The Most Whiney, Thin-Skinned, Easily Offended Society In The History Of The World

Sorry, but it’s your fault if you’re offended all the time
by Matt Walsh
I truly believe that we are the most whiney, sensitive, thin-skinned, easily offended society in the history of the world.
Nobody has ever been as prolific at getting offended as we are.
Nobody cries over insignificant nonsense as loudly and consistently as us.
It’s the one thing we seem to do better than everyone else on the planet. We corner the Offended Market, and it’s not even close. Modern Americans love to get offended more than we love eating Cinnabon or talking about our fitness goals. If it was an Olympic sport, we’d grab the gold, silver, and bronze every year. If it was a job, we’d all be millionaires. In fact, we have turned it into a job, and the people who do it professionally are millionaires (Al Sharpton, etc). It is our calling card, our national pastime. It is the battle we fight and the banner we wave.
We get offended faster and more efficiently than anyone. And it’s not just our speed that separates us from the rest — it’s our endurance. We have a limitless capacity for offendedness. Every week there are dozens of new national outrages and boycott campaigns and social media crusades to raise awareness about some offensive thing, or to get someone fired for saying some offensive thing, or to teach people that some previously non-offensive thing has now become offensive.
Most of all, I find myself positively dazzled by the dexterity and athleticism with which we get offended. We can juggle six or seven outrages all at once, and then drop them and pick up new ones in the blink of an eye.
Our creativity and meticulousness are also quite notable here. We can look at any situation and extract hundreds of offensive factors that an untrained eye probably would have overlooked. We conjure up more fabricated outrages and controversies in a month than past civilizations could have mustered in a thousand years.
Do you remember what everyone was super worked up about four weeks ago? Yeah, me neither. That’s the point. We move on to the new outrage so quickly and the old ones are buried and forgotten. Well, whatever it was way back then, I’m sure it was REALLY bad and we were REALLY upset.
It’s always something. We have located the Fountain of Eternal Indignation, and we drink it by the gallon.
So then it is no wonder that this is the climate which has given rise to a concept called microaggressions.
Have you heard about these? I was thinking about them a lot yesterday after I watched this stirring and important PSA on the subject by Andrew Klavan:
Inspired to do my part in exposing the micro-scourge, I sent out these Tweets:
It was not easy to confront the fact that I’ve been microaggressed upon by both my wife and the cat, but complaining about it on Twitter was deeply therapeutic. Am I a ‘hero’ for fighting these injustices via whining about them on social media? I wouldn’t use that word, but that’s only because I’m so humble.
For anyone who isn’t familiar, a microaggression is something that college students learn about because science and history are too boring. It is, according to Wikipedia, a theory that ‘describes social exchanges in which a member of a dominant culture [or gender] says or does something that belittles and alienates a member of a marginalized group.’
Wait a minute, you might think. Isn’t that just a regular aggression? Don’t we already know that you shouldn’t insult and alienate people? Why do we need a new word for it?
Well, we need a new word because the old words describe things that are objectively and explicitly offensive. Microaggressions, on the other hand, are things that are only offensive because some member of an approved victim group declared it so.
It would be, by any definition, aggressive and belittling for White Guy A to walk up to a Chinese individual and say, “Hey, I hate Chinese people! Go back to China, Chinese person!”
But, as taught by the deranged social theory promoted by nearly every public university in America, a microaggression happens when White Guy B approaches a Chinese person and says, “Hi, where are you from?” or “Hello, I’m interested in your culture. What language do they speak in your country of origin?”
Non-liberals would find those comments to be utterly innocuous, even friendly, but liberals have decided that White Guy B and White Guy A are identical, and their words and actions can be interpreted the same.
A microaggression, in other words, is what happens when someone says something inoffensive but the listener chooses to be offended by it anyway. Microaggressions are closely related to micro-inequities, which is when minorities, gays, and women are ‘overlooked’ or ‘singled out’ by a ‘gesture’ or a ‘tone of voice’ that manifests a ‘deeply rooted and unconscious’ bias.
The great thing about the ‘unconscious bias’ shtick is that it allows someone to infer offensive meanings in what you say, while preventing you from defending yourself by assuming that you don’t actually know what you mean or how you feel. In the bizarre world of contemporary progressivism, only the Offended Person can tell you how you really feel, even if it isn’t how you feel. Essentially, you feel however the Offended Person feels you feel. Got it?
