For one, It's almost universial for us to stress over the future, idealize our childhoods, bemoan the state of society, and be obsessed with and sometimes even claim to spiritually be animals.

I first noticed it in the Hitchens "Hitchslap" videos in the mid 2000's, but I imagine it started out earlier as that when I started following politics and a lot of the videos and those adjacent to them were reposts of cable news shows.

Were Socrates and Plato just the 4th century BC equivalent of them? That's depressing if true.

edit: at the same time, in the same conflict.

I remember reading a few years ago about a conflict in (I want to say) 1980's Latin America where this occurred; however I can't find anything about this with current online search tools. Did I hallucinate this or did this actually, and if so what groups?

On Reddit if you have a new account that wasn't five years old and had over 9,000 upvotes you'd be de-facto banned from 90% of all subreddits by AutoModerator removing everything you posted. Even then if you didn't use proper bracketing or whatever you'd get removed as well.

Part of me thinks this was intentional to get people attached to their accounts that conveniently had their life stories, writing styles, beliefs, likes and dislikes all in one place.
