Look, I’m about to say some shit that would get me booted from any social platform with a shred of sensitivity. But guess what? I’m not here for your participation trophies or your trigger warnings. If you’re looking for the sugar-coated, politically correct version of reality, turn back now. This isn’t for you.

We live in an age where basic human decency gets confused with an endless supply of victimhood medals and online outrage. You can’t say a damn thing without pissing someone off—and the same people crying about being oppressed are often the ones who can’t handle a decent roast without running for cover.

So here’s the deal: I’m not holding back. I’m about to drop truths that are too hot to handle for the masses, but you—if you’re still reading—are made of stronger stuff. You can handle the discomfort. The laughter at your own expense. The uncomfortable self-reflection.

These aren’t your run-of-the-mill, “everyone is special” clichés. No, these are the things you’re not supposed to say out loud. The stuff that’s way too spicy for public consumption. And you? You’re here for it. So buckle up, because I’m about to go in.

No mercy. No censorship. Just pure, unfiltered, brutally honest thoughts. Ready to feel uncomfortable? Good. Let’s get started.



Not Everyone Deserves a Voice—Some People Just Need Wi-Fi Limits

Alright, let’s get one thing straight: not everyone deserves a voice. And I don’t care if it hurts your feelings. The internet’s given way too many unqualified idiots a platform to spit out nonsense like they’re the second coming of Plato. Newsflash, Karen—your opinion on the latest celebrity breakup doesn’t hold the same weight as the guy who invented the damn internet.

Look, it’s not about free speech or “censorship,” it’s about basic survival. Some people should simply not be allowed to broadcast their thoughts. I’m all for people being able to say whatever dumb shit they want, but let’s be real—some opinions are like public restroom graffiti. Just because they’re there doesn’t mean anyone asked for them. And honestly? The world would be better off if a lot of these people’s Twitter accounts got hacked and permanently locked in a dark, digital basement somewhere.

We’ve all seen it. The guy who’s never read a book but will tweet you 20 times a day about the state of the world. The girl who barely knows the difference between “their” and “there,” but has a hot take on why everyone should be vegan. The same people who’ll tell you how “brave” they are for voicing their “controversial” opinion, yet they’re too scared to leave the house without their “The Future Is Non-Binary” hoodie.

And no, I’m not saying everyone needs to be an intellectual or a philosopher. But can we please stop pretending that just because you own a smartphone, you’re suddenly the world’s foremost expert on everything from geopolitics to how to make a decent cup of coffee? It’s called the Dunning-Kruger Effect, look it up.

Here’s the thing: silence is underrated. The next time you feel the urge to share your completely uninformed thoughts on some viral topic, just take a deep breath and ask yourself—is anyone actually going to benefit from this opinion? Or am I just adding to the toxic swirl of shit already flooding the internet? If the answer’s the latter, then do the world a favor and close the app. The world’s not asking for your opinion on pineapple pizza, Steve.

Some people just need a Wi-Fi timeout. Take a break from the internet, maybe touch grass, and stop pretending your dumb shit is anything more than noise. Because, trust me, the world isn’t missing much.


Victimhood Is the New Narcissism

Let’s talk about this victimhood obsession that’s taken over like a damn plague. Seriously, it’s like everyone’s competing for who can be the most “oppressed.” It’s as if people woke up one morning and thought, "You know what’s really cool? Being a victim." And it’s not just a few—oh no. It’s like the entire internet has been swallowed whole by this insufferable need to one-up each other in the “who’s more fucked over” race.
