I was talking with my step-brother (far-left tech IPO in NYC) the other day about cooking and something he mentioned caught me by surprise. He was talking about cooking and how this new channel had picked up a bunch of chefs who were racially discriminated against by Delish? and we’re getting paid far less than their peers. So they switched over and made their own program that had been doing well. The baseline of this is of course that is good because if they can do better elsewhere they should. However what struck me as odd is that the accused channel is far left, in fact it would be hard to find any large cooking channel that isn’t pro whatever wokeness is currently on display.
This discussion triggered a realization in the mentality of the far-left, their projection on who they view as lessers (conservatives) is not directed by the actions of conservatives but by the actions of who they consider similar. So if a far left supporting business is caught having rampant racism or sexism their immediate reaction is how much worse conservatives must be. This is amplified by the fact that liberals often do not understand why conservatives value what they value, they only understand what they are told they value by other liberals.
Hilariously true.
My mom got her wallet stolen a few weeks back (her own fault, but still sucks) - and in the heat of the moment she let her racism slip out. This is a super progressive "love everyone" "Trump is a racist" "Orange Man Bad" "<Repeat MSM>" woman --
--by the time I was speaking to her she was ranting about how she should have profiled the thieves better - she knew it was weird for a black guy to be looking at rice, etc etc etc.
Lil' racist ol' trump supporting me had to say "whoa, now, don't you think that's a bit racist?"
(She'll get all the erroneous charges on her cards back - so don't think I'm heartless)
