to rise higher than senior-level implementation. In essence, XO is a multi-gigabyte monument to a defense mechanism.
In truth, a person who did not live a life of servility would not partake of the extreme careerist narcissism and prestige-obsession that drips from this forum. I don't mean to be run an elitist schtick by pointing this out, nor am I saying that I'm any better than this-- I'm just as much of a loser/striver as the rest of you (well, with some exceptions).
Message boards like XO, career-oriented blogs, wikis, and all the other web devices are tools that middle-class careerist strivers use to analyze, criticize, and attempt to circumvent their own servitude and unimportance. These have bred a new type of person, a zeitgeist for the '00s decade: the Slunner. We are gunners because we still believe that we can "make it" by adopting the status signals ("prestige") of the (outmoded and increasingly effete, but still powerful) upper crust-- who use our eagerness only to pwn us. We are slackers because we have lost hope and spend our time talking about status, ballers, "prestige" careers on the Internet instead of doing anything (even something inconsequential and merely symbolic, the best we can hope for) with our lives."
