This should be some sort of "history of the internet" youtube video. I feel like you sent me back in time for a while. To the worst parts of the internet, but still, back in time... haha. You really nailed it. I’m trying to have faith that things will move to something new... but god, right now, its so militant that its unbearable. At least in the past few iterations, the crazy was confined to tumblr for the most part. Now its everywhere and most terrifyingly, its in leadership positions in important organizations, enforcing change from the top down. This way, even things that most people disagree with are getting pushed onto the public with threats of silencing if you dont go with it.

For the record, I agree with you on trump too. I don't know if you're american but i feel that the left here is in general VERY preoccupied with identity politics to where they're neglecting more important issues. Many times the issues they come up with are highly exaggerated as well, and rely on smear campaigns, name calling, and so on to demonize the opposition into silence rather than actual information. People are getting sick of it. I don’t like trump but given a better republican candidate I would consider voting for them, because I’m tired of this too. The left keeps stirring outrage and usually its these attention-seeking, socially inept people that are the most militant about it. They are very very unlikeable and pick fights with everyone.

I’ve been trying to speak up more. I hope that more people are waking up... lesbians are a small group and i worry that no matter what we do, without the help of the B and G we will be bulldozed. I appreciate your support.
