I have noticed a trend over the past 10 years. I mention something and someone basically says you are a stupid neckbeard go away you don't know what the f**k you are talking about. Then I see it pop up on Reddit or New York Times a few years later, but now it has a name and all that jazz. It seems like people on the internet have been dumbed down from 15-20 years ago and will gaslight you like in real life. But if you express what you see or your disapproval you are an incel or this or that. It feels so grey and 1984 like where there is so much censorship for simply explaining patterns you see (and not even touching sensitive topics).

Seen that when Iwas younger..after awhile, I figured nobody cared to know, and see the common pattern .

Same here.

Latest was when some bilge rat accused me of "Cos-Playing" my military service, even when shown my DD-214.

Some people want you to believe anything, especially when you know they're lying.
