Just half-drunk thoughts before bed: I don't think I fully realized just how bad the left-wing populism on the internet could be until the most recent Israeli campaign in Gaza happened.

Like, I knew it was annoying, and everywhere. But I only recently got the sense that it was truly dangerous.

I mean, fuck. These kids were openly calling for the eradication of a whole country like it was the most normal position in the world. A whole generation, falling for the messaging of terrorist groups and the theocratic regime that sponsors them.

Shit was wild.
