I hate greentext and its memeing and oversimplifing nature, it's a sign of sickness and decadence if noone takes anyone serious anymore. It's also useless to write something you don't mean to satisfy a senseless pleasure (except when someone really is too incapable of logic so you have to meme him the message if you want to manipulate him)

Why do you try to convey your thoughts and spend your time not with words and meaning but with this gateway of memes and greentext so one may see what you mean when you imply it. It's not much different than niggers/ white ganster trash/ instagram people and so on trying to say something with their limited vocabulary and their need to sound cool (which is their fear of social exclusion battling with their weak ingenuity)

is greentext and memes a hindrance to intellectual growth? if not, why?
