I give up.
You don't know me, and I don't know you, but I've been trying to counter you chuds for what feels like my entire life on the internet. I have several advanced degrees, as do most of the people I know. We're smart, we're progressive, and you're just a bunch of stupid chud bros being edgy on the internet for the lulz. You don't care what the consequences for spreading your hate and vitriol online are. Your attacks on women, minorities, the most vulnerable marginalized people--I've spent every year since gamergate doing what I can to mitigate the damage your toxic ideology could do to our societies.
It all started with GamerGate. I hate to admit it. It sounds corny and cringe as fuck, but that was really the opening salvo. That was the point where it wasn't just le shock le edgy meme culture anymore. There was a real, serious, deep seeded misogyny and antisemitism, and I've been taught my whole life that there's nothing worse than that kind of atavistic hate, that history will always judge you by whether you were on the side of inclusion, empathy, etc, or the side of hate, ignorance, whatever. All the way up until the end I believed these things. I believed I was on the right side of history, that you hateful bigots would eventually LOSE.
I never imagined the Trump would win in 2016, must like many of my progressive friends and colleagues. We were shocked when he won the primaries, but we were sure he'd lose nationally. Then he won the general election. It hurt, but the pain only ignited a fire in us, a resolve to fight for progress, for what's right. All that came to a head again in 2020, where it was more important than ever to defend those who are weakest among us from a deadly virus, and then also, with BLM, the intersectional nature of these struggles to protect the weak and the marginalized with the fight against systemic racism, misogyny, etc. It all seemed to make so much sense...
