I can vouch for that. I used to poke in & out lurking sometimes (& having the misfortune of not only posting with just as much negativity as the majority, but also having an unhinged lunatic have at me with baseless bullshit but the less said about that, the better) until one day I just stopped going there. It was the same each time & was just as depressing & tiresome. I would check a couple of times but nothing different. Like Myoozik said, it’s all about finger pointing & blaming the other side instead of actually doing something. That’s all it’s been these days. I might add the same thing can be said about activism, particularly environmental activists. That lot just love putting the blame on other people rather than actually doing something to better it like they want us to believe.
Yes, there’s problems, yes, some stuff sucks, but screaming in panic and flailing like a lunatic is not gonna help. The horror movie kind of guy who just gets easily startled and is useless to bring solutions into the table.
Sometimes it even pushes people away from helping you or sympathizing with you, like a Karen. Specially if, imperfect as it is, someone else found more practical solutions to the matters at hand.
That’s exactly what they do, pushing people away rather than “helping” them. That’s pretty much the reason why I’ve been hating activists these past few years cuz they’re almost always like that. I know I shouldn’t but goddamn, it’s just so aggravating having to hear about them doing stupid shit for “reasons”.
