Recently got publicly chastised and penalized on a forum I frequent for "Nihilistic Doomsaying" in response to my supposition that our current political climate isn't going to improve. I'm not particularly rankled about that - It's well within rights - But I am disturbed at the trend I see.
I see it around here a lot too.
The "Everything is going to turn out fine" mentality. The "It's not as bad as you think" mentality. The "We just need to vote" mentality.
You know, pretending that there aren't child concentration camps happening, or people calling for the extermination of the oppressed.
And while you're all pretending about that, there's arguments raging about how you can't call a bigot a bigot because that's hateful, and how you can't demonitize them on YouTube because an infringement of their speech.
Jesus fuck, no wonder evil's winning. Good thing they pay well.
