Bullshit! The very fact that Leddit has named accounts (however psuedonymous) means that it will never have truly free discourse. If one has a history of their posts, then one's intentions will always be derived — not from the content itself — but from the history of that user's content and the history of others' reaction (upboat, karma) to such content. Since the intention is derived in such a way, the post's authority will be derived in such a way. This misplacement of authority in the speaker, rather than the spoken, will always contaminate any discussion on R*ddit.

On 4chan, the Darwinian mentality does translate into a sort of brainwashing: "every day until you like it." But what is "it" that you like? "It" is complete anonymity. Anonymity is the freedom to contradict yourself, to grow intellectually unhindered by the past, to test out new ideas and new jokes without any consequence. "It" is not taking pride that you went to Oxbridge or have a few moist, fat flesh-holes; "it" is acknowledging that, while you may be the world's foremost Husserl scholar, nobody cares and you'll work at Wendy's until you die.

So, if you like your dialogues well-structured, but within equally well-structured limits of acceptability, fuck off to R*ddit and never return. I have no patience who longs for the return of clear boundaries of intellectual authority, so that they might be told what to believe and when.
