Practically every main stream internet service I can think about that I have used is littered with fascist or imperialist comments. Anytime I push back against it, I have to contend with a wave of reactionaries jumping down my throat.

Sometimes I wonder what’s the point. As in, should I just back off and not say anything? It doesn’t seem like saying anything makes a difference anyway.

I dunno, I guess I’m teetering on the edge of despair a bit. Fascism isn’t fringe on the internet anymore, from what I can see. It makes me worry for the near future.

Fill disclosure: my friend thinks I’m just too online.

      That John Green dude is peak insufferable liberal. He made something about the China balloon and given his knowledge I expected him to say people freaking out were being silly. No, he goes full on anti-communist fear mongering saying Chinese weather balloons are scarier than aliens.
