You mean Zoe Quinn lied?! Who would have thought?! Who could have foreseen such turn of events?
LITERALLY EVERYONE!

Because what they really want is power. At some point they've noticed that screaming "racist" loud enough granted them power to exclude people, to shut down events, to close platforms etc.
And because they love the power, they can't have it that racism doesn't exist anymore.
Also, changing a racist's mind doesn't give them the same rush of power like having control over a racist's life does.
In time this thirst for power will transform in a desire for an authoritarian rule. Which is where fear and hate mongering usually comes in. Basically, imagine a Hitler that instead of inciting hate towards Jews, he used "racists" instead to gain support.
@realcaseyrollins
I don't think that the people who advocate to segregate the wrong thinkers actually want to change their minds and make them not racist.
I get the feeling that they want to have an eternal boogie man with which to scare people into submission. Like how certain Christian sects use the threat of Satan and hell to traumatise people into following the religion.
@realcaseyrollins
I guess the thinking goes somehow like this:
"People are not supposed to talk with racists. Interacting with racists means treating them like human beings and we must treat them like inhuman monsters. We need to lock them up in the deepest depths of hell and pretend they don't exist."

So I guess I should start learning Python 2 then.

Never mind. I just saw it.

I still don't understand where from do people know this was a fetish thing.
@matrix
I hope someone gets trolled in there.

This is kinda why I don't do Cloud backups. I've seen so many articles and tech guys advising people do Cloud backups for their data, and all I can think is: are you insane? I have more faith in my external drive. I'd rather backup to DVDs. I'd rather backup to millions of floppy disks.
Sure, if you have nothing else, at least do cloud backup. But only if you can do it free. If you're going to pay money, get some external drives, or if you have the tech expertise, make yourself a NAS.