Still confused? OK, check out this Buzzfeed post, which features a bunch of fashionably somber 20-somethings describing the times when someone microaggressively forgot their last name, complimented their hair, or asked where they’re from. (Some of the examples listed are legitimately rude, which makes them regular old straightforward insults. We don’t need any fancy new progressive buzzwords to figure out how to categorize them.)
An even more cataclysmic collection of microaggressions can be found at this link, where members of the “LGBT community” tell harrowing tales of being assaulted with pronouns:
The New York Times explains, in a piece titled Students See Many Slights as Racial ‘Microaggressions,’ that it’s also microaggressive to praise a person for being articulate, or to acknowledge that Asians are often gifted in math, science, and technological fields.
Psychology Today adds that you’ve committed a microaggression if you mistakenly think a woman is a nurse when she’s really a doctor (then again, calling that a microaggression is, itself, a microaggression against nurses because it seems to suggest that there’s something wrong with being a nurse).
With these in mind, maybe you won’t be too shocked by this example offered by a reader in an email last night:
Matt!
Love the blog, man. Thanks for it. I’m a sophomore at a college that shall go nameless. I saw your Twitter tirade tonight about micro-aggressions and I thought I’d let you know that my university has launched a “campaign” to make us all aware of our unconscious biases and microaggressions that serve to otherize minority groups…
Today a girl in one of my classes suggested that pulling out a chair or opening a car door for a woman could be a microaggression because it insinuates that she is incapable of doing it herself. Lots of people INCLUDING THE PROFESSOR agreed! I feel like I’m surrounded by crazy people…
-RK
Yes, opening a car door is a microaggression.
God help us.
Does anyone else get the impression that college is somehow making a lot of people dumber (or maybe just accentuating preexisting dumbness)? I pray for this young man, that he make it through three more years of higher education without sustaining any serious brain damage. A tall order, to be sure. I’m not even taking these classes every day and I feel slightly concussed just from reading the phrase “unconscious biases and microaggresions that serve to otherize minority groups,” let alone that whole car door bit.
It’s remarkable that many in our society are so addicted to victimhood that they can’t even wait for the handful of fresh media-constructed outrages to come along in the news every week. They have to stop and snack on these infinitesimal little affronts and indignities along the way.
Everyone wants to be a martyr these days, and they’ll grasp at any straw and sob over any banal remark in order to achieve it. They will twist and torture any comment or polite exchange just to find even the faintest hint of a snub or a taunt.
We are absolutely determined to be victims, and I think there are a few reasons for that:
First, many of us have been programmed to desire pity more than anything — even above respect or love. There are a lot of profound spiritual factors at work here, and it would require a hundred different blog posts to even crack the surface. To sum up this phenomenon in a very insufficient way: our obsession with pity stems from our selfishness. Love, charity, and fraternity, in order to exist, must be both given and received. They are a great gift, but also a duty. When we love we are showered with blessings, but we are likewise called to make enormous sacrifices. Pity, on the other hand, works just one way. When a person demands pity they demand something for nothing. They want to be a recipient but not a giver. This is why love has fallen out of favor in our culture and pity has been put in its place. It’s also why many marriages fall apart. When love is extinguished often its void is filled by a lethal mixture of pity and guilt. I think it can be accurately said that some people in our society have spent their whole lives in relationships ruled only by these two forces.
Second, we have come to believe that our Victimhood grants us wisdom and insight. How many times has a constructive debate been derailed when one of the participants suddenly proclaims that only their opinion counts because they’re the only one who “knows what it feels like”? Important cultural and social issues devolve into gladiatorial duels over who can claim the title of Ultimate Victim. Whoever wins then earns the right to make even the most irrational and unintelligible assertions, and anyone who defies them will be deemed a bigot and banished from the conversation. For this reason, people collect their examples of microaggressions like chips at a casino, and then they cash them in as soon as someone mentions abortion or affirmative action on Facebook.
Third, we are bored. Much of the chaos in our culture can be boiled down to this. We are simply bored. We need something to fight about, something to complain about, something to cry about. Without it, we feel like we will cease to exist. Descartes said cogito ergo sum: I think therefore I am. But today we’ve changed the expression slightly: I am offended therefore I am.
