it's scary because the movement has gone underground. we kicked them off facebook, twitter, youtube, reddit. I agreed with that move...I think, but then I don't think we had much of an option. They managed to hack and bypass systems and gain direct access to the minds of young (see: the pewdiepie pipeline) and old people (see: the radicalization of my father)

while we're all collectively wiping our brows and saying "that was close", we have no idea where the fuck any activity is happening. things have moved to encrypted channels so...

in the end, that actually didnt frustrate me or create some burnout.

I kind of lost my mind becuase I could not answer the question - "where do ideas come from?" meaning, in the lead up to the 2016 election and in the time of 45's era, I was able to observe what seemed like waves of ideas.

For example, in one area, like a youtube comment (of which, of course, I don't intentionally read youtube comments, but sometimes you have to), I would see something like (and this is just a very random example) "The color orange is fucking it up for everyone", cue me looking confused but keeping it moving. But then over days, weeks and months, I would more statements about the damned color orange until it became a large swell of resentment about the color orange.

This part is...eh, it does and does not get to me. A lot of progressive voices were taken down several pegs NOT for saying the wrong thing outright, but for not saying the right thing, the right way. I saw this coming and it makes sense that the dirtbag left would be a pickup point for the casualties...but there is something about the dirtbag left and anti idpol folks that smells vaugely of shit.


all the answers are in history books and people want to scream at each other as if things just magically fucking appeared.
