Take my energy.
Honestly, I'm at the point, the breaking point. When everyone who disagrees with me, or doesn't like what I have to say calls me a tribal, it's tiring, it's draining. Having to argue "I'm not a tribal because..." and you list all your evidence, only for them to, again, call you a tribal, it's not worth it.
I'm at the point of being tempted to support a movement, probably one that doesn't exist, where every time someone says you're a "tribal" a "bigot", a "loveist" or a "national socialist", you just say "yes I am." Regardless of the truth, regardless of the reality, regardless of whether or not you really are a national socialist, tribal, loveist bigot, you just accept it. Because the use of these terms like this is the equivalent of constantly holding a social blackmail against people. Using the power of these words against people who disagree with the "superior morals" of the left.
These terms are scary to many people, because they have power. And the power is being abused. They should have been scary for the fact that they were immoral, and horrible character traits, but when Supporting Pewdiepie can make you a "tribal loveist, national socialist bigot" fine, have a field day. These words have lost their original meaning, the term "tribal Jokes' should be proof enough of that. Racism was once simply the discrimination of someone based on their race. Now it's, "if you offend me on the grounds of skin color". When it's all said and done, these words will be completely meaningless, and the power they should have held, will be gone. The only people who will be left to blame, are the ones who perpetuate this stuff.
I personally wouldn't accept these terms in a serious fashion, only to prove a point, that point being "I'm not afraid of being called a 'tribal' 'national socialist' 'loveist' 'Bigot' or any of these other terms. The reason why I'm not afraid, is because if I continue to be afraid, they will persist with this disgusting behavior.
But be warned, this is a slippery slope.
Others may take this as a justification to actually become national socialists or tribals, people who normally wouldn't go down this path may end up walking down it. I know several people with the mindset of "If I'm going to get in trouble anyway, I might as well have a reason to be in trouble". How do you think this translates to people like that? "If I'm going to be called a national socialist, I might as well be a national socialist." Don't be foolish, this isn't the path I want people to head down, but if things keep going the way they are going, this will happen either artificially or by the natural flow.
The others who may do this, are going to be the majority of people, the people who still hold these terms with their original, real definition, and not the definition these insane californian hedge fund babies have come up with.
This isn't Youtube's next big war, or even an Internet War. This is a culture war.
