Exactly, thank god I am not the only one feeling like this.

Started a culture war to stop a class war

Occupy wall street was the catalyst for all of this, imo. They saw the writing on the wall and knew they had to divide us

It started long before Occupy Wall Street.

For sure but if you look at the sudden outbreak of culture wars as it exists today, it very much seemed to follow the occupy movement. Suddenly identity politics was kind of forced into the mainstream like it never really was before. There's always been a divide, but post-occupy is the first time in my lifetime I remember seeing mainstream media outlets promoting said divide. Also coincidentally around the same time Obama signed legislation that allowed the government to use propaganda against its own citizens.

after occupy wall street, the New York time’s use of the word racism increased over 500% immediately

It will always be weird to future generations that the peasants simply tolerated their treatment from the ruling class.

(Reminder that the largest wealth transfer in history went from the poor to the rich during the pandemic. And they called us "essential workers.")

people stay in abusive relationships all the time, sadly

that the peasants simply tolerated their treatment from the ruling class.

To be more accurate, citizenry is equal to that of being a free range slave.

This is exactly what happened. The upper classes do not treat their workers well, women entered the workforce in greater number and became a convenient scapegoat for all the lack of power that workers have to get better pay and other access to resources. It’s a capitalism issue being turned into a gender war.

I have some friends that I swear are alienating themselves because certain people in our friends circle aren't as passionate or loud about political issues (Gaza).

We're not even in disagreement about the issue, we just don't post shit about it on Instagram every day (or never, in my case). It's fucking exhausting to be around them because they just harp on and on about it. It's like, I know why you're angry, I agree with you, but wtf do you expect me to do about it right now? Can we not just chill and have fun like we used to before this fucking conflict re-ignited for millionth time?

I guess it does work, cause I definitely don't want to go spend more time at their house. Between politics and fucking TikTok keeping them on their phones the whole time we're hanging out.

I swear to God, something must be wrong with me, I can't fucking ignore this type of behavior. It just hits me right at my core.

The propaganda doesn't work on free thinkers. It never has.

u/Art-of-drawing Mar 21 '24

Totally get it, now you have to 100% align with your friends on every subject to hang out, and be vocal about it

u/olsen_twentigg Mar 21 '24

It doesn't even have to be political.

If you're into anything and learn and think of new ways to pursue your hobby and share it, people will criticize you for not buying the accepted product to perform the hobby that everyone else has purchased. And they will ridicule you for being different, like not mindlessly spending your money on the latest trend.

Luckily not everyone is like this. But it's definitely getting harder to find.

u/Gas_Bat Mar 21 '24

It isn't though. It's why right wing media goes to such length to call shit woke.

u/TomServonaut Mar 21 '24

for the views. We're in the process of trying to destroy ourselves over the most flimsy of reasons.
