    Seems like homophobia is really reaching 2008 levels these days

    Hoping that the bigots are just louder than normal though

      It's gotten pretty wild. Saw a fairly well done drawing of someone's character holding the pride flag with the trans and colored triangles on the side. Got down voted to oblivion and they had to lock the comments. They have Nazi shit that doesn't get as much hate. Like you gotta respect muh free speech when it's fascist, and totally just "satire", but when BLM gets brought up the mask comes flying off.

      It doesn't seem organic to me at all. I think they're getting people all fashed up to keep them from moving left as shit falls apart

        I think you're right, it really does feel more ginned up than the usual bigotry I'd expect this time of year. I feel like pride month usually passes by without too much controversy or fanfare. Feels like since things are getting worse they have to redirect anger to something else. The line seems to be that corporations and elites aren't bad because they're doing terrible things that are hurting people, they're bad because they're forcing wokeness on us. That way the hogs can be satiated by removing the rainbows from twitter profiles or off the packaging of their favorite treat.
