  • I think it’s that the world has changed into having fractured multiple cultures.

    In the 80s/90s being gay was considered by general society to be an insult. If you’re under 25, the concept of something being negative being called “gay” as the standard insult just sounds made up.

    But people who are 40 years old may remember being in school, and you got a D on a quiz. Your buddy might say “You got a D? That’s gay.”

    Had nothing to do with actual homosexuality. It’s just that’s what society was. Being gay wasn’t accepted, and it was cool and trendy to hate on gays to the point that it wasn’t questioned if you called anything bad “gay”.

    It’s impossible to place an exact date on when the culture changed, because it likely changed at different times for different regions. I assume California was the first to change.

    I first noticed the shift in pop culture around 2003. There was a russian pop singer duo/band called tatu. Terrible music, but they kissed in their one hit wonder music video.

    The reactions I saw on MTV were people saying they were brave for being openly gay. Whereas if it would have happened in the 80s, I’m sure they’d have gotten death threats.

    And I STILL see people who don’t accept gay people.

    So society is now fractured on what popular belief is. Now it’s more like several circles, who all have different views. As opposed to one giant unified viewpoint, with those not conforming left on the outside in the underground.

    Because that’s just one topic. There’s other people who are ok with gay people, but not ok with trans. So thats another circle. Now imagine every single viewpoint which has a counter viewpoint.

    Whereas in the 80s, something like 92% of the vote went towards reagan, and everybody conformed to the preapproved normal viewpoints. We don’t do that anymore. We each find our own meaning of normal.

    Now me personally, I don’t find giving a nazi salute to be normal. But you’ll still find herds of people defending musk. You’ll also find people like me who say fuck musk, and fuck any self identifying nazi. So, another example of how different people are now in different circles.

















  • So essentially what is happening, is the government is pointing at the sitting active and current acting president and said “Yeah, that guy’s not with us”.

    And if anyone of trumps cultists finds out they’ll blacklist anyone in government (or not in government) and say they need to pay.

    Meanwhile, the people in government realize how destructive he is and trying to tiptoe around his actions while at the same time, trying not to let this country become the dumpster fire that it is becoming.

    We live in the dumbest timeline.
