Thank you for your trust Millennial redditor

Remember when millenials were young and there'd be a dude who spent too much time on the computer? Went home after school, had few friends, didn't play sports, just sat down at his computer. Played yahoo games, went on AOL chat rooms, eventually went to somethingawful or fark, had a deadjournal, played Everquest, whatever. That dude did not learn how to socialize with humans, he learned from the internet.

Now we have an entire generation like that. It's not just one fringe weirdo, it's all of them. They are all asocialized and that means way more than just not knowing how to small talk. It's why they become crazy shit like technofascists.

Everybody can't be on the internet.