So that’s the diagnosis, but what’s the cure?
Well, we could start by not sending our kids to public universities. Asinine gibberish like “microaggression” can only be effectively fostered and spread in the cloistered, cutoff, sheltered environment of ‘higher education.’ Maybe if we starve the beast, it will stop infecting our kids with this kind of madness.
But that would be a merely partial solution. The full answer escapes me, but I know it requires everyone to come to terms with these five Absolute Truths:
1) If it wasn’t intended to offend you, then you shouldn’t be offended.
2) You do not get to decide someone else’s intentions. They do.
3) Being offended is a choice you make. Nobody is responsible for that choice but you.
4) Even if the slight was intended and deliberate, functioning adults understand that they must move on and not dwell over every sideways glance or rude comment.
5) You have to stop doing the trendy internet thing where you write something on a piece of paper and take a picture of yourself holding it up while frowning. It’s just annoying at this point.
You’ll never be happy or satisfied if you don’t keep these five points in mind.
But then, for the grievance mongers, I suppose happiness isn’t the goal.
If they’re happy then people might stop feeling sorry for them.
Whatever they do, they certainly can’t allow that to happen.

If you're a transluscent little wrist flapper you can always cry "BULLY!" when someone speaks candidly to you or calls you out for being a sissy.

The real question is why does Group L want to control Group R and Group R want to control Group L, when the obvious and correct solution is to separate the two groups?
Why can't both groups of simple-minded fucks leave each other alone?
Because there is no difference just talk but once in power you both have to sail the same ship.

ok we comply.

Why you think we a homo?
Dunno....could be the name. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
better tone that shit down or francis_sawyer might kill you
We got Francis Sawyer banned cos we ratted him out for racist language like the little biatch we is.
& yet... The evolution of things bring us to the point where threads like:
"The Most Whiney, Thin-Skinned, Easily Offended Society In The History Of The World"are featured...
Can't make this shit up!
+100 Francis. Keep up the good work.
I always assumed Francis got dragged away by men in white coats for his own safety.
it did not happen. I am certain of that.
I still am free. Yet I am in the same nuthouse as you.
Welcome to Zerohedge. You can check out any time that you want but you can never leave. You are living in your own private Idaho.
Free Francis_Sawyer.
I am certain that he will free himself...in due time...in due time.
You messed with Francis Sawyer??! Your in for it now ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPGq-N_6GM8 Long Live Mr. Sawyer!
He's offended about the fact that he's a faggot and you aren't a faggot (and don't like faggots near you or your children).
He wants you to 'break down' and get it in the ASSets and buy into his death-scheme (that I call 'Shitcoin'). Most faggots just want to FUCK whatever hole is available, dirty or clean (including people who have money to invest that has worth and value and isn't dirty). HE LIKES it 'dirty', though, and he wants to make EVERYONE 'dirty' WITH him.
Not that there's anything WRONG with that (you know, buttfucking men, and screwing them for their assets, and spreading venereal diseases, and stuff like that), I mean, if you want to die young and sick and broke and destitute and corrupted.
I'm going LONG on 'Depends Adult Undergarments', and the whole PG portfolio, right now (in honor of your comment; if nothing else).
He 'wants' you, you know. You might have to do favors for him... 'special' favors...
We just want you to buy! We have ripped our own families off to the tune of $12,000 misapropriated to Bitcoin at $800 - $1000 BTC. So is it to much of we to ask of you to invest a mere 80% of your life savings into Bitcoin? The revolutionary currency that has shaken the world to its core? We think you can find it in yourselves, or your matress, or your kid's piggie bank, or your retired parents savings account.... come on and stop being broke ass shit fuckers ok?
Why the fuck would I want to think to do anything that would presumably increase the net worth of you & Winklevoss?
Quite the group of Bitcoin ambassadors we have here at ZH eh?
Yeah you will buy or you will get fuck you!
I have concluded that you are actually trying to dissuade people from using Bitcoin.
That is bullshite. We have been here since 2011 telling people what an amazing teh Bitcoin is. And we were right, and the ZH was wrong. And just because the Bitcoin is not $1,000 today does not make it any less amazing!
Ok.
