I don’t think I’ve had any non-woke friends, judging from my social media. I don’t even know where you’d meet people like that lol.
She said the other day, literally, “You can’t be racist against white people”.
It’s extremely fucking worrying. I’m in the same situation. I think most people are. It seems 95% of my “friends” and former classmates support this race angle. No wonder when their favorite corporations and celebrities and workplaces all unanimously take the race line.
The facts, however, don’t support the race angle. But I don’t want to lose my entire social circle. It’s so lonely, and I only have this place left, it seems like. And the front page just stresses me out even more.
This is a little heavy for me, but I may have to dig in. Honestly, the fact that no one around me even questions these things (and also some of the things I’ve just read about The Creature from Jekyll Island) is making me hesitant. I don’t want to become like a headcase who believes in conspiracy theories everywhere, but it’s getting harder to understand what I’m seeing without at least one conspiracy being involved.
Idk, now I’m wondering how the world seems in the eyes of someone powerful but not corrupted by leftism like Elon Musk. Surely you can’t become that wealthy and powerful without seeing behind the curtains of at least one conspiracy, if it exists. This makes me hesitant to accept these, even if they seem to explain some of what I see. (Then again, it seems most of my friends can justify what they see in the world using a supposed conspiracy of right wing lunatics and white supremacists in the government, so idk.)
Joggers gonna jog.
But that doesn’t make me angry. I’ve grown accustomed to not being able to walk around in any given inner part of an American city without seeing crazy black homeless people everywhere and joggers with bandanas screaming at each other across the street like it’s normal. I’ve visited to Eastern Europe a few times recently, and it’s crazy that you can walk around anywhere in the city without tribes having set up camp in and dominating a certain part of it. But I’m still used to inner city Chicago and NYC being like this.
No, the thing that stresses me out and occupies my waking hours lately is that every person I know, black or white, none of them joggers or anything close to it, is 100% in support of these riots. People I thought were levelheaded, posting on IG about how protests that don’t lead to change lead to riots instead. We’ve been pushed from Reddit here, where no one can see. Who’s breaking the conditioning of this generation? It seems fucking lost to me, unless we get a platform to push back sanity with. Does Trump know this? We have to leave the echo chamber and grow.
Ah I thought it was a video of someone saying to vote Biden to end the riots
Do you have any good sources I can cite for that? Not that these people will listen to reason. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
I’m there too, today I went through my Instagram stories and unfollowed every single person that posted a picture of MLK. Yes, I’m sure MLK loves the fact that so many of his people now commit crimes at an astronomical rate, and then people try to attest the fact that they’re inevitably arrested more and thus face more (disgusting when it happens) police brutality to... racism?
I can understand them in that they would be okay with justified “violence” to get their ends (the tree of liberty is something we know full well here as well). But the fact that they have so readily accepted the very weak justification of these protests... Forget the joggers, they love victimizing themselves.
I have an 11 year old cousin with non-English-speaking and she’s already talking about how Trump is the worst, and so-and-so YouTuber is racist, and another one is problematic and sexist. It’s not her parents. Where is she hearing these views? I’ve been purposefully cut off from the leftosphere since 2016, when I stopped being a SJW.
Who is it though? Or them. No more of this casual references to the magical “they”. We need to find the specific root of this, with evidence, and fix it. Who’s directing this media effort, who’s telling these celebrities to push these things, or what is influencing these college professors into becoming professional indoctrinators. Because it’s insane seeing almost all of my childhood friends falling for this and going along with it.
Is there something we can do to stem this tide? These people who act with their feelings instead of the facts. If you don’t think about it and you’re not exposed to the inside of some walls that are now branded “racist” and that you are psychologically discouraged from peering into (such as crime statistics), then the default position one will acquire is emotional, blind leftism.
I’m a legal immigrant and I love this country (or at least what it’s supposed to be, and seemed like it was when I arrived as a teen in 2002) and now I’m finding myself wondering what the fuck I got myself into. It’s looking like a damn third world country with these looting animals and false victimhood. I used to be leftist too, but I had some principles, so it’s just maddening to see this. I’m sure the Founding Fathers were leftist according to some people then. I’m whatever they are. Be that “conservative” or not.
It is so fucking disheartening to look at my Instagram feed and see every single story from almost every single high school and college friend (basically, anyone I’ve ever known, really) talking about “microcolorism” and “black lives” and what to wear to a protest. Then you have Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish and whatnot, and pretty much anyone I follow that I don’t personally know. Then every celebrity bailing out rioters. Even people I thought were based are doing it. Have all these people always been cucked?
As far as I can tell from the data, there’s no evidence that black people suffer any more from police brutality than anyone else relative to how often they are arrested for a crime (4 to 8 times the rate of any other race). If anyone finds anything to the contrary, let me know so maybe I can understand these people coming out of the woodworks to support this, something I don’t understand right now. If not, then every person in my life is apparently blind sheep, and how do you defeat something like that? Something that has conquered apparently 90% of the people I know and grew up with?
It’s fucking lonely and stressful rn.
Libertarian environmentalists unite? Libertarianism was probably “left wing” at some point (1770s British Empire, maybe), but whatever. And fuck me, I don’t think we should be putting carbon dioxide into the air like there’s no tomorrow.
Here’s the rub: Modern leftists think a society/social contract like the constitution is less fragile than it is; they don’t appreciate how good we have it, and that it needs preservation (not constant change). They think all of history was this good, and that it can’t get fucked at the drop of a hat.
And many modern right wingers think the global climate is less fragile than it is: they don’t appreciate how good we have it, and that it too needs preservation (not constant change). They think the Earth’s climate was this livable for humans for all of geologic history, and that it can’t get fucked. At least you may be able move to a semi-okay country after leftists fuck this one up (Switzerland?), but you can’t find a better planet or climate than the one we’re literally embedded biologically into. Fuck Greta the self-righteous retard child, but damn.
