I've stayed out of D&D for almost a decade now. But I remember the USPOL thread linking to a PBS documentary called slavery by any other name, and more than once a lecture by Elizabeth warren talking about the destruction of the middle class.
I think that was the start of their self radicalization. Even thought I will say that alot of the stuff posted in D&D a decade ago had people who were able to make a fucking thesis and defend it. SJW's cant defend their talking points and resort to fucking screaming in order to "win"
Whats even more weird is that at a point some poster in D&D talked about how you need to get people emotional in order to get engagement. of course that was the filthy republicans and their fox news masters who did that to those poor ignorant fly over states.
The 2016 election and the fucking melt down that i swear i can still hear to this day is really strange to me, a logical rational goon should have realized they were wrong about everything and adjusted instead the doubled down.
Imagine telling a goon with anixety that they need a routine aka a job, a healthy diet, to stop playing spending their tug boat on steam sales etc.
