I will say something that I made peace with: these are part of the new normal. This one is even light in front of everything else. Look at the supposed most richest person on Earth comments. And it will get worse. I'm seeing political people public calling the ending of the suffrage for women. People sharing memes about Jewish people with the same underlying message as dark web board messages of 2010s. And I'm not talking about a specific group. This is going all over the political spectrum.

Part of me thinks that there will be a time where progressives will have to choose their radicals. I hope that it happens after my death.

The world’s values have absolutely gone to shit. There may be many contributing factors, but I will say it’s at least in part the fault of the far left pushing too far.

Instead of maintaining the fight with actual racism, thinking that’s gone away, they picked racist fights with everyone else, embracing a form of racism themselves.

They have also sided with misogynistic and racist groups in their extreme search for “tolerance”.

A fresh young mind that comes along can see racism and misogyny promoted on both sides of the spectrum, with the left one a bit more oppressive and hypocritical about it and the right side a bit more self-consistent and hedonistic about it.
