It’s amazing how many subreddits fell victim to the satire to unironic hate club lifecycle. And that video was great. Especially the part at the end about how groups make their own totem/straw men to keep the anger up.
Yeah. For the most part those communities seemed to have not jumped to lemmy which I'm grateful for. I think hate is like the fast food of emotions, it's addictive and we love it but it's bad for you and eating nothing but that will fuck you up. That video really fundamentally changed how I view things on the internet and if there's one thing I really wish I could expose more people to, that's it.
