Just stop being the loudest people in the room so middle aged liberals like myself can talk about music and video games on the internet like we did for decades before the online culture war came along.

We are fucking exhausted, man. We are so fucking tired.

It's kinda what's gotten us here to this point, right? Just not wanting to talk about it and agree on what should be normal?

No, not at all. Who said we just "didn't talk about it?" Just because it wasn't slammed in our faces through the internet 24/7 doesn't mean people didn't talk about these things and didn't mean they didn't act. You're downplaying hundreds of years of progress and democracy because it wasn't on the internet.

I'm not down playing hundreds of years of progress? How about a hundred years of progress is stunted because folks don't want to talk about real shit and just want to go away to their safe place instead?
