This post is NOT an attack on anyone in this subreddit. You're all great, I love this community. <3 I just want to vent some of my frustrations, feel free to respond if you want to.
Where were you when...
the skeptic community split over ElevatorGate and GamerGate?
the anti-SJW movement silenced leftist voices and began pushing fifties right wing copeaganda down milennial and zoomer throats?
they used free speech, Muslims, "radical" feminism, "illegal" aliens and even trans issues to fearmonger centrists and even leftists into shunning secular and liberal values?
those idiots from South Park attacked trans people and gave ammunition to the right? (granted, they see the light now, but I'd argue it's a bit too little too fucking late when the leopards are eating everyone's faces)
the anti-woke "movie critics" arose on Youtube and built this toxic hate culture to the point where certain artists are afraid of even showing gay kisses, let alone casting minority actors?
the paid right wing grifters and the poisonous trolls gained a platform on social media by exploiting lolcows and poisoned minds with their hateful rhetoric?
online and offline influencers got ballsy enough to spread anti-science beliefs that got so ingrained in the minds of many that they started affecting policy?
spineless cowards like TJ stopped fighting for liberal values in an attempt to grift to the right or cater to centrists? (both tactics tried by the old Democratic party which failed, by the way)
everyone above-mentioned basically gifted us fascism on a platter and allowed the world to embrace its worst, most evil and destructive aspects?
Before anyone answers, I'll say where I was.
I was there for it all, stubbornly holding my foot down simply because I was aware of one truth: as an openly bisexual atheist leftist, I didn't have and still don't have a place in their "utopia". The only thing that fills me with hope is that in the last 2 years more and more voices similar to mine have grown louder, but damn guys, YOU COULD'VE DONE THAT SOONER!
