I live in rantoul. Real small town but on both sides of me are urbana and Champaign and both had riots. There's a lot of red in illinois but I live in a small blue blob outside of all of that.
Thanks for the concern friend. I'll be fine and I know. I've been a busy bee and with that stress my mind goes places in my free time.
It would be a splendorous thing to have an American hero on here. I demand it, build her a statue.
To them that what would be a slur. If you say someone should be judged by their character, that the people best qualified for the job should be hired...ect...they will call you out as a racist or for your "white privilege."
At this point I'm boycotting everything.
Wait a mintute...there's boobies in this picture...
I had a friend on facebook today going nuts when I shared this. A "majority of our society is racist" She said. Went on about white privilege despite the fact I'm not even white. What I can't believe is how someone can be so blind as to believe that. Racism clearly isnt accepted if they've taken to witch hunting people for even the slightest amount of wrong think. We're not living under a "fascist dictator" if people are allowed to flood the streets to protest/riot. Now they're killing people outright for saying "all lives matter." I'm living in an orwellian dystopia.
This is painful levels of cringe.
Ah, the middle schoolers are quite rambunctious this summer I see.
Others have already countered your arguments...but do you really believe you came here to get a look at what the other side has to say? It doesn't seem like it. The way you've gone about it comes off in a way that makes it clear to me you're trying to demoralize us. You know what you're doing wrong. You've come here to reassure yourself that you're on the "winning side" and by your lack of responses to the questions we've asked you I assume you didn't come here for debate...either that or you don't have the answers.
The woman never ceases to amaze. I always believe I've seen the depth of her stupidity and then she opens her mouth again and somehow takes me off guard.
I never thought a political ad would make me straight up cry, Damn.
Whats frustrating is this shits going down in my community while people who don't have to worry about it and only seeing what they want to see say it ain't the rioters being violent. Worse...some say its necessary...like this shit paints them in a good light. Like it's going to make everyone look at all the fires and beatings and say "hey...maybe they were right all along." Stupid...because I've never been pushed further away from their side than i have now. I've been on this site twice as much since it started.
Even in death, he'll try to justify it. It is their way. They are the dodo of 2020.
Yeah Pocs are too, no denying. I just find all the pandering when they'll hate on those who stray from their beliefs hypocritical. Its all cringe to me.
Amen. As a non-white person I've faced more racism from white liberals than any conservative...that's for sure.
In their foolish foolishness they've gone and busted up their own. Their stupidity is astounding and The hilarity of it all is astronomical.
I certainly know where I stand as of now and regardless of who leaves me behind or whatever is said about me i've yet to be deterred. Funnily enough I tend to seem to attract people with full on TDS and my brother jokes its because i don't look the part of a Trump supporter. Not sure what he means by that or what people expect a Trump supporter to look like but i guess its a good thing as i can drop stealthy red pills.
That's rough, I'm sorry to hear that friend. I would be able to coexist with them easily were it not for the toxicity and always seeming to go out of Their way to make people feel uncomfortable/bad. I've only been a Trump supporter a couple years...was big into Bernie before then. Mostly because he was talked about a lot here...i was probably 17 or 18 or so then and am 22 now so i was fairly impressionable and I had a dramatic "meltdown" over him not winning. When i actually got involved i switched sides fairly quickly and began to realize all the hateful posts online from friends and even some family were basically directed at me. It does have a way to make you feel lonely. I've always had depression and I have had traumatic experiences and while in some ways just being on the side I'm on has put me through the mental ringer as I've come to terms with the fact people who'd known me for years and everyone who'd alway sworn up and down that I'm a nice guy would label me a Nazi now, i love being a part of all this and I love being on here as i know better than to think we're any hate group. It's hard but we're not alone.
With the fact none of my friends are based and would demand my death for my stance as I'm born and raised in blue illinois, alongside my crippling depression making it incredibly difficult to get close to me, i have no true friends and henceforth have nothing to lose when I shitpost. My friends list has shrunk vastly since I found my way.
I saw someone on my FB page telling people to not believe the media and that the protests are actually peaceful and that the riots are basically a media conspiracy and to further virtue signal they warned illegals to stay away and be careful.
She's not big into politics. She's only been following current events since the coronavirus and since then she seems to buy into just about everything the tv/ articles she reads online tells her.
Many things, friend. Am overworked and my mom insists on bringing him up every phone call 😅
Still a rookie pede myself honestly. If i get into any conversation with most fellow pedes I get slapped with mountains of information i've slept on and end up in an existential crisis. Here in illinois i can't even debate my mother over our governor and her primary talking point is simply "i like him."
Will do friend. I have a me day coming up tomorrow so I'll make the time then.
