Everyone here is a dumbfuck?

"Hillary Clinton was there."

Love that line.

I heard all of that in my head in a Russian accent.

You're hilarious! Lemme hear another one 😻

This is amazing. Write a book.

I'd second that. As I'm a young upper middle class white guy. Its within the MO of entitlement.

It wouldnt surprise me but I'd go with it coming from an upper middle class scrawny white dude with your guess being a close second.

Very likely. It's the sort of bullshit the so called 'upper middle class' idiots would come up with.

checkin in

Yes!

True.

You'd think "ist" and "phobe" were created for a reason.

Do you ever wear a kilt? 🤔

If you get traumatized by what you see here you're gonna have a lot of problems in life

If you get traumatized by what you read here don't login . If you aren't able to stop yourself from logging in, thus lessening your daily trauma(and eliminating one source of which you have control) seek the help of a professional.

Highly doubt it

I feel you're making the mistake of viewing this as a left-versus-right sort of thing or something similar. Notice they didn't say "Republicans" in the post (although of course it's possible they mean it) or something like that. I can't say what OP will say in the future but as currently stood their post merely addressed racists as racists, etc.

So there's not (presently) any burden of proof here regarding whether or not a certain group meets these descriptions. Therefore in this context we're simply talking about straight up, definitive racists, etc. regardless of anything else about them. Surely you wouldn't then insinuate these people should simply be overlooked, perhaps heard out.

"You just identify with them because you feel oppressed in life yourself."

I can't speak for OP but that's a deeply troubling assumption. Why reach that conclusion? Must one fear rape to have a problem with rapists? That takes us to the next common assumption besides personal oppression, virtue signaling.

I'm a straight, white, cis male, so I'm not exactly oppressed, at least no more than anyone is (we all are), and I feel deeply for the victims of all of these issues. Anyone who finds that (even remotely) hard to believe has said way more about their own personality than mine. It's incredibly revealing when people cry "virtue signaling" and the like in response to criticism of xenophobia. If I say I'm against rape I'm not virtue signaling. If I say I'm against the human trafficking of children I'm not virtue signaling. If I say I'm against animal cruelty... oh wait. Uh oh. Lines are already blurring. Maybe virtue signaling? Homophobia, definitely virtue signaling.

I've went over it and over it in my mind and sadly the only thing I can think of is that it's where their own empathy begins to drop off. It's where the issues begin to become non-issues to them regardless of what they say. If it's not, then why have I never once been accused of it when discussing human trafficking? Why am I not just trying to look like a fantastic guy? Is it because we just assume everyone should have a problem with that and don't do the same with these issues because they're... just not that big of a deal? It is. It is what it is and it's fucking sad. These people look at someone who says they have a big problem with racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. as if they've just said, "I just donated half of my organs to dying children right after I sold all my possessions to fund my trip in which I personally rescued 200 polar bears."

Not being a xenophobic asshole isn't worthy of a damn gold medal! It's not far from the bare fucking minimum you can ask of a person in modern society. Are we virtue signaling because we mention we don't intentionally piss on the floor in public restrooms as well? Is there an award for that? Maybe a gold star sticker that says, "Congratulations on functioning in society."

People like OP don't have to be personally oppressed and they don't have to be trying to impress anyone either. They just care about issues that leave us feeling mind-boggled as to how others wouldn't also care. I feel that their very understandable anger makes the still-harsh words they have said appear harsher on the surface than they really are. Notice they actually haven't wished a premature death on anyone. They've simply made the mistake of assuming these problems will all but vanish with the older generations and they're quite ready for that to go ahead and naturally happen.

Personally, I'd prefer these people simply change and keep on trucking with us. Like you said, sometimes they mean well. They're often more motivated by a perpetual cycle of ignorance than malice. But I'm not going to act like there isn't an enormous problem.

I don't identify with them, I'm not "oppressed" in my own life, and I hope people who advocate war and the genocide of children are well-meaning human beings who don't mean to traumatize generations of minorities who have access to the internet.

I'm sorry if I made this an age issue, but it really isn't.

Enlighten us

It's a right wing circle jerk here. Honestly makes it kind of fun for me though because they're easy to pick apart.

Or are legitimately like that. That's why it's so tasty to converse with them to try to break their thought process.

Why would it be a troll post? Besides seemingly blaming it all on older generations and eagerly awaiting their death, I agree with it.

As a black man trying to make it in this world, that explains why you only have two other comments as of this response.

Ya she ageist

Yes. That's indeed what we tend to label discriminatory views

To be fair, they said "inhumane patriots" although I'll be honest in that I find blind patriotism in general idiotic.

What do we do when widely shared opinions turn into action, conflict, further segregation, further protests, further deaths?

How would you feel about someone sharing the opinion "rape is okay" or "children can consent" here? Would we be out of line to condemn that? I've seen both.

I lasted about 5 minutes on twitter before a i got banned. Oddly enough it said on there if I gave twitter my real name and cellphone number I could be unbanned but that just sketched me out

I certainly _hope_ the future criticizes this period. It's pretty fucked still.
