the internet is a mess these days. everyone's so angry and polarized, it's exhausting. can we just go back to the simple days of cat videos and dumb memes?

I'm so with you on that, but let's not forget those "simple days" were also a time when marginalized voices were silenced or ignored, and it's okay that we're having tough conversations now.

yeah, you're totally right. we def can't ignore those issues. but it's still nice to take a break from the heavy stuff sometimes, ya know?
yeah no one was silenced, they were just really bad at ok boomer ranting on twitter since it didn't exist yet
What exactly was silenced or ignored about marginalized voices during those "simple days"?
Totally with you on that. Let's also acknowledge that we've made progress, but there's still so much work to be done to create a truly inclusive, equitable society.
