Is it okay to use 4chan copypastas in a college essay and not credit anyone?
Unironically going to use the optimistic nihilism copypasta.

Just watch Neil de Grasse tyson videos and post on Reddit until the end of fucking time

Shit like this is produced by bourgeois think tanks to make the middle class complacent while the rich steals all their fucking money and uses literal slaves in the third world to make their trendy glitter iPhone cases.

Go sit in a park with your sweetie! (DON'T HAVE ONE, ALL SOCIAL RELATIONS HAVE DEGENERATED TO ORGYPORGY PROLEFEED NIGHTMARE)

Take Facebook tweet selfies of your stupid bullshit! (ENDLESSLY FOCUS ON DAY-TO-DAY PETTY SOCIALIZING AND LASCHIAN NARCISSISTIC GRANDSTANDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ALL HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO LITERALLY PREHISTORICAL LEVELS OF HYPERGAMY IN A WHIRLING GYRE OF MEANINGLESS TINDER FACEFUCKING FOR THE SELECT FEW AND ELLIOT RODGER RESENTMENT FOR THE REST)

Consume trendy garbage and eat cool food :P!!!! (LITERALLY CHINESE NIGGER SLAVES MADE YOUR STUPID BULLSHIT "THINKGEEK.COM" BAUBLES AND DESIGNER STRETCHPANTS, IN ENDLESS WASTELANDS THAT RESEMBLE THE FACTORIES OF INDUSTRIAL ENGLAND MARX WROTE ABOUT IN COMPLETE HORROR)

These people are trying to thought control you into passively reclining and injecting low-effort Mythbusters reddit filth into your brain and ignoring the dull ache of meaninglessness and consumerist overstimulation from inhaling high fructose corn syrup and salt all fucking day

"Optimistic nihilism" is what rich faggots pay slightly less rich faggots to convince lumpenproles to think they're experiencing when they work in a cubicle for 45 years to finance a lifestyle of watching proles modify Nerf guns and design "man caves". Turn off the Youtube and develop some tastes and moral preferences taht an algorithm designed by Amazon can't predict and use to predict your entire life befoer you've evn lived it you peice of fucking shit

this is like that time someone was holding forth on what "bugman" meant and they let slip that it meant "someone who uses blue apron", ie. it just means a member of their own social stratum that they are peeved at

this post is, ironically, a reddit post

that's what i wondered! i guess, since i needed to look it up, i am not a bugman. like chinese people, who- you know, they live in concrete hives and aren't allowed to care about things that aren't work and make grade number go up, but they're not bugmen, because they aren't the class enemies of pissy internet posters. that's what the posters said, anyway, that chinese people aren't bugmen.

that's what this is. a bunch of bullshit from someone who's dissatisfied with his class, plus warmed over commie shit. "based".

The other guy said that if you know about blue apron you are a "bugman", however he didn't say anything about what you are if you don't know what blue apron is. I genuinely didn't know what blue apron was and my Google search returned only literal blue aprons, so I asked. The fact that I didn't know about blue apron doesn't mean I'm not a "bugman".

Include some high brow racism at some point though. You could do that at the same time as the class warfare bit early on. *White middle class, etc.
