So there I am, hanging out w/my neighbors in the People's Republic of Chicago.

We're mostly just acquaintances, and we shoot the shit occasionally. Of the 3 guys, 2 live in the apartment complex, one an ardent Trump hater, the other probably the same, but less so, and doesn't feel the need to mention it every 5 seconds.

The third guy lives around the corner. As the night progresses, he mentions that he not only thinks the booing of the NFL players is RACIST, but that he's the leader of a local BLM chapter.

I'll refer to the white BLM guy, level 3. The white ardent Trump hater, level 2. The third white guy level 1.

At some point, someone mentions something supposedly RACIST that is happening in society( I don't remember exactly what the topic was as I had already had a few), and I basically say "so what," to whatever was being said, and I ask the question.... "Am I the LEAST offended person here?"

The ardent Trump hater replies, "YES!"

At least, the level 1 guy has some awareness, raises his hands and goes "wtf?" And I'm just like, "Yep, this is 2020." So the level 1 guy thought it was weird that the only black person there is the least offended by whatever situation we were talking about at the time.

This situation is a microcosm of the typical sensibilities of these people I encounter daily. These people are insane, and believe they are in the throws of Jim Crow and the civil rights movement. These people are beyond saving, and SEPARATION of the authoritarian/identatarian society, and a more libertarian society is the only thing that can save us.

This story probably doesn't make sense as I'm telling it, and it didn't make sense to me as I was in it. But hopefully my semi-hungover ramblings makes sense to a few people? Can't wait to gtfo Chicago.
