It is not an overstatement to say Elevatorgate, Gamergate, woke 1.0, Trump & Biden, were only possible in a world without Hitch.The leftists aka woke, (Politically correct, as they were called at the time) started to clash with the atheist movement. Leftoids were never very happy with talking shit about Islam or Judaism and without Hitch the prominent atheists were old professors who didn't have it in them to put up a fight and cause a ruckus.Anyway, Elevatorgate was the moment this schism came to a head, and elevatorgate set the blueprint for gamergate, which set the blueprint for the entire culture war which resulted in /pol/ itself existing, MAGA and Biden, the woke 2.0 backlash, the war in Iran, the DSA and whatever catastrophe happens next...
