One of the most valuable lessons of the internet age is the death of satire. Nothing is too stupid and ridiculous to not accidentally get true believers if you keep the joke running
I'm not saying it didn't change. Just saying that its initial reasoning and popularity wasn't insidious.
I mean the origins are relevant when the person I was directly responding to originally did not make that distinction. Even if we were talking in the broader sense, the origins ALWAYS matter because it can tell you a lot about how things progress and change. The interactions with various different groups or variables. I'm going to go ahead and make sure I'm at least aware of their origins so I can say that i'm educated on the subject instead of blindly stumbling around sharing misinformation.
Also, maybe don't jump into the middle of someone elses conversation and then try to dictate what is and isn't relevant to it. You are not part of it and you do not get a say. I'm out.