Truth is that with which I can deal.
But no...No thank you.
I am sorry for your loss. That must be terrible...especially at the holidays.
But they are adults and responsible for their own financial decisions. They bought into the "pie in the sky" dream, which was being sold, as did you, and it was their own greed for gain that got them.
I hope that you have learned that you cannot make a mint off of someone else's misfortune (those who were holding FRNs) and that true wealth comes from actual production of Goods and Services and not from speculating.
Now if only the Wall Street traders would figure this out then we'd be on the road to recovery.
Now, at our worldwide celebration of the 'Spring equinox' holiday, we all feel especially saddened at your loss of virility. With the various celebrations of eggs, and rabbits who fuck and get fucked, and the worship of the Zoroastrian goddess Eshtar, our global celebration is being tainted with discord because some whiny 'priveledged' asshole's kids lost some shit due to no fault of anyone else but those they see in the mirror. Did you know that crocodiles ACTUALLY have TEARDUCTS?
WELL... You can always try to buy back your 'priveledged status' by pledging a tenth (or more) of your 'before-tax income' to your local Universal Church thingie (they sold out and brought in this 'holiday celebration' bullshit in back in about 450 A.D.). If THAT's not 'palatable', there's this 'Israeli State Intelligence Service' thingie that seems to be 'trending', now...
Those that trade in men's souls (such as 'Wall Street Traders') are an especially attractive morsel for my ravenous appetite!
Pleased to meet you.
I hope you guessed my name.
Call me 'francis', for short...
(this parody brought to you by someone else who is determined to speak TRUTH to POWER)
You are a real twisted fuck and your homophobia shrieks of latent homsexuality on your pafrt.
Ahhh...the old, 'you dont like homos because, deep down inside, you are, in fact a homo' argument. I think that card has been played far too many times.
If something is correct it does not matter how many times that truth is played.
This dumb fuck hasn't been banned yet?
Fonestar (alias RU-GAY2, ghoatrider, and others) has already been banned multiple times.
That is untruthful.
NO.
It's downright OFFENSIVE!
<s>
No.
Not yet.
'Freedom of speech' means freedom to make the rope by which we will hang them with.
Did you think Densel Washington, or Gene Hackman, played better characters?
As a rehash of 'Run Silent, Run Deep', it wasn't actually a bad movie, I guess.
Clark Gable's character DIED, in that one, though.
A better plotline was found in 'The Hunt For "Red October"'. Sean Connery did one of his best performances to date, in my opinion.
'DAS BOOT', however, eclipses them all.
'Man versus man', 'Man versus men', 'Man versus nature'...
The WORLD'S a stage.
Agreed. Das Boot, was as close to the real deal, as you can get. It had a gritty, desperate realism to it, that made the other movies, look, just like movies.
I'm offended by the offended - especially when the one crying racism is the racist one for assuming racism.
Nothing that a straightforward "Go Fuck Yourself" can't cure.
Zerohedge discriminates against the we, cos we transvirtual.
Well when you get fucked over by everyone at every turn, yeah I get pissed....
Oh and fuck y'all
We got pissed on at every turn and then fucked at every corner! You guys have so much better than we!
Hey trollkid, is that last photo of the shemale before or after your surgery?
Ok, seriously, this shtick does not work.

We untooled some folks.
In Heartland America, the spirit lives on.
The Urban Americans are merely permanent European tourists befouling the glorious landscape. They have been trained in Euro-dominated academies to think European, act European, and hate everything about America just like real Europeans-- but the Euro McCoys know that they are just crude posers compared to the real genuine item.
Their comrades overseas laugh at them, their compatriots out in the country despise them, and they will have very tough row to hoe when the time comes to flee to one group or the other for protection.
interesting theory. too bad that most of it does not apply to most of Europe, only in part to the UK, Scandinavia and arguably The Netherlands
first, I don't remember ever to have been trained in "Euro-dominated academies" to hate everything about America. Are those academies only in the US?
second, I am arguably the most "Euro McCoy" that this continent ever produced. to the point that you can put me together with Berlusconi and Hollande in the category of "typical continental" men that have a mistress, as second mistress and all the other attributes, attitudes (and troubles) that make feminist foam from their mouths. only that they have to wait until our dear socialists have taken their turn
third, Europe used to be more urban then the US. But since 2005-something, the US is more urban then Europe
your "Heartland America"? I'm sure it has many, many good things, including values. Including conservative values, I should specify here. Believe it or not, we in Europe regularly vote conservative, too
it's just that your "Heartland Americans" don't "see" any conservative values beyond their own, particularly in foreigners
Merkel in Germany leads a conservative party, in case you did not notice. Or Rajoy in Spain. Or Cameron in the UK. and so on
Your use of that term is disrespectful to my community.

