Think of the woke tone policing thing, 10 years ago “leftists” got upset if you used the wrong words while ignoring the actual bad things that were happening.
If you said “Trump is a fucking retard” the left goes “ok” the stupid-left goes “you can’t say that word! You’re as bad as Trump because you said that word!”
lmao, I think it is even more delusional to presume that there’s people younger than 20 on Lemmy. I’ve taught people who don’t even remember Obama’s presidency.
The problem is – and maybe you are too young to remember this – people have always just made shit up on the internet. I don’t even know where the fuck you’re going to find people who don’t take issue with actual slurs besides chud and lib sites, Lemmy included, which are hardly universally"leftist" spaces (and it seems like you don’t know the difference between a “leftist” or “liberal”). Who knows what fucking bots you’re running into or what algos have pushed into your engagement based on your activity, I can certainly say I haven’t seen any of the shit you’re describing, even on actual leftist communities. You think “scumbag left” is what, new? You seriously think white, cishet men haven’t used slurs this whole goddamn while even if they did claim to be socialists?
So, do you have a source? A link? Any actual evidence that what you’re saying is in any way emblematic of some sort of popular discourse or cultural trend? Or did you make it the fuck up?
I see it on Reddit all the time. Leftists hurting their own arguments because they’re repeating things that are just flat out wrong. Most people barely pay attention to the news, have no idea how our government works, and don’t read books.
Could you cite something? I haven’t seen any of this, and I’m very curious to see where it’s coming from.

“My source is I made it the fuck up.”
I suppose people younger than 20 didn’t experience it.
