Internet Warriors

Internet Warriors are everywhere today. Wow the bravery of people coming out all over social media everywhere you look. It's quite funny actually. The main reason I find it so funny is because the only thing it does is show their ignorance.

When it comes to social media I spend most of my time on X because that's where I like to get my news. I don't spend too much time on Facebook or Tik-Tok because I just find them annoying anymore. But when it comes to X, people are honestly so brave behind that keyboard and they think they're so intelligent. 

Today on X I commented on a video of McDonald's food. The food was "supposedly" to be 17 years old, but it wasn't molded or anything like that. If it was 17 years old, but still looked like you just ordered it off the menu then gross lol. But I commented on it and said this. "I'm 51 and haven't died yet from their fries lol. I will keep enjoying them until the end." So, mostly I was joking around just trying to be funny but I do occasionally enjoy a large french fry from McDonald's. Not long after my comment all of the internet warriors started coming out telling me things and being SO serious about it.  A lot of people don't get my humor, but I do love to joke around quite a bit. 

One lady commented, "If you just knew how old that grease was and so nasty blah blah blah" and left a poop emoji. Some other woman commented, "How fit and how long can you run on eating that." and yet another poop emoji. So this is what annoys me about all these "FIT" internet warriors. I guarantee none of them eat healthy or go to the gym or even walk. Do they really actually think that eating at a fancy restaurant is any healthier? It just honestly cracks me up.  Actually, I feel like going to get a large fry right now lol. You can pretend to be anyone you want to be on the internet because you can be fake about your true life. But that's okay because most people usually get found out about it at the end of it all. That's why I'm the same person in person as I am on the internet. Be careful people. There is always someone smarter than you watching.

Last night a very popular man I follow on X with over 76 K followers was literally getting attacked by an internet warrior who had less than 200 followers. The person was calling him horrible, outrageous, vulgar names. The anger in this person just because he didn't agree was disgusting. I only have 578 followers on X and slowly growing more and more as I interact with more people everyday, but if I disagree with someone, I usually keep scrolling. Wow that's so difficult to do! NOT! Just keep scrolling, just keep scrolling. Be like Dory the little fish. It's really okay to not argue with everyone you don't agree with on the internet. Especially when everyone's going to get mad at you for attacking someone that is a true American who posts real news about America. 

We all see it everyday, everywhere we go on the internet. It's saddening. It does make you think how these people live their day to day lives out in the real world when they're not being an internet warrior. Our world is literally going insane and if you think about it, it's truly scary. 

My question to all the internet warriors out there, do you actually sleep better at night treating people so horrible?

So next time, before you think you're The Incredible Hulk while you're typing up a storm telling someone that their opinion is wrong because they don't think the way you do, why don't you also keep on scrolling. You will be much more happier and a better human being.

Until tomorrow!
