I guess I was naive. I thought pronouns were just dumb university nonsense like micro aggressions and whatever trendy grievance is popular. No I feel in the next few years we may be forced to list them. And to think less than ten years ago saying that men can’t get pregnant or that gender dysphoria doesn’t make you the opposite sex was accepted fact.
I still say putting your pronouns in a bio is silly.
In the space they occupy. Which is a tiny angry corner of the internet.
Put down the phone, go do something else.
Just a "tiny angry corner of the internet" which was created by university indoctrination and supported by governments, banks, and multinational corporations.
"Just ignore it, they'll go away!"
This isn't 2015 anymore. These kinds of things pushed by Critical Theory are increasing, not decreasing.
But it feels like there is nothing we can do. Luckily at my workplace diversity seminars are voluntary but I’m sure they will force us eventually.
All you can do is find out which of your coworkers are true believers of the woke cult and make sure you never trust them or help them.
You survive the spread of this cancer by discovering who are the non woke coworkers you have and by forging strong relationships with them in order to secure your position.
If you are fully surrounded by wokeism on all sides then you might need to find different employment or consider entrepreneurship.
I live in rural Iowa.
I haven't watched network television in a decade. The last movie I paid to see was Master & Commander.
You're in a bubble same as they are.
I guarantee you, outside your sphere of experience, nobody gives a fuck about crazy people.
This is how the holodomor happened.
You do realize Kamala Harris will be president of Iowa as well, right?
You also realize that democrats deliberately target rural areas for immigration, right?
Are you being sarcastic?
I have to ask because if you are being serious, you are beyond naive.
This is not some isolated group on college campuses or just on Tumblr or on Twitter.
Harris herself has fucking pronouns listed on her Twitter profile.
Don't be foolish, this radicalism is not restricted to academia or just online.
No, it's restricted to high density top-20 metro cities, which frankly can /-wrists and burn for all I care.
You think just because you are not in one of those cities, you will be insulated from Kamala Harris pushing critical race theory executive orders?
The problem is how quickly this ideology can be forced upon the whole U.S.
Try to remember the America of pre Obama and what we see now.
Things have spiralled out of control at a breakneck pace.
You sadly cannot fully escape from the shifting of the Overton window regardless of what area you live in even if it is a good small rural area.
Uh, yeah.
Lemme depict for ya how that conversation goes down.
...They just stole an election... this virus is infecting everything
And it was obvious they were going to steal the election.
And you did... what, exactly?
Im Australian, I couldnt do shit, its not my country but I care all the same
The president is not a prime minister.
In the American system, without congress the president can't make anything stick long term. While a senate flip is possible, the reality in the house is that the moderate democrats have all the power right now because it only takes a handful of them to deny the far left.
For all intents an purposes, the democratic party's legislative agenda for the next two years is dead, and we've known it was dead since election night when they lost seats. The democrats will DEFINITELY lose the house badly in 2022 due to redistricting (which they failed badly in their goal of controlling redistricting, with the Republicans having total control over allocation of twice as many seats).
The only real mystery now is whether someone wants to challenge Pelosi for a speakership that they're definitely going to lose. My bet is she keeps the speakership because nobody wants the ignominy of losing it in 2022 when it's her fault they will.
I mean you are right. Just need to remind myself that Twitter/social media isn’t real life
He's wrong.
Goldman Sachs has their employees list their pronouns in their email signatures. Nasdaq is about to de-list companies if they don't have at least one woman or LGBT member on their board. Public schools are teaching critical race theory and other nonsense like "objectivity is a white supremacist lie."
All of that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Shit is out of control and and it isn't just Twitter. People said the same thing about tumblr back in 2014 and they were just as wrong about it.
Well I thought the critical race theory and the idea that being colorblind is racist was just university nonsense but that has exploded
Is a walking corpse of a company that should have been left out to die in 2009.
Slit its own wrists, which is why it's a load of posturing crap that I'll believe when I actually see. Seriously, no, they're not going to delist anything because it'll just make them even more irrelevant compared to the NYSE. They are the CHEAP exchange, if they kick anyone out it'll just speed up their irrelevancy.
They're not, but a tiny minority can hold the entire group hostage. The most intolerant wins after all.
Go out. See something you haven't. Do something you haven't.
In the overwhelming majority of America, crazy whiny progressives are unwelcome in direct proportion how much noise they make.
Bro, the overwhelming majority of America is in the metro areas you’re talking about. Out in your bubble you may not realize that LAs local news stations are airing long form propaganda pieces on eliminating the electoral college. Shits starting to get out of hand
You choose to use population.
I go by area.
Good point. I’ve been taking more walks and happy that I live in Texas. Also a while back I decided to mainly read and watch stuff from 2014 and prior. I guess the pronouns thing came up because I saw a lot of people online talking about it. But you are right. Boils down to a few lefties in the end.
So did the Bolshevik Revolution.
