This idea of the 'oppression Olympics' has been an off-again, on-again thing in rw circles for awhile now. They love to paint their opponents, who are mostly asking for the same rights enjoyed by others, as these huge unreasonable villains that think of themselves as misunderstood, but are really just evil.

This, of course, is mostly just projection on their part.

Beat me to it. Like the 2010s was all about fascists going on about how nazis are actually just funny tumblr sexymen and just sad and misunderstood blorbos because no one can get their genius.

They Draco in Leather Pants’d nazis for a whole decade. Why do you think the only acceptable non-fascist to them is Daryl Davis? The guy who went on about how klansmen are all sad and misunderstood paragons just in need of a big hug and constant glazing and they might change their ways?

CHUDs love being part of the angry mob, and thinkers are not welcome in the mob. So they need their thought terminating cliches.
