You know that fifteen year old mindset when you just begin to grasp the idea of and your role in social responsibility but you're still fifteen so you're an absolutely obnoxious shit about it? Like "omg babies all abortion is bad". "Only white people can be racists" "shearing kills sheep!!!" level shit.
And you know how some people never get out of that because they like the taste of what they think is moral righteousness but is actually just huffing your own biased farts while defining random "acceptable" targets to abuse?
...yeahhhhhh.
Purity politics can eat my shit.
Spot on.
Unfortunately, it’s what has become of the internet. If you’re not correct enough, then you are now “other.” I wish more people could see what the tribalism is doing. I miss the old internet every day. For a small window of time, we were all made closer by being able to talk to each other. Ignorance was forgiven if it was acknowledged, if you showed growth. Then assholes with money and an agenda started controlling the conversation. I’m sure there are true believers out there who stifle and snub anyone who isn’t 100% on board with their ideology, but for a time we were building coalitions to change the world.
Nah, there's plenty of internet outside that. Those behavioural groups clump together
Nah, you've seen the shoreline and assumed that's all there is, there's a whole vast ocean out there
Oh lordy, yes to this!
