Slight powerlevelling: a couple of the people I am (barely) social with (anymore) on social media are Gen X IT/media professionals who were heavily involved with Encyclopaedia Dramatica during its inception, because back then they were using ED to track and document and of course ridicule Livejournal drama (for any zoomers reading along: Livejournal was the tumblr of it's era). Both these erstwhile ED shitlords have since turned into massively insufferable SJWs and woke cult true believers. I've seen them do these social media threads where they're pretending to repent for their sinful ways on ED, while reposting every fucking SJW themed news story that crosses their feed to virtue signal about how they've really changed, they're totally adulting now everyone. You can plainly tell that whatever relatively harmless or playful sadism had led them to ED still continues unabated during their SJW phase, they've just found themselves what they think are new and more seemingly legitimate/"adult" targets and, more egregiously, they now get to be in denial about their same old base impulses leading them to join various SJW cancellation campaigns. It's pathetic to me how these people, so hypocritically and completely un-self-aware, apparently have this strong craving for some kind of absolution in their old age, but there you have it.
