A less wild example I can think of is that someone that is antisocial and had their nose in books used to just be called an introvert or a nerd, but now such a person would probably accused of using escapism to avoid the real world. A harmless personality trait is now considered a concerning problem that an individual should be shamed for.

Not everything outside of reproducing and generating capital is cope.

    Also these might be Tumblr (?) trolls doing a joke in the screenshot.

    I choose to believe this in order to keep my ailing faith in humanity on life support but the fact that it’s probably just an exaggeration is concerning.

      I checked the the last poster’s account and they’re definitely joking. They appear to be a trans leftist of some kind. Although they didn’t post any music suspiciously.
