At first I thought it was a lead-in to "...hey, we're all human, let's all try to get along..."
Then it took a hard left into some really weird 'My ideology must be appeased!!!111' libtard shit.
Reminded me of when I lived in Portland. I'd do nice things for the neighbors, but they still remained standoffish for the most part. Polite when socially 'cornered', sure... even civil. But there was always that undercurrent of considering me as part of The Other(tm).
( To be fair, I experienced similar while living in Salt Lake City, but in that case it was because all of the neighbors' activities centered around the local Ward, so it's obvious that as a non-Mormon I didn't participate, thus... )
It's a peak into the selfish narcissism our schools and shit parents have ingrained into this generation, my fellow millennials. He/she/it (whatever the fuck these retarded fake news people identify as) can manage to take this kind act, which I'm sure the neighbor didn't care at all about, and create this dramatized clown reality out of it. If psychologists actually did their jobs we'd be hearing all about this mental health crisis that is liberalism.
One of the problems is that the psychology and social work departments have been almost entirely taken over by women. I went to some sort of event at a psychology department at a major university and absolutely everyone working there was a woman.
Same sort of issue with the teaching profession.
There’s a massive lack of balance where one sort of thinking style (such as emotional rather than technical/logical) dominates and problems start happening because of that. Diversity of brain function (empathizing vs systemizing for example) is actually needed in these fields and you get less of that if 1) everyone is a woman and 2) the “politically incorrect” women are kicked out or leave.
Well, to be fair, I also have a hard time believing an honest and well-informed person can genuinely believe Hillary or Biden would make a good president.
I also can’t give my neighbors absolution; it’s not mine to give. Free driveway work, as nice as it is, is just not the same currency as justice and truth. To pretend it is would be to lie, and they probably aren’t looking for absolution anyway.
People like this are so brainwashed that they are unwilling to consider that they may not know what justice and truth actually are.
Funny thing is that typically they’ll believe in postmodernism which denies that objective truth exists, which means everything is (supposedly) objectively false. So basically what she is complaining is that the neighbors don’t accept the correct false “truth claims” that “assert power” for social “justice” etc. “Truth” is redefined to mean “whatever asserts power in the correct way” even if it’s objectively provably false.
LOL - not SLC (I lived deep in Sugarhouse at the time, which made the whole thing even odder).
You might see sanity up North, around the Layton and Ogden areas; Hill AFB tends to de-mormonize things, yet has enough military families around to keep it at least somewhat based (my wife is from around there). Just don't go too far south or north from there - Kaysville/Bountiful is hard LDS Central, as is Logan/Brigham City. Provo is prolly still the hardest-Mormon of them all.
Been almost a couple of decades since I last lived there though, so take it all with a grain or forty of salt :)
Ditto.

It’s like that Lena Dunham critter complaining she wasn’t objectified by an athlete at some award show. Lol. They are nuts
How fast can I start talking about Nazis...3 paragraphs oughtta be about right.
This is what I thought. It's inevitable.

Bring back Dr. Frasier Crane.
Hell, I’d take Niles over a harpy.
we need to demand mandatory gender diversity in teaching positions.
Next do nursing.
Hush. Quit giving Christians a bad name.
They can't put together that a person can like Trump and be a kind neighbor. Otherwise they'd have to admit the tv was lying to them

They call their kind neighbors racist Nazis because they live in a white neighborhood. Where they also live. Only they aren't kind, so they're cool.

We are in this mess BECAUSE of paychologists.
Stuck in SLC this place is insane. It's as blue as Portland now. And the surrounding area has the ward issues.
Where can someone move to just be normal?
rural Texas
From the article (this writer has peak TDS):
Why would they seek absolution or anything else from this godless creature? Ugh

And they say it's not a religion.
They’re already deplorable and irredeemable, so fuck this guy’s absolution.
It would be fun to meet this slag in person, see what such a raging xxxx looks like.
Who not only thinks this tripe but actually writes it, then makes it public?
Seattle is filled with this type.
Florida
Salt Lake is pretty bad these days. I'm about an hour north, I'm non-mormon and the community is great.
Doesn't Utah have the fastest growing White population? The Mormans have been breeding like rabbits lately.
Lately.
West Virginia, anywhere but Charleston, Morgantown, or Martinsburg.
I’d argue Morgantown is fine, it’s just the college students.
All I know is I went there for a WVU game and one of the churches had a fag flag
I'm in SoCal (for now) and have just learned to ignore or ridicule them while forming my own little enclave of like-minded peeps.
But the real answer is you have to get away from the grid to find people who aren't all caught up in this ridiculous ideology.
Example: I visited the Philippines not long ago. Couldn't stand anything about Manila, but loved everyone I met in the outer islands.

I lived in sugar house about 10 years ago and my jaw dropped driving through there a month ago. The construction is insane.
They’ve always Been hippie liberals, but they’ve cranked it up to 11.
"These neighbors are staunch partisans of blue lives, and there aren't a lot of anything other than white lives in the neighborhood."
They lost me on the 4th paragraph.
WE DON'T CARE ABOUT COLOR, ONLY LIFE!!! Wish I could scream that into their heads every 10 minutes until it sinks in.
Also, the author is failing to examine that she herself has also chosen to live in a lilly white neighborhood. Hypocrisy much?
Self-awareness appears to not be a strong suit of her ilk.
The sad thing is, liberals treat me just as poorly when I was a liberal. lol.
This dumb bitch ain't makin it out of 2021.
