You've described the internet since it's inception. I've enjoyed many golden ages of different sites over the years, but they all crumble under SJW pressure. But it's not a terrible thing, since it keeps things fresh. Just have to time it right and enjoy the good times on a site while they last.

But that’s just it, we shouldn’t have to. It’s sucks to have a good community built up where you can have discussions with other like minded individuals only to have it torn down by assholes who just want to be angry.

Oh, you're preaching to the choir here. I definitely don't want the platforms i enjoy to get torn down, but I've come to peace with that being reality, and I make an effort to keep my eye out for a few replacements at all times. Saidit, Voat, and Poal all got added to my radar a couple years ago when Reddit started cracking down on the subs I enjoyed. Transitioning over was easy.
Now that I say this, I realize how similar this is to white flight. As soon as an area I live in starts going to shit, I pick a few new areas I'm prepared to move to. Even start spending a little time there ahead of time.

Don't forget: blacks who are free of the plantation leave too. Jesse Peterson said he had to leave a neighbor he lived in for the same reason.

Yep look at pro athletes, first thing they do as soon as sign that big contract is move to a white neighborhood with a white bitch.
