I absolutely despise "positive psychology" and the whole "gratefulness" and "wellness" sector. Being forced to sit through a whole day of "training" on this. This article sums up just how toxic that all is, and why... (archive.is)

What in the living hell kind of so-called "traumatic" experience was she describing in the first few minutes there? That has to be the most idiotic and lameass "nothing burger" example for her to cite as a case of so-called "trauma".

I mean I get that "mountain out of molehill" experiences early in life can leave ripple effects on us later in life, but that is not an example that I think could ever hold up to serious scrutiny. And... she devolves into even more floaty toaty fluff devoid of logic or meaning.

And the NPC's in the YT comments are clapping along like mindless seals, lmao.

Yeah. That's the level we're talking about here...

It can only possibly be "traumatic" because she is a "WOC" (or whatever the "correct" acronym is), and because she does tick that box, we're all supposed to take that seriously...

This whole shit nearly broke the entire course today, and devolved into a shit fight that lasted over an hour. Now we're basically all not talking to one another (except me and a few other less insane ones). Madness.

All because the dumb bitch instructor deliberately slagged off white males, and the white males took umbrage to that.

Honestly, in her mind, it was probably a "purity test", or some bullshit. There's no way she said, in effect, "privileged white males should shut up and get to the back of the queue", without anticipating backlash.

She absolutely knew what she was doing.

For those Jew-seekers out there, pretty sure the woman in question was almost certainly Jewish. Because of course.

Upper middle class? Tick. Hates Christians? Tick. Appearance? Tick. Fake "hippie" bullshit, and "You can't criticise me! Words are violence!" Tick.

Stereotype, much...

Honestly? I wouldn't put it past some of these zealots to not realize that what they're saying might piss people off. When they've got their heads so deep into a mindset centered around nonsensical bullshit, their awareness level can be pretty low.

Wouldn't make her any less guilty though, and in either case, it's clear she cares more about pushing and spreading the woke "gospel" than she is about helping anyone learn anything of actual value.

You have a better vantage point to assess how deliberate she likely was though, so I'll certainly take your word for it. These monsters just have the weirdest headspaces to try and understand sometimes.

Honestly, you could be right…

But it wasn’t just an offhand comment. She then doubled down, attacked those of who called her out, and played victim for the entire rest of the day…

Then they shut down the chat, so we couldn’t communicate to one another (i.e. us participants), because they decided it was “nasty” and “hostile”, after we dared to call her out…

But you may be right. I don’t know, I’ve been observing her behaviour and the things she has said (see also, the gender thing) these last few days… While I do absolutely think she is a committed ideologue, I also think she genuinely views people like me as less than dirt, lol, so it fits…

Who knows. Either way, it, and the response to it more importantly, were absolutely fucking unacceptable, lol…

Though maybe it was worth it, for the pathetic zoomers and millennials crying and breaking down when the insults came back their way, lol…

It was farcical.
