And I forgot to add this. A fellow co worker noticed my conservative stance and approached me to tell me he was also conservative. He invited me to a conservative emailing group around the company. Turns out there are a lot more of us than I thought. We even coordinate on bills to vote on in our state etc.
How would this have happened if we were all hiding and not willing to be honest? They win through silence and self censor.
I mean I'm middle aged. And I work in high tech. Like top 3 tech companies in the world. Swimming in liberals. I never pretend to be liberal. I don't wear a mask one second longer than necessary. This morning at the meeting when they started in on the vaccine shit, I asked if we could keep the meeting on topic. You don't have to be an asshole to let people know you are conservative. You'll probably never understand if you don't already.
I can't get people to realize protests were put in place to stop violence. A protest is supposed to be a way of saying, we are protesting instead of forcibly removing you from office and getting a guillotine. That's why BLM and antifa get away with all of this. They are actually willing to fight and go to jail. They realized protests weren't doing anything anymore because they have no real threat behind them. So they reintroduced the threat. Until we are ready to match this, we will continue to lose.
Think of it like this. Why would your kids keep listening to your warnings when you aren't going to actually discipline them and they know it.
Politicians have no incentive to listen. There's no threat behind conservative protests.
I agree with the first.
The second is debatable. If enough people stop it will affect them. If they start raising prices or becoming more hostile to vendors we may see change.
And again. None of that matters to me. I recycle, I exercise, I boycott evil corporations. Doesn't matter what everyone else is doing.
This is called learning how to function in a society. All civilized people are taught to make everyone comfortable so society can function without fear.
All I read was my people are ignorant and can't/won't learn better as a whole.
You ever notice successful black people acknowledge their race but don't make it their entire being and just live their life?
Talking and making memes doesn't do anything.
