i was born in 1999 and life still seemed good in the 2000s and very early 2010s. i remember 2013 was the year that things started to go south culturally. that was when i started seeing "privilege" being mentioned, lots of complaining about "male chauvinism", and there were "privilege tests" where you would answer a quiz and it would tell you how privileged you are, that kind of thing. i remember it seeming very inorganic, like it was being pushed from the top-down, and it started slowly but then snowballed into sjws and wokeness and such. i had faith that it would all blow over because of how ridiculous it was. now look at it. critical race theory, pronouns everywhere, drag queen story time. it's absolutely fucked. what was worse for me was seeing friends who i'd known since childhood embrace this shit. so many of the kids i grew up with are now they/thems with fucked up lives, they're so bitter and hateful now. i remember how truly happy they used to be, and when you look at them now, it's like a completely different person. there are so many people i mourn who, while still physically alive, are spiritually dead. i'm certainly not alone in this, and this is why so many zoomers are actual turbo-nazis. we grew up as children with this great culture in the 2000s and were so excited to partake in it as teenagers and adults, only to have it snatched away from us and defiled throughout our teenage years. we've lost so many friends who have mutilated themselves and have killed themselves because of transgenderism and anti-whitism and all the rest of it. there will be no forgiveness for this.
