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)

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.

Aye, I bet.

It is such a crazy contrast to the kind of nutty drama I remember putting up with at school or at early jobs where I worked.

Heck, just as an example, my environmentalist biology teacher welcomed criticism from students, though he sometimes had to encourage students to offer up ideas or arguments before or after class so it wouldn't be too disruptive to lesson plans.

I very much doubt you'd ever see a left-leaning teacher today be even remotely open or cordial to any friendly debate.

I think part of what makes their ideology so much more angry these days is because they've been brainwashed and regularly fed the idea that "these people" are the ones causing all the problems in the world. Cost of living? The economy? Society? Job market? Laws? Policies? Elections? Blame the w, x, y, z (straight white, male capitalists, Christians, etc etc). And then they go around selectively blaming everyone else except for banks and global mega corporations. Or any of their own corrupt politicians.

And most of all? They never, ever blame themselves (neither as individuals nor as a political-ideological group) for anything.

In the end, I think it comes down to a superiority complex. Like, exactly as you say, she never admitted fault, or apologised. Instead she doubled down, and then played the victim.

Because, I very much suspect, she genuinely sees herself as "superior" to proles like me, and so, if we won't be suitably and effectively brainwashed, then why shouldn't she treat us like utter shit? After all, us huwhite males deserve nothing else, right (as the simps today pretty much agreed)..?

Man, what a fucking clown world situation. Just like you describe...

Based on other details you've described, I think you're right.

It's honestly a wonder that these people manage to land paying jobs at all. I guess it doesn't help matters when the employers are just as batshit crazy and see no problem at all.
