Right now in the culture war, the right’s stronger than ever. It feels like an inverse of 2009 when Obama got in and the YouTube atheist movement was at its peak. Then before you know it, the whole anti-SJW craze and then gamergate happened.
The right started with dunking on “tumblr feminists” and it arguably started with TJ Kirk’s video criticizing them. Of course this led to gamergate which led to the present day: the new “good ol’ days”.
What is the right’s equivalent of “tumblr feminists”, people you can criticize with less pushback and with enough smart-alecky framing, come out on top?
I think a major weak point is that while fascism aims to divert the working class away from the real problems and real solutions towards artificial dangers, or putting a spotlight on a single symptom of capitalism instead of capitalism itself, eventually it runs out of people that are stupid enough to believe that shit after they start noticing that the fascists are doing nothing to actually address their problems.
On a more personal “tumblr feminist” way, there’s really nothing redeeming about most of these people, I can’t pick one type. These are the people that would make fun of anyone with empathy and call them “cringe” and hypocritical or fake because they don’t comprehend what it’s like to support someone when there’s nothing in it for you.
