We've all seen the memes that show pussy hat marches vs mathletics, comparing how right and left delt with a loss.
I think that one of the major differentiating characteristics between the groups is how we were raised. The long standing joke is that 'this is what you get when everyone gets a trophy'.
The group that never really knew losing didn't know what to do. The group that never had to 'try harder next time' shattered once they felt true defeat for once.
I have really begun to pity these people. Instead of digging in and doing the work needed to advance their worldview honestly, they started scheming of ways to bypass the rules. They appealed to those in power to save them. Everything hinged on the state to do for them what they wanted. EVERYTHING. It was the beginning and end of their effort. Call the FBI, call up Twatter, get the allies in high places to save them.
These people are the floppers. When I played basketball and soccer in high school, there often seemed to be those kids that would dramatically go flying and act hurt to try and get favorable calls from the ref. These same kids were never the ones that would grit their teeth and push through anything.
I'm proud to be a part of this place. I'm proud of you pedes.
I may be the dumb kid who basically rides the bench, but I'm glad I get to be on your team.
