Below
is a video I shared on Facebook that really disturbed some sensitive
people:
It
just so happens the two men fighting in the middle of the four lane
highway are black. I would've shared the video if they were white.
Just by sharing this video some inferred I was a racist who enjoys
the suffering of the mentally ill.

When I
shared the video I did so without any commentary or emoticon. The
page I found the video has deleted it but I remember there were no
racist comments on that page. I replied on Facebook I was only
sharing the video, not any racism. But it was inferred by some
comments I was racist, classist, some who enjoyed the suffering of
the less fortunate.
I
don't have time for this ultra-liberal snowflake bullshit. It has
gotten to the point that ultra-leftists are out to make everyone
conform to what they decided is correct and proper. They inflate one
innocent comment or action into "microaggression," which
is so elastic it can fit almost any situation.
If the
fighters were mentally ill doesn't change the fact what they're doing
is illegal and has attracted attention. You can't stop people from making mean comments. On one FB page someone
commented that one of the men wasn't deranged, he was just baited
into a fight. So would it be OK if we help the snowflakes by leaving
in the sane man in the video and just obscure the other one with
mental problems so that one will laugh at him?
And
how do you stop this incident from being shared? Should it be
omitted by a newspaper in its police blotter? Even without the video
the story will spread by rumor. Let's muzzle anyone who shares this
rumor with duct tape!
After
Melissa Click I've had it with
ultra-leftist scolds. Comedians like Jerry Seinfeld are afraid to
appear at college campuses because their stand-up routines might
cause a precious snowflake to melt into pseudo-righteous anger. I
can't stand ultra-right-winger morons who want everyone to agree with
them ("Trump is a great president, a good person!") And I
can't stand ultra-left-wingers who give purpose to their empty lives
by being morality baiters. Fuck both sides.
(Gee,
I forgot to preface this piece with a trigger warning. Oh well.)
You know what I find ironic? This type of behavior and these kinds of accusations used to be reserved for outcasts and "interloper" types. You know, the kind of person "society doesn't think very highly of" and are always "in season" for any kind of abuse or scapegoating?
ReplyDeleteIn recent years it's managed to spill over to more and more into the collective realm. A lot of average people suffering attitudes and behaviors previously "reserved" for certain types of individuals.
