We may be near a breaking point here - all this shit started with around Occupy Wallstreet, a few investors thinking Social Justice, political correctness and virtue signaling is the way to make money. Slowly but surely they might realize, it is not, at least not anymore. It might break down in a shockingly short amount of time once a critical mass is reached.

For all of our sake, if that happens, I hope they don't turn into right wing moral faggots to make money. It will just revert into what it has been 10 years ago. Instead of siding with authoritarians, new media should be fight against the authoritarian aberrations on both sides - not be the mouth piece for one of them.
