He comes from the era of the internet where being a sneering intellectual was the coolest possible thing you could do. If you were on *any* forum/BBS/IRC room back then, you would eventually run into this kind of guy.

They are right about everything, and everyone else are subhuman dullards who dont deserve to access the internet; the fact they have to share the internet with The Other eats away at them on a primal level, and they will make you aware of their naked contempt for you at every possible opportunity.

Did you make a typo? They will write a 500 word diatribe about how dumb you are, and then never shut the fuck up about it. They have a bottomless well of energy when it comes to being a petty little bitch. And the best part, is that this guy is always dumb as a bag of fucking hammers.

“He comes from the era of the internet where being a sneering intellectual was the coolest possible thing you could do.” Please add the qualifier “online”. None of this shit has ever been the coolest thing.

I'm also being somewhat sarcastic here; obviously it wasn't cool but this is what the "cool kids" at the top of the pecking order did. It sucked, and you still see echoes of it to this day.

I thought it was implied, but yes. This is specifically about the culture of the early internet, on the early internet.
