    Yes everyone is aware of this power so are using the word as a propaganda tool to further their causes. And everyone is aware that the word is being used as a propaganda tool.

    The scary part is that by watering down the meaning of the word, it’s made actual genocide more likely. If everyone is constantly being accused of genocide all of the time then no one will know when an actual genocide is happening.

    Which world do you live in? People voted for Donald Trump, a guy who wanted to shoot BLM protestors and says he’ll let Israel do whatever they want.

    The edgelord bullshit only makes you popular with people that agree with you. It has demonstrably failed to bring people to the causes you care about.



  • Yeah and it was Vladimir Putin the year after that. So we had the Internet for a year until Putin came along and fucked it all up.

    Then they had Zuckerberg in 2010, Trump in 2016, Musk in 2021. Nice reference to get a feel for optimism in certain times while also being able to track some things going to shit.

    Getting some Pol Pot vibes from this. Ideology can lead to some really weird conclusions.

    Somone like Taylor Swift isn’t destroying people’s lives and she’s not overworking other people to make that money.

    Sure she has too much money, but that can be solved by having more sensible tax policies. Show me where she’s bribing congress and donating to the GOP to keep her taxes low.

    These kinds of memes only exist to prove how edgy people are but they don’t accomplish anything. Saying “I’m so hardcore I even hate the billionaires people like” doesn’t do anything other than push people away from whatever movement you claim to support.

    But congratulations, you’re the edgiest socialist edge lord on the internet. That sound you hear is the Swifties (who might otherwise care about the issues you care about) heading towards the door.

    People like Elon Musk and Donald Trump divide people so they don’t think about what they’re doing. You’re helping them.
