I was thinking about how while it’s nothing new that reactionary groups attempt to co-opt youth subcultures, this one is maybe their most successful attempt of all time in terms of both per capita conversion and raw numbers.
Yeah, it's not a new thing at all, but gate was remarkably and lastingly successful compared to duds like, say, "Metalgate" that tried to ride its coattails but was such a failure that only fucking Green Day could be found to say that SJWs were ruining metal.
I don't need to tell you that Green Day is not metal and never was and fuck them anyway.
Green Day is anti-woke? What on earth?
Hey, they decided to hitch their wagon to "Metalgate" years ago and whatever else they did, that's fucking awful.
