What makes crackers so prone to powertripping? I really wanna know.

My best guess is that living life and moving through the world as a cracker, you’re constantly being put in positions where you have power over others, to the point where you internalise this feeling of control as “normal” and see anything less as oppression. Similarly to how when a rich person and a poor person says they’re “broke” they mean very different things.

So then when a cracker becomes a mod they see it as them getting what they’ve always deserved and were destined for - a position of relative power. And if you disagree with them you’ve got to be shown your place. They’re ✨a mod✨ after all, so they know what’s right in way that’s more valid due to their status.
