The more nuanced answer is that they're socially sheltered and got swept up in the cargo cult version of direct action that says being a piece of poo poo is progressive and effective, and college is the only place where you can get enough of this variety of naive shithead together to exist as a group. From what I've seen, after college they either quickly burn out from the constant toxicity and competitive social structure, they shrink into being a twitter bot with 3 followers, or they get the dubious honor of being a punching bag like arthur chu.

That clown Suey Park pulled that poo poo when given the opportunity to explain the point she was making in an interview after the guy said he wasn't minimalising her opinions or saying she didn't have a right to them but that her saying all of this after misunderstanding satire made it a stupid opinion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNK-e6nnFGY&t=290s

She kicked up a stink in response to a tweet from @StephenColbert(which, while verified, wasn't his personal account or one controlled by the show, so it might have been a network run thing?) during the Redskins stuff that was in the news a couple of years.



She also said, when asked what she wanted to achieve with #cancelcolbert, that it was a loaded question and seemed like she was on the defensive from the start.

This segment came out of the whole stink which was pretty good.

That nonsense has got to stop. It implicitly is your job to educate people if you enter into discussions with them under the guise of expertise and have arguments for why they should change their conduct that are stronger than "Because you're making me feel bad."

Also don't talk to Josh Zepp. He ironically calls himself "An elite". What's wrong with that Australian boy that he thinks it's good to call himself an elite?

this too. they dont care about educating people. its about Feeling good and superior and assuaging guilt they feel for poo poo thats out of their control or that their ancestor did. the thing is i agree with their core ideals, its just full of weird right wing rheotric styles now and weird zealot poo poo.

Note that the original study demonstrated an increase in anger towards an involved third party caused by guilt, not that anger at injustice is 'largely' a result of maintaining a moral identity.

That's important, because there's a Reason.com article linked there, that tries to take it to the weird conclusion that all altruism is guilt-induced (it's a libertarian site), which isn't supported, nor likely.

Essentially they just showed projection exists, which is probably relevant to a lot of people this thread looks at. But it's difficult to say what is 'real' (empathy motivated) or 'fake' (self-serving) outrage, without really being able to go through someone's head, and see the reasons why. You can't even do that for yourself reliably.

Maybe the problem is relying on anger in the first place, or relying on anger alone, to motivate change. It seems powerful, but it's unreliable.

I just read this mind-blowing study that claims anything other than the pursuit of relentless self-satisfaction is actually just the pursuit of relentless self-satisfaction in disguise? maybe ayn rand was right...*

ossoff is doing better than expected in that special election because the dems paid attention to it and didn't use the russia poo poo as much on the campaign. imagine if they did that for James Thompson or will actually do it for Jon Quist in Montana (probably not as they're both more populist)

I don't think that's unreasonable either. Like If I rocked a mullet to the same sort of job, and was allowed? Then yeah, that policy would be lovely and racist.

But it it's a thing across the board? Yeah, that happens at jobs. Sometimes they have a certain code. The problem with this is culture, fashion, music and what have you are such a bizarre thing in regards to ownership. I mean by definition, us whites should have been offended when Snoop Dogg and Puff Daddy were rocking Ralph Lauren back in the day. But really...no one cared. (and why the gently caress should we? it's a free country. wear whatever the gently caress you want).

It just seems to be a lot of poo poo rich people talk about. I mean poor people don't give a poo poo for the most part. They're far too worried about putting food on the tables then arguing about this sort of crap. I'm just confused as to why this whole "woke' movement is such a major fad now, and why it's not gone away.

There are a subset of people who just love pointless authoritarianism and I will never understand it. Like with the fundie Christians most are happy just practicing their religion, but a lot also insist on having the political realm totally endorse every aspect of their religion. Then you have another subset who aren't happy with those two things and absolutely must go out of their way to make the lives of individual gays and atheists as miserable as humanly possible to satisfy their bizarre authoritarian urges, those people are scum. The mega-woke people like that girl who was physically assaulting some 100lbs white dude for having dreads would be the flipside of that third group.

I still keep thinking of what Kyle Kulinski, David Pakman and others have said in regards to their being two subsets of the "left" (as would be the right). There's the "libertarian" left, of which I imagine most people would shrug their shoulders at a great deal of stuff, and then there's the "authoritarian/conservative" left which we see a lot of today.

If we're doing this on a micro level? Perhaps the attitudes of people like Tipper Gore and Hillary Clinton on various forms of media in the past might be accurate in that regard. Both of whom kinda stood hand in hand with fundies to prevent heavy metal albums and violent video games from being "things" because of "THE CHILDREN!"

This is all that needs to be posted.

It is just incredibly thick headed and obtuse though. Bob seems to be like some sort of pseudo member of the aristocracy and doesn't understand how the electoral college works. HRC could have easily...easily been POTUS had she actually even tried to campaign in the "Blue wall" states that she thought were a sure thing.

My other thought is...to just flat out assume "sexism" for the Trump side is also idiotic. I've chatted with conservatives, trump supporters and what have you (ie, my own father, others) about figures like Sarah Palin, KellyAnne Conway, Condi Rice, Margaret Thatcher, Nikki Haley and Ann Coulter. All of which are women, all of which were met with high praise, and implications that they would support them had they ran for public office. Hell I've even seen praise for Ivanka Trump and her politics are actually pretty "left" leaning IIRC.

I think the country is ready for a female president, hell it might actually be from the right. I just don't think that people in this country liked Hillary for how she acted personally.

Nix Panicus
Feb 25, 2007

I saw a theory that much of the apathy about Hillary being a woman, especially from younger women, was because many of them didn't believe being a woman candidate was a significant hurdle or a major achievement in and of itself. Ironically the success of feminism may have undercut Hillary's appeals to feminism.
