EmpLemon!O7ON»- · @EmperorLemon y Tweet A 4th Jul 2020 from TwitLonger I am Quarantining Myself from Twitter. The past few months on this site have been the worst I've ever seen. Last month I muted every single account on my feed because the amount of frothing rage and vitriol I witnessed on a daily basis were mentally taxing. The silence was bliss. At that point I realized that I would be better off just not engaging with any content on this site. I tried to return to business as usual, but this site has simply become irredeemable to me. The people on this site are the absolute scourge of humanity, and I mean that without a shred of irony or hyperbole. It's insufferable. People like to gossip about "infamous" online places like 4chan, Kiwifarms, etc... None of these sites come close to just how nasty people can be on twitter dot com. On Twitter, being angry is not just an expectation - it's treated as a virtue. This site is systematically designed to infuriate people, and keep them in a constant state of deranged paranoia. Human beings are not meant to live in continuous rage. There was once a time when we could distract ourselves with movies and sports - but now there is nothing but perpetual, militant fury on this website. It is no longer escapable. People are no longer allowed to simply exist. You must dive head-first into the meat-grinder of progress and justice, or else you are as guilty as the most despicable super-villain on Earth. We live in a post-forgiveness age. Everyone is to be treated as a superposition of the worst transgressions they have committed in their entire lives with no room for improvement or personal growth. Apologizing is like pissing in the wind, and you'd be better off saying nothing, because nobody here will cut you the slightest bit of slack. The same people will hop on their soapbox and preach how others should extol the virtues of fairness, tolerance and justice. They will not treat you fairly. They will not tolerate you. They will wish death upon you based on blind accusations with no evidence. How just of them. The brilliant freedom-fighters of this website will seize every opportunity to warn you about the ever-imminent threat of Nazis, Russians, the f------ Mongolians...the list of future evil terror groups that will cut out our tongues and r--- our sisters is infinite. Be afraid. The Nazis are one step away from overthrowing society, and the only thing stopping them is me doxxing and gaslighting this 15-year-old who shared a meme containing the N-word. Be very afraid. You wanna talk about fear? I am afraid to post anything on this site anymore. I am afraid to say the wrong thing, and have an angry mob of zealots go out of their way to sabotage my entire existence. I am afraid that someone will literally track me down, put a gun to my head and blow my f------ brains out. Because of justice. And fairness. And tolerance. Twitter has done this to me, and they have done this to the person who would do this. I am convinced that this person already exists, the nature of this site has radicalized them to the razor's edge, and all I need to do to trigger this sequence of events is say the wrong thing in a tweet. Last year Etika threw himself off a bridge. Everyone wept for him. I laughed. I laughed because these same mourners are the ones who perpetuate the very circumstances that would force someone off a bridge. This week Reckful killed himself. Before the end of this year, some other online figure probably will too. This will continue with increasing frequency and severity. But that's okay. Just keep on posting the number to the suicide hotline, and then go back to the mob and relentlessly brutalize your next victim. This website is infested with sanctimonious ghouls who will cry for Etika and immediately terrorize some other at- risk personality as a part of your endless thirst for fairness, tolerance and justice. Remember. You are not the problem. You are a kind and virtuous person who has never made a mistake in your entire life. Those other people - they deserve the hate. They deserve if because they are unkind, they lack virtue, and their mistakes shall not be forgiven. Welcome to the Downward Spiral. I am done engaging with this platform in its current state. I may come back when sports and movies return; I may not. I will still post updates about personal news and new YouTube uploads, as well as surveying my audience for research purposes; but otherwise I am done pouring fuel on this greasefire. My DMs will remain open if you wish to talk to me like a human being. Have fun at the bottom of the Downward Spiral. You all have sunk lower than I ever could.

I'm reminded of the ancient Pharisees and how they were accused of the ancient equivalent: being needlessly pedantic and legalistic about the details of the law and making it a burden while simultaneously neglecting what the law was trying to teach about justice and compassion and mercy. There's a reason they got dunked on so much.

"Last year Etika threw himself off a bridge. Everyone wept for him. I laughed."

I just know that some cunt is going to take this line out of context and assume that Emp is a bad person, it is how most of Twitter operates after all.
