red sox 777

Rating: 1.5 stars

In the world of the Politics Topic, you either post or you don't. There's no in-between. Because once you start posting, you are pulled by a strand of clauses and punctuation into the black hole that serves as the intense vortex of that series. And that vortex's gravitational pull is built around self-masturbatory pseudointellectual bullshit that really serves no real purpose. Gaslighting and supposedly faithful attempts to eradicate misinformation are coupled with intentionally-crafted opinions designed to incite anger and response. Self-importance and winning seem to be the order of the day in those topics, and red sox is less of a human and more of user to me. That might seem like an extremely mean thing to say, and like I've said, I'm a pretty hypocritical person. There is a load wrong with my attitude and my history on the board, and I'll be the first to admit it. But I'd like to think everything wrong I've done has at least be honest to my character as a person, such as it is. redsox comes across as a false front, something designed to shield a soft, likely sensitive, interior that is battered around in the real world. On Board 8, posting gives everyone the opportunity at a pulpit, and I think a user like redsox clamors for that pulpit, that opportunity to have a little bit of control of a narrative, and in the effort to maintain a grasp of that limelight, warps from a person to a user, a caricature designed to grip tightly to the attention until it slips completely from his grip, so that his nails are digging deep into his own palms.
