UK here. I thought my brothers were quite left wing.... I just woke up to find my youngest brother bitching because there is a petition to change the name of his kids school, as it is named after a slave trader. He says "but this is history, you cant delete history", and "Sick of these snowflakes". Then my other brother says "I was listening to Joe Rogan the other day and......". I reply "This is history? Snowflakes? Joe Rogan? Fucking Hell". My brother says "What's wrong with Joe Rogan", and I reply that I have often heard people I work with bring up right wing opinions, and sooner or later they mention that they've been listening to Joe Rogan, and he's seen by some as a right wing Trojan horse so I am suspicious of the guy. The counter-point from my brother ? "You have issues". So yeah, I guess Im a loony lefty, snowflake, mentally ill hard left extremist now, and it's not that I'm spotting how successful right wing talking points seem to be spreading these days.
I despair. What the fuck is wrong with people.
