A concept that involves conscious rejection of the basic responsibilities for managing tensions expected of humans in a society. The Degraded State is most clearly exemplified in Internet culture, and particularly Internet gamer culture, where LARPing, trolling, take downs, gotchas, impersonation, doxxing, harassment for sport and lulz, and a thirst for personal and reputational destruction of others are common behaviors aided by asymmetric anonymity and pseudonymity. Those who accept and embrace the Degraded State share the view that life is simply a game that lacks any deep, ultimate meaning. | A concept that involves conscious rejection of the basic responsibilities for managing tensions expected of humans in a society.

|content=For those who know me as slow to anger, that remains true. But, stalking, physical threats, impersonating my business to spread anti-semitism/misogyny, doxxing & taking my wife’s work w/o attribution puts you in a different category. '''Especially''' if you work at my email provider. | |||
The Internet or gamer culture is not an excused absence from being a human being. You don’t get to harass or terrorize families in real life just because you have an ISP. | |||
This isn’t a scientific dispute. It’s about being a human and using that life to harass for sport & lulz. | |||
This isn’t a relationship between two people. it’s harassment of a family by a jealous server of many people that thinks actively causing fear and loss is funny. | |||
I’ll show you. You’ll wonder why I didn’t say more earlier. Wish me luck. More to come. | |||
Love to all. And thanks. 🙏 | |||
