Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Ding ding ding!
Basically every single philospher or political theorist or whoever, throughout all of history, makes a point of saying that Democracy requires a reasonably well informed and a reasonably educated population ... as a necessary prerequisite.
Take that out at the knees, as the Republicans have been doing for 40 years, and its no wonder that Democracy seems like a dubious concept, when the average reading ability of the average US adult is that of a 6th grader.
Turns out 6th graders aren't really that knowledgeable and can be easily lied to or tricked.
