I think Americans kind of forgot about tolerance as a key value

Especially in a digital-leaning world, it’s really easy to just let people do their weird thing in their corner

this is just a people problem at large (on the internet). irl most ppl adhere to risk of confrontation & keep to themselves

yeah good point

i just weirdly remember in 2008-16 it felt like people were big on "you do your thing i do mine" in regards to social issues

but internet makes it easier to attack

definitely. around the time obama got elected the social layer started to fracture a bunch stateside 

we went from “don’t talk or judge others on sex, religion, or politics” to that being the main thing we want to intrude on
