A lot of those people are crazy as hell. I can get why SOME of them are the way they are. It only takes getting hit by a car once before you get very hyperaware of where everyone else is on the road.
My family and I ride ebikes around town, and it always amazes me how unfriendly those people can be.
Its been earned, just not by you. It's on you to embrace it, let it work on you, and to change your heart.
The kingdom of god works the opposite of the kingdom of man. Here we work for things and earn an identity. He gives us an identity and we want to work based on that identity. In the world, the powerful take and use, in His kingdom, the powerful serve and build up.
"The World" is the opposite of God's kingdom in many ways. It's really bizarre when you start to look into it. The World gives you an identity only after you've proven your worthwhile - Jesus gives you worth and an identity before you've done anything.
Oh, r/denton was the same way. Much smaller subreddit, but the few people on there are hyperliberal. It's really funny watching them all make fun of Abbot's disability when a few months ago, they were yelling at anyone who was making "abelist slurs." This is the same community who was saying that we didn't NEED police, but when a man was caught trying to abduct women, everyone was all "oh, thank god the police got there in time." - bitch, your profile still says ACAB...
Yeha, Abbot is pretty much just about appealing to what he feels is the majority. He carefully hedges everything so it can't come back on him. He's a pretty consummate politician, and I don't mean that as a compliment.
He went woke. The woke crowd turned on him - he found that there's no salvation in that religion and no matter how good and obedient you are, you'll never be enough - now he's trying to strike back.
A lesson learned late is better than a lesson never learned.
I love how when people talk about that we're not following the science they aren't following the science about how somebody without any symptoms can't spread the illness. the main reason all of us are wearing masks is because we thought a symptomatic spreading was a thing which has been proved by that article in nature that it can't happen. Out of 10 million people they studied only 300 were asymptomatic carriers and not a single one of them actually spread the illness.
That's the science
This is a good thing though. This will help people see the total ridiculousness of it all. The more people get fed up with unrealistic BS, the more they'll realize how it's all as show.
I have a co-worker who currently has cancer and is pretty scared. She was pissed when she found out that most of us won't be taking the vaccine. Even SHE got pissed when she saw the "two mask recommendation" because, in her words "I already can't fucking breathe in this thing and now they want me to wear another one!"
It's almost like they found a loophole. What annoys me is that none of them really lean into the skid. Do it. Say you are black, get into school, get a ton of financial aid. After all, isn't race a social construct? Don't all of our ancestors come from Africa anyway?
If gender is a social construct and we can choose to identify how we want - why not do the same thing with race? Transracial is going to be a thing that people champion in a few years, and it's going to look insane.
Because news outlets are liberal, and liberals are only about being what conservatives aren't. Conservatives love Israel, so liberals have to love Palestine.
