    Not sure the whole internet was woke, the nazis and pedophiles have been here for quite a while too. But they were on the fringe and shunned by the larger internet culture until relatively recently. Trump started courting the votes of the worst side of the internet. Then the pandemic brought a bunch of "normies" online whose brains weren't ready for the culture shock, and rather than accepting the freaks and geeks, they decided the nazis were the normal ones.

    In the early days the Internet was mainly people in STEM Universities and Science Institutes (plus a handful of Military geeks), and those kinds of people in my experience tend to be more liberal (in the traditional sense of "live and let live", rather than the US politics sense) minded than average.
