When did the world get so full of snowflakes? Ive been trying 2 think whether it was a slow progressive thing or if it just happened over night but I literally cant think of a time when things have been worse. When people cant say things or do things because it'll offend someone somewhere!
When did 'getting offended on someone elses behalf' become a thing? You're not offended yourself and the other person isnt bother either, but you're offended on their behalf...the world is literally batshit crazy atm!
The rise of the Woke Left in the United States was one of those "perfect storm" moments where the conditions for it all fell into the right place at the right time.
It's largely the purview of Millennials and the oldest cohort of Generation Z (the ones born in the final years of the 20th Century) and it emerged due to a mix of a wider backlash against the old Religious Right of the Reagan-Clinton-Bush eras, the Great Recession of the late 2000's, and an extremely corrupted and compromised academic system colliding into a perfect storm in the early 2010's with Occupy Wall Street.
The Millennials and the Early Zoomers were pissed at their Religious Right parents and they were indoctrinated in college (thanks to a decades-long Soviet gay op that outlived the Soviet Union itself) and many of them were economically crippled when the Great Recession began (right as the bulk of them were either just entering the workforce or were still in high school) since the bulk of their degrees were worthless Greivance Studies bullshit that weren't worth the paper they were printed on.
I think Occupy Wall Street got corrupted by corporate bigwigs, they feared the masses and so they infiltrated Occupy and did everything they could to embolden and empower the SJW's in the movement and ensure that the Woke Left would become the dominant clique and Occupy would fall apart (which it did by the end of 2012) and with Obama's second term, the frog boiling continued.
The Ferguson Riots and the internet tard fight known as GamerGate were merely the timer going "ding!" to let everyone know the goose was cooked. Then Trump won in 2016 and it sent them into a panic, which is why everything started intensifying rapidly.
2020 is likely the peak of this madness. The woke malaise of the 2010's cultural zeitgeist taken to its logical extreme.
This is the Woke Left's make or break moment...and our own as well.
