The Internet and the “Higher Ground”
I’ve been perusing around the internet for about 7 years now and have finally come to one conclusion.
The higher ground, the principled stance, the “above the fray” don’t exist.
It’s basically that simple, if someone doesn’t agree with you, it don’t matter how respected or “intellectual” you are, there will always be someone out there that will try and tear you your ideas or opinions down…….we have finally reached anarchy on a massive scale.
For every opinion or idea there is someone out there who, for shit’s grins and giggles, or other unknown reasons will do their damnedest to insult, humiliate and beat another down polemically.
In other words for the most part internet politics are not something that you do with your gloves on.
Forget the higher ground, because everyone else has.
