The same bad actors have muddied the lines through limiting online discourse and pushing their message consistently enough to drag some well meaning, but lacking in critical thinking skills, people to join the cause.

Like algorithms for social media, they'll feed you little bits that become normalized, and sudde ly the stuff that was crazy 5 years ago seems tame and pointless to fight against now.

Funny how hearing a message associating someone with a movement, true or not, swayed your opinion. Almost as if it proves my point.
