Someone said I needed a trigger warning for this:



I don't know why.


Real talk though. On one hand, it does feel like the SJW/Tumblr crowd massively overused it, and thus the alt-right backlashed against it because ~reasons~ (same reason for all the genders Tumblr seems to claim: read online bullying). I think the tl;dr of it is that the alt-right here is pushing that "YOU'RE A BUNCH OF PUSSIES" when in reality it is delegitimatizing those who would actually like them, such as soldiers or rape victims.

Or an even shorter tl;dr: :pedophiles:

She's talking naturalised first-generation immigrants. It's a reasonable thing to say for anyone who isn't on as rabidly anti-immigrant platform as Team Trump.

somehow I doubt they are meeting with leaders of the Somali or Ethiopian immigrant communities, and are instead counting whoever they can get in a room as "leaders from many different countries"

Real talk though. On one hand, it does feel like the SJW/Tumblr crowd massively overused it, and thus the alt-right backlashed against it because ~reasons~ (same reason for all the genders Tumblr seems to claim: read online bullying). I think the tl;dr of it is that the alt-right here is pushing that "YOU'RE A BUNCH OF PUSSIES" when in reality it is delegitimatizing those who would actually like them, such as soldiers or rape victims.

You can get pizza like that in detroit a lot, however it only looks like that if you are ordering just a cheese pizza, with a normal amount of toppings it looks way more normal, and its also really good as it always has the cheese caramelized on the crust

I was under the impression that the notion of a widespread Tumblr crowd that is overtly politically correct in the dumb way right wingers use the term is a myth by, well, the right wingers and people trying to earn independent cred. Even if such a thing exists outside the Internet it's unlikely to be a large enough demographic to take seriously.

A lot of the over the top tumblr folks are trolls created by people to mock them drat SJWs. Then alt-right type folks use them to prove PC has gone crazy and the cycle continues.

There is some reality to it, like students getting a production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson cancelled, or many instances of speakers being cancelled, some of them not even right wing assholes, but it's way overblown.
