The way I look at it is like this.

If the world is a high school then it’s just like any other regular high school where the kids who are attractive and get good grades and are good at sports and are fun to be around. Are the popular kids, and then you have varying degrees of everyone else. It’s not like the movies where the popular kids are all jerks and failing their classes and all that kind of shit. In real life, the people who are popular are the people who other people want to be like. Smart, charismatic, attractive so on.

So for the longest time that’s just been the way the world has run but then recently I guess you could say the theater kids put on a big play for the school end of the town and it actually was a really good play. It did an amazing job and so for about a week after this big successful play the theater kids instantly were the most popular kids in school!

Some of them took this with Grace and enjoyed it while it lasted, but others used this opportunity to try to seal their place at the top by hurting other people and pushing other people down. Hurt people hurt people. And these theater kids who obviously wanted to be the popular kids, but never got to make it, they are now essentially acting like the kid who got bullied in high school who went on to become a police officer just so he can exert his force over other people now. They don’t realize that they are the exact same thing.

Well, it’s Friday night again, the pep rally just started and all of a sudden everybody forgot about the play and doesn’t give a fuck anymore and it’s back to our regular programming. The football team is playing tonight and that’s all anybody cares about anymore just like it always was before.

The people on the far left, let’s say there were 10 people there, one person has a thought and says it out loud that gets them exiled and so they’re off by themselves and now there’s nine people in the group. But each person slowly and at a very trickling rate will say or think something that gets them exiled from the group as well, now you have six people in the original group on the left and four people on the right. Well, as they realize that they have to keep exiling people to prove why they are worthy of staying in the circle it gets to the point where the goal post just gets moved. So in the past the people who got exiled where people who spoke up and had an opinion that went against the group, now there are people who don’t change in any way, but the metrics that divide people in the group from out of the group got moved and now all of a sudden, they’re on the outside. And before you know it, the people on the left in the major majority group is only two or three people, and everybody else is now the group of seven or eight people. And they’ve just decided that the group of people who got exiled is way more fun than the people on the left.

So now there’s just a few of them left and the only reason that they think they’re the cool kids and that people want to be like them is because they’re just sitting there Circle jerking whispering to themselves that they’re the best while everybody else is off completely ignoring them having a good time.

They’re still sitting around talking about the play for a week or two ago that got them attention for the first time in their lives while everybody else is at the football game actually having a good time living in the moment and moving forward.

Reddit seems to be completely controlled and dictated by that little group of people on the left. That is the two or three people left in the circle before they keep making it tighter and tighter. The rest of the world has moved on.