Watch a ZeroHedgie go into a micro-agression when mentiioning that perhaps Russia and China are not as perfect as described on ZH, and that gold and other precious metals will not skyrocket in price in a deflationary envirronment....

We are offended by your dropping of the f-bomb. We suggest you lawyer up.
Hey! Since straight white Anglo-Saxon English speaking male protestants with small penises are a minority, why the fuck are we accused of being the oppressive "majority".
Inquiring minds with IQs greater than 10 want to know.
Like I'm not under constant assault by the (fill in the blank) "minority" and getting "weary" (in a very negative reaction sense) of the whole fucking thing?
Huh?
If we are white and possess a giant pants serpent, is this also offensive?
Now I feel affronted, insulted. It's not nice to make fun of the handicapped!

I'm OFFENDED at being placed into a notch that describes the only men with largeness as 'OTW'. Have you seen your OFFICIAL government healthcare provider about this issue? Don't get offended, but there are implant techniques available besides the 'Blue Pill' (erections lasting longer than 4 hours should be considered an emergency medical situation, and permanent blindness, paralysis, and death could be possible side-effects).
NOW:
I've offended faggots, fugly chicks, whores, banksters, commiesymplants, shitcoin miners, neocons, neolibs, Nazis, Zoinists, neolibetarian rapturist replacement theology preachers, flower-selling Buddhaheads, slutty women, worshippers of the Zoroastrian minor moon god (they like to call Al'l'ah) and lots of OTHER people as well (in my travels), and don't intend to stop. EVER.
I hope YOU aren't offended. 'Zippy The Pinhead' was always my FAVORITE cartoon in 'High Times' magazine.
Just be thankful that your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
'Free radicals' sometimes go off on 'wild tangenticals'. 'They' used to encourage free thought and expression of ideas, as well as the inventive drives that led to inventions that could benefit mankind. That's rapidly withdrawing from the human experience, now, at THIS time.

Here's a little meme for you:
The little 'winky',
in the hole that's STINKY!
The governor of Texas has issues regarding the manditory GARDASIL shots. It killed quite a few young girls. ALSO, there's that whole NAU NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY issue. He's a FUCK. An ASSFUCKER, in fact. A TRAITOR to his people and his CONSTITUTION.
I wonder if 'Jim Bowie' remembers this shit.
I'm offended that you're offended.
Team, Team, you obviously don't "get it".
The University administration, the local poleese, and - no fuckin' surprise here - the media, ALL are tiptoeing around the illegal, psychotic, uber damaging behavior of Jackie, the false accuser of innocent young men at the school.
Jackie MUST be a VICTIM of ... well, SOMETHING and therefore deserves our compassion, support and approval of her future enshrinement into 21st century America's Hall of Shame.
This one particular incident (the false rape charges, the lionizing/demonizing of the involved parties, the media's feeding frenzy) are all such sick, blantant signs of a society in its death throes that discerning observers would be well advised to take heed and prepare accordingly.
I'll pony up something for Jackie's therapy as soon as I pay the bill for Sandra Fluck's (rhymes with) birth control. Don't want her to go horny.
This whole fucking bullshit PC macro-offensive piece of shit is what will inevitably happen when you let women vote in a democracy. Society becomes feminized. It takes on a female value set and it internalizes it. We all become Arnold's "girly men". This micro-offense shit might be the ultimate manifestation, it sounds so much like my wife and her instantaneous recall of every perceived transgression engineered by me against her since we met, and for many years before that even. Like the time we went shopping 10 years ago, and I didn't like the jeans she tried on, she told me this today, weeping, why do I hate her so much. What the fuck? What fucking jeans?
Sometimes I think the muzzies understand better than us how to deal with women. That women need to be under a firm hand, like kids, and you have to keep them down by force or you end up with this shit.
