"If you'll excuse me, my dinner time is six o'clock. Only gangsters eat at 9 o'clock, after some bootlegging and a hot game of craps."

It was from a few years ago. The thread title was something like "What cultural trend comes after irony?"

Someone responded with something like "authoritarian zealotry" — and given the current trend of wrongthink witch hunts, call-out culture, and pedantic picking at every nuance of the presentation of gender, sex, and race in the media, they were pretty precient.

What I'm saying is that that goon was a prophet and I want him/her/xir/fey honored appropriately.

irony -> authoritarian zealotry is more or less the evolution the forums went through a few years before it happened to society at large and if that trend continues then in 2-3 years when the current wave of bullshit dies down we're in for a period where nobody cares about anything and barely tries and the only universal truth that everyone can agree on is that franco is a stupid piece of poo poo
