>being kind and loving will be seen as cringey, mostly done as a competition to combat the passive-agressive hostility rather than out of desire to keep the boomer personality traits alive
I don't know about you, but I'm flocking to the beta crowd. Jesus, I might as well just quit now.

as more of life is encoded on the recursive history of the web, every faux pas carries the weight of not just the momentary embarrassment but the following lifetime of instantaneous unearthing which may be used to discredit a person at a moment's notice
cringes will grow more unbearable on the weight of this millstone provender and this could result in the internet ushering in a new era of lockstep politeness and social conformity to make the Amish seem like radical punks
