    I appreciate you calling out the use of the term “normie”. Communities that frequently use such terms always end up with an unhealthy “us vs them” mentality.

    Like I’m not surprised people don’t react well to someone bringing up privacy issues if said person starts the conversation with the mentality of “how do I enlighten this normie?”

      What’s hilarious is that it becomes normalized by a majority in a community then a minority breaks off once it does and the cycle starts again. It’s normies all the way down.
