Like every time I read the comments for any movie/show that features anything other than a white dude as the lead, everyone is like "tHe w0Ke cRoWd WiLL LoVE ThIs!!1!"

It's especially bad for anything Disney, which according to them, is a communist factory for LGBTQIA+ PEDO GROOMING or some other conspiracy nonsense. Granted, Disney is fully deserving of scathing criticism, but for different reasons.

Has anyone else noticed this? It's just weird to me because I view torrenting as a very anti-capitalist activity, but that seems to be lost on them?

    I work with multiple people like this and I hate it so much. I wouldn’t really have a problem being around with conservatives if they could just keep it to themselves most of the time, but they can’t help bringing up politics even in completely unrelated conversations.

    What’s ironic about it too is they’re usually the type to say something like “woke SJWs can believe whatever they want, just don’t shove it in my face!”

      Much like they're mad that Pink Floyd/Waters and RATM keep putting "politics" into their music all of a sudden. They're purely reactionaries so they only recognize politics different from their own as "politics", their own beliefs are just "normal" to them.
