I was begging my American friends in the skeptic community since 2011-2012, that the far-right is banking on the "you call everyone a nazi you disagree with" to help normaize their bullshit, while also saw the far-right creating a more digestable version of their "cultural Marxism" conspiracy theory. Then Gamergate happened and they told me they should have listened to me earlier.

I miss the days when people laughed at people claiming that black people in entertainment media will destroy the white west. I miss the days when we told the RFK Jr. types "Shoot yourself with increasingly larger caliber bullets to build up immunity to getting shot!".
