I mean the fact that people seem to think that a growing global movement on workers rights was derailed by one debacle of a fox news interview of a reddit mod is...not a good look overall. I legit got attacked on lemmy a couple of days ago for pointing out hey notice how a right wing fuckhead getting pwned doesn't destroy their reputation? Ya wanna think about that and why you're doing their propaganda for them?
it really felt like a purity politics moment. Bug fuck insane when you're talking about change.
Yeah, I've heard of making a mountain out of a molehill, but this was more like making an anthill into Mt. Everest. And anyone who tried to approach the situation rationally was immediately shouted down by angry mobs. It was hugely disappointing to see.
I was already gone by that time, disappointing to see, but also what I've come to expect from Reddit at this point
'filled with people who believe it is more important to do nothing wrong than it is to do something right'
The equivalent of burning down your house because a window got dirty
