Outrage Culture

[Ibanez]

I don't see how people have the energy to be outraged at everything. It seems exhausting.

My wife found that out. She's as anti-Trump as you can be and for awhile she was upset that I wasn't as upset as she was. Eventually, scrolling through Twitter non-stop everyday got to be exhausting for her. She still hates Trump (and I still will never vote for him) but there's less outrage about everything now. We just focus that on our oldest son now whenever he screws up in school!

We're the same way.

My wife as left most social media platforms b/c she can't stand the SJWs being outraged and offended. Once the SJWs called Seinfeld racist for tackling racism, she was over it.

Except not a single attacker was attacking me for being a dick about anorexia. They were all defending HER.

And yes, I'm overweight.

Right. SJWs irk me to no end.

Truthfully, we should be better about not shaming people for being themselves. We don't know if they've got a situation that is out of their control or that they're trying to resolve. If some rail thin girl wants to pose for VS, then that's her body and her business. But they take it to the extreme and will hound you for voicing an opinion.

Why can't we just be excellent towards one another?

That’s a fantastic use of the word excellent!

You ain't nothing but outrage, it's your day job.

I think that's the point of the article, Einstein. She expressed a differing opinion and is getting crucified for it, because of outrage culture. She's not ALLOWED to have a differing opinion from the SJW's of the world...

Exactly, when the left disagrees with your opinion the first thing they go after is your job. You need to immediately be fired or your business ruined if you don't think like them.

You couldn't be more wrong and that's amazing.

I rarely get outraged........ When I do you hear about it in the news

I'm outraged that you're all outraged at their outraged

Try a little experiment - watch 30 minutes of the Today show or NBC Nightly news and see how many "racist" or "sexist" stories there are any given broadcast.

This thread reminds me of this segment I saw on CBS Sunday morning and Spike Lee's subsequent meltdown and classless move of trying to walk out and turning his back on the winner's speech because his feewings were hurt over not getting best picture.

That’s because you’re a privelaged white supremacist adjacent.

You should switch to a hydro-static transmission. That would get rid of your gear grind..........

If I have guilt about it am I forgiven?

You wouldnt' be a true American today without the guilt, in the libs' eyes...

Speaking of outrage culture, bunch of snowflakes want to change the name of John Wayne airport because of recently unearthed comments in a 1971 interview..

I don't know about outrage but all reasonable people need to be seriously concerned that enough people in this country would vote for somebody like Trump to allow someone like Trump to become President. It's a serious problem. You don't need to be outraged about it. But you need to recognize, analytically, that it suggests serious problems with the quality of the population. A Representative Republic depends on the quality of the People. And we've got a quality of the People problem.

Yes...but you must play some Hendrix, Living Color, and Go Go’s on the geetar as your repentance.

It has come to this -

my favorite troll is “I don’t care”

(“so what?” is a close second)

Nothing sets off the perpetually aggrieved more than apathy or minimalizing

Now doesn’t that feel good, JSO?

You expressed yourself in one short sentence. And here I was thinking you were too hidebound to change

Bless your little heart

The article in the OP is an example of why the mob left is more dangerous than Trump can ever be.

The mob left can destroy people's careers and businesses and they can corrupt and infiltrate academia and the mainstream media in ways Trump could never do even if he was a lot more clever than he is.

I don't disagree that people on the right can be snow flakey on things like people not standing for the national anthem, but in terms of which side of the culture war is more feared by corporate America and the media, it's not close. There's no equivalent to James Damore getting fired for a scientifically-accurate memo about gender or Apple's diversity chief being fired for saying a group of white men can be diverse.
