Wrong. Anyone who has used the internet at the early days especially before the advent of web 2.0 will understand there were no talks of political jargon. Literally every interaction centered around virtually everything else, mostly hobbies and interests.

Hell, even back then no one knew what it meant to be right or left wing. I recall the bush era online being completely absent of his criticism or support especially compared to now and the bad orange man. Back then it was authentic, now it is full of brainwashed jackasses that read from the latest script in support of the current thing or it is filled with people that challenge that. No longer is there a middle ground for genuine conversation.

NOW, everything has been polluted by identity politics. The irony is that the people you speak of have controlled the spaced and jewd everything beyond repair by censoring anyone and everything that does not conform to their leftist dogma.
