Current Events > Anyone miss when online nerd culture wasn't filled with alt-lite morons?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seriously. Did our culture get overrun with Gen Z kids that have no memory of the Religious Right during the Bush years?

What

kinda? i feel like the overall atmosphere was a lot more right-wing in the past, but nowadays it's more concentrated and organized

the stuff people were posting on gamefaqs on a daily basis about minorities/lgbt/etc in the early 00's would get you banned anywhere today lol. but they weren't attached to this really modernized distinct online movement, they were just everyday people who leaned republican.

have you not been paying attention for the last like 10 years

the eternal internet culture war over dumb nerd shit is the biggest blight that it has ever faced, and i believe it would not be unfair for it to be destroyed in an attempt to halt it at this point

I remember when Ron Paul was president of the Internet.

It's the proper term for these people that try to portray themselves as "cool" conservatives online, like Lauren Southern, Milo, The Quartering, and Tim Pool. These people are often referred to, erroneously, as "alt-right" even though that was just a segment of white supremacists that went into a severe decline after Charlottesville.
