I’m not entirely sure where they originated, but they gained a lot of attraction around the first Trump presidency. They seem to have this weird idea that trans people are worse than MAGA and anti-white hate and diversity programs are more harmful than minority hate and racist hiring discrimination. They seem to be VERY forgiving of the MAGA cult’s extremist behavior, but very critical of the smallest ‘woke’ ideology that’s promoted by Progressives. This grift seems to be growing (especially after Trump won the 2024 election), with TYT recently trying to dick-ride the movement by calling themselves ‘the good Progressives’.

I think they are empty husks, who believe in nothing but their own self interests.
It’s boring. "I got bullied by some terminally online lunatics so I’m changing every single view and belief I’ve ever held".
I think it was found that Russia was running it. Could be wrong though.
I think they were bots. Or a single one I saw would engage.
The founder was involved in the January 6th attack, so that tells me a lot about the movement.
Back in 2018 I thought that they had a point somewhat, but after 2018 I never heard about them ever again.
The movement never gained a lot of traction after trumps first presidency.
I just don’t give a shit, in the slightest. On with life.
It’s lizard brain reactionary thinking.
Right now, there’s a ton of money to be made by falling in line, and the more marginalized you are the more you can make off it. I don’t blame people who take the easy money but I don’t respect them.
It’s a natural effect of how the forces of propaganda and media markets have shaped society, this might help understand what’s going on.
It’s a Russian troll farm campaign
