    Ten years ago I was a bit Reddit commenter. I saw the left’s YouTube videos, I saw how all the subs there became echo chambers, banning anyone who dared have an opinion that wasn’t left of Stalingrad.

    I remember because the years ago I repeatedly warned people. Where do you think that these pretty normal people will go? They’ll go to more welcoming places like dat right fora, and get radicalized into the right.

    That is my accusation to the left: you fucked up badly by pushing out anyone who just wanted to have a conversation instead of agreeing without question.

    You pushed these people right into the camp of a then bumbling idiot who had some charisma and who tirelessly complained about these stupid leftist antics that they hated too, so they joined team trump.

    And here we are today.

    Yeah, I remember, and yeah, you’re right.

    Expect down votes like there is not tomorrow. People didn’t like hearing this 10 years ago and they don’t like it today either.

    Of cour rape is bad but if you day that not all men are rapists, you get people staring at you like you’re the devil and you get accused of being a rapist for saying that.

    I remember them hollowing out the word rapist. I remember the woman accusing this guy of rape because they both stayed late drinking at the hotel bar and when they went up, in the elevator, the guy asked the girl if she wanted to come to his room for a nightcap. She said no, he went to his room alone. Clearly rape! Of course she claimed that on YouTube but not with the police because reasons.

    I haven’t forgotten the crap that came from the left back then. I also haven’t forgotten all those people that flocked to trump because of the behavior of so many on the left.

    Of course, the left was behaving obnoxious and toxic, but they weren’t terrorists. Mostly. That is of course for as long as you didn’t get the nazi label on you, because then they might actual hurt you, and getting that Nazi label back then was sooooo easy. Just step slightly out of the party line, have a slightly less extreme opinion and tag, you’re it.

    Hey, I’m suddenly thinking that at least that improved now! Now the word nazinis at least used for, you know, actually neo nazi wannabe losers

    These fuckers are the reason trump won the first time back then, they pushed so many people to the right. But if you’re waiting for some self reflection from them, some “maybe we shouldn’t have cheapened the word rape?”, or “maybe we shouldn’t accuse people of rape, especially when we know they didn’t do anything wrong” you can wait a long, long time.

    Oohh, now reminds me of this scientist, a Nobel laureate that made some joke, some reporter made a huge deal out of that joke being mysogenistic, it went viral, he had to quit his job over a random little joke he made and then of course it turned out that the reporter made it all up. At least she apologized profusely and did everything she could to make it right. Nah, I’m kidding, nothing was done, no apologies, fuck that guy, he is a white male, and fuck those guys, right?

    Reminds me of that time when a bunch of guys organized a meeting to talk about male suicide. You know, a place where those that are left behind van talk about what happened, try to give eachother support. So a feminist group thought it a great idea to stand outside and harrass and taunt all the guys going in. I still recall the (paraphrased) “I’m happy your brother died, one less white guy” type comments.

    Yes. We now live in a nazi world, and yes, it’s bad and yes, these people are evil. But FFS, how hard can it be to take some accountability for pushing normal people towards this? You pushed them put of every conversation. You banned them from all the normal forums with normal people. So of course they went to other places because what else could they do? And they found a welcoming place in right wing fora and flourished and everybody patted themselves on their backs because they got another “nazi” out and another step closer to having an echo chamber where nobody disagrees.

    Yes, we live in a horror show today, and yes, you, left, started it a decade ago.

    Doesn’t matter what I think, this will not happen, period

    Remember: this is a musk project, and musk projects always end up with massive investments, mega promises for years that it definitely definitely this time will be done next year and absolutely zero results

    The few times that there are results, it’s the fucking hilarious cyber truck

    There will be no datacenters in space and anyone who at this point gives their money freely to Elmo deserve what they will get: absofuckinglutely nothing

    I’m so amazed at all these old fucks throwing one dictatorship idea after the other and their followers all think it’s great!

    Imagine this headline: Obama proposes using ICE in elections

    I meant it wouldn’t make sense of course, but go with it…

    Imagine THAT headline and the response from the Republicans.

    They would go batshit insane and for once be right about it as well.

    But here we are, all accusations are confessions and the democratic party in that shit hole country seems to be fine with it all.

    Amazing, no other words. Just “Amazing”
