I'm a pretty hardcore liberal, but I'm not gonna cover my ears every time people start talking about political strategies for the right, especially because she's talking about a fairly liberal public access station. Also lol at "white liberal complacency" she's white

White liberal complacency in a definite problem though. There's a definite tendency for hand wringing over problems without committing to any solutions.

Also being white doesn't mean you can't get mad at white people for being awful. Calling out white people for being awful also doesn't mean you hate all white people.

Fair enough, but she certainly fits that bill of white liberal complacency, so I found it hypocritical. I should also mention that even though she has pale white skin and her hair is completely straight, she's a small fraction black, so she thinks that she has to deal with the same problems that people of color have to, which is really more the thing that pissed me off.

Some more context would have been helpful, apologies.

Even better is that the rant is posted on Facebook, the ultimate in useless hand-wringing over issues.

I was sick of this meme after two posts. Everyone is posting some stupid version of this.

The most annoying is the one about not posting about how it's snowing because your friends have windows. It hasn't snowed in two weeks. Do they not see the irony in complain-posting about snow when it hasn't snowed?

I'm just waiting for a racist one to show up. I did see a post this morning about how refugees are pussies compared to white people because when the Europeans came to North America, they didn't ask for special handouts or anything. Guess they forgot the white people simply invaded and flat out murdered everyone who was already here and stole their lands. Oh well!

Want to know what I’m thankful for? The redpill that I accidentally swallowed a few months ago on my my 22nd birthday. I’m still choking on that loving thing, but I know that it is good for me even though I’ve gauged multiple times while forcing it down.

This red pill has not only opened my eyes to how awful women are, it has caused me to question other things as well. Like why I spent time with my family multiple times a year. I don’t like my siblings. I don’t like their partners, and I only vaguely like my mother. She birthed me, but drat she is manipulative. The only reason why I go to these events is because I feel obligated. On the inside I’d rather not go, 100%. No question about it. gently caress Birthdays, gently caress X-mas, an gently caress Thanksgiving.

I’m considering calling my mother and telling her that I’m not going to Thanksgiving because I don’t want to. The people there suck. They are unsupportive, jealous, and passive aggressive. Why purposefully expose myself to that nonsense? My lingering bluepill mentality has thought of multiple excuses to tell her. I could say that I can’t get off work, or that I’m sick. Lying or going anyway are both poor options. If I tell the truth, it will hurt her, and possibly my relatives, but I don’t care anymore. I’d rather die as a truth teller than to live as a coward.

I’m been radically changing every day since my perspective has shifted. I believe that I’m a pushover that is morphing into a man who only does things that he wants to do.

Doesn't seem like a bad post to me at all, other than the last two sentences (which are obvious posturing). In the supposed interest of fairness (but actually in the interest of maintaining good relationships with powerful organisations and individuals) various media organisations give an audience and implied credibility to views that they should be, at the very least, questioning if not outright challenging.

It's not even new, I don't know why it's suddenly taken hold of the entire world but I wish it would stop. My feed is usually fairly poo poo free.

Pretty sure no matter where you live if snow is a legitimate possibility it will be complained about regularly regardless of if it has actually snowed lately or not. Like i'm in wisconsin and despite the relative lack of snow this season there are complaints about it everywhere

I usually just lurk in this thread, but today something popped up on my FB feed that I felt I had to share.



Crappy grammar aside, this message says exactly what you think it does. The guy's two teenage daughters were murdered, and he's calling out the murderer's dad on Facebook. Specifically, he's asking if the dad (or his gun???) feel ashamed. I cannot see this ending well.
