See, that was my take on it, but I have noticed a shift, somewhat recently. I check /popular every now and then just to see what's happening around the internet, and they'd always pop up. It's gotten distinctly more "accepting" of taxation and stuff. I literally thought this yesterday, like "am I crazy or has it flipped a bit".
I wouldn't quote me on sub narratives, my browsing is sporadic at best, but that's what I'm remembering.
Dual Sense, don't do PTT. But I have an overlay so I know of background noise is popping up to mute or stop breathing so loud.
