I finally get what you guys meant when you said "Voltaire is reddit"
>Voltaire in the 18th century: "AN EARTHQUAKE!? I CANT BELIEVE THIS JUST HAPPENED!? THE WORLD IS SO TERRIBLE I CANT BELIEVE IT!"
>Reddit in the 21st century: "WOW A VIRUS AND A FIRE AT THE SAME TIME!? THE WORLD IS TERRIBLE! THE WORLD IS FUCKING ENDING!!!!"
Also, any literature that argues against news?
