I may be alone in this, but I recall the thing people on the internet claimed to hate most was moralizing of the right wing during the Bush years. It did seem insane at certain points such as when congress tried to legislate video games. Next, Obama comes in and suddenly a new brand of moral fagging gets a grip thanks to social media and people are getting "canceled" over saying harmless things. Again, it's just endless moralizing this time with a different ideology sans much religious justifications. Then people get sick of that, and now we have again a new brand of right wing moralizing over everything as some kind of response, even trying to re-litigate things like porn for the 10,000th time. Looking at previous decades I was not alive in, this cycle seems to keep repeating at some level with obnoxious people from both political spectrums.
Is anyone exhausted at this point? I think it's making me drift away from politics for good because it just seems like I have to endure the newest updated version of Mad Soccer Mom crying about everything, and then two versions of Mad Soccer Moms with ridiculous stringent standards throwing shit at each other. Not that I don't think certain things complained about are bad, I don't like the trooning of children for one, but no body focuses on the more important underlying macro issues such as the middle class being destroyed and entire career fields being eliminated due to technology. People talk about "bread and circuses" being used as a distraction but the non-ending rancor over dumb shit has to be itself a bread and circus distracting from other issues.
Instead, of you know worrying about why the economy is so fucked up, we have to focus on bogey man issues that nobody gave a shit about until they gave a shit about it. Everything just seems more fake and gay these days, even in the supposed underground discourse circles where we are supposed to be free of censorship. I think the people there are more pro-censorship than what the people claim to believe in the censored platforms, which is fucking crazy. I guess I've just had enough. It's old and boring. No one tries to change anything positively. I just see people on the internet bitching about how they can't burn people at the stake and can't just micromanage the entire world until it fits their utopia. It's absurd.
