I’ve been on the internet for a long, long while, and recently the internet has been becoming more and more racist, misogynist, etc. A lot of media apps rolled back their protections of LGBTQ+ people a hot while ago, and my old home of Reddit has devolved into pure insanity. There were new subs popping up left and right that only existed just to be racist and misogynist, it was MADDENING. Before Trump got elected, subs like that would be banned in like… a month, now they’re just letting that shit slide. Christ even I got banned for calling out misogyny. It’s gonna be damn near impossible to abandon. There’s a fuckload of communities and people there, but, oh well… But looking outside of Reddit, it feels like EVERYWHERE is a path into the alt-right pipeline, it’s MADDENING. It’s gotten this bad and it hasn’t even completed a full fucking year, I feel like I’m losing my goddamn mind My only real methods of communicating to people have been limited to Discord and here… it’s so lonely
Wait, you found Leftist Discord? Hook me up lol.
This sort of mirrors why I’m probably gonna stop trying to organize for the PSL in my city. I thought I was gonna be able to ride the wave of radlib protests and stuff and get over to the left and get them to start reading and stuff. But no one wants change. No one wants to actually do the work. They just want to be angry. And I mean, the Red Scare did one hell of a number on the American people.
