Yes and this trend is very evident on next door, which was mentioned in the article.
I see next door as the new facebook or maybe worse.
Everything is racist. In my hood there was a long, long debate, chock full of hand wringing and virtue signalling over the use of the word ghettobird which is slang for helicopter.
Most of the people on there are the usual raging leftists who claim the site shouldn’t be political and remove opposing commentary if they are ever confronted with any truth, statistics or facts regarding any pet proggie issues they brought up in the first place.
It’s nothing but puppies, proggies, virtue signalling and I’m calling the police because someone is sitting in front of my house.
Here's a sample post:
We had dozens of kids ring our Raleigh Heights doorbell last night. They were the nicest people one could enjoy meeting. They were polite and they were fun. Not one of them left our doorstep without saying "Thank you." Many of them added "Happy Halloween." There was NO vandalism and NO misbehavior. My wife and I are delighted to think that these young people will inherit the future.Thanks Kids, Thanks Parents, and Thanks Teachers.