Sooner the whole fucking thing collapses and I can belt my wife when she comes up with shit like that and send her out to the chicken house till she gets over it, and I don't have to risk ending up in jail or shot by a fucking stormtrooper to do it, the better.
Give women control, and you end with industrial-scale abortion. Cause it's convenient. And the patriot act, 'cause it makes me feel safe. Fuck that bullshit.
<<rant over>>
That was funny!
What! You think that's bad? Pfft. Try attending an hour long " sexual descrimination" training where you have to pass all the questions to be " certified" by the HR bitch Queen. I managed to answer all the questions as they wanted me to just to get out of the damn meeting and get some work done when the last question stopped me.
" A manager invites all the employees over to a wine tasting event at his house. One wine is revealed to be called Ménage a Trois. Is this sexual harassment?"
My blood was boiling. I just couldn't do it. I said no and was told that was clearly suggestive and fell under the policy of harassment. First of all I said there is a wine called ménage a Trois which is a blend of three varietals. Second, it's kind of crappy and I've used it making Coq au Vin. Third, to think this is some kind of come on is frankly ridiculous and if it is, kind of pathetically laughable.
Personally, I feel insulted as a grown woman I am deemed incapable handling such a situation myself and must run to HR for protection or twelve robed individuals on a court to defend me. Well, they insisted I answer yes. I refused and walked out saying I would never invite them to my home for an wine tasting. I got a nasty gram which I signed and I assume it is in my personel file.
On a personal note. Tell your wife for God sakes get the fuck over it. I love teasing my husband with loaded questions. " Honey, does this dress make me look fat? " " Yes darling you look like a Mac truck, it'll take a crane to load you on a flat bed." We laugh hysterically. I hope I don't drop dead. He may have some trouble dating.
Miffed
HR types are a pain because they are the company's agents to make sure that the employees can recite policy.
Not that they really care, they just want it all on paper and individually signed so that if there is a fuss between/among employees, or some spat with management, and any of the policy points come up they have the option of booting whom they want if need be.
They wouldn't be in positions where they could look at personnel files and all kinds of information unless the bigwigs knew them and wanted them there.
Your best bet is to agree with them. If the official policy states that the sun rises in the north and sets in the south, agree with a straight face. They can be vindictive so there is no point in giving them ammunition for the sake of factual clarification. They wouldn't understand anyway and it only makes them more peevish.
No doubt! Very similar to the Safety Dept. I just find it too difficult, to take sefety lessons from somebody that nearly cut his finger off while using a fuckin broom.
"Do these pants make my butt look big?"
"No, honey, your butt makes your butt look big."
I have two wonderful daughters, so I don't think XX's in general are worthless. In fact, I separate them into classes: women, and females, just as I divide XY's into men, and males.
Men and women are wonderful - you seem to be a woman, Miffed - because, regardless of their sex, they take responsibility for their own lives, live on their own terms (not the fashion industry's, or the diet industry's, or (men) the car industry's or the beer industry's), give everyone a first chance to delight (or disappoint) and then take it from there. Men and women never give an unintentional insult, false praise, or purposely misleading advice.
Males and females - feh. They are forever crying to someone (usually .gov, of course) for redress for all slights, imagined and otherwise. They allow outside voices (TV, Twitter, the tubes) to determine their emotions and state of mind. They are usually extremely prejudiced (although they'd never admit it) against anyone who exhibits the calmness and grace of a man or woman. They insult unknowingly, laud unjudiciously, and lie frequently.
The unfortunate thing is the division between men/males and women/females is about 1:9, pace Ted Sturgeon. So I do sorta agree with the OP; unearned suffrage is never a good thing, but when it was extended to females, Western society began to rot. Pick your poison: the Fed, income tax, the female vote. They all came in the 1910's, which was, ironically, the first decade of the American century, which looks to set to close this decade. The American version of 'original sin', as it were.
But if HE drops dead, Miffed, I don't think you'll have too much trouble dating. I imagine the line of Hedgers, cap in hand, will extend out the front door, down the garden path, and around the corner. I won't be there, though, I gave up competing for women many, many years ago. They need to compete for me. No doubt I'll die an embittered old fart, living alone in his camper van in a supermarket parking lot.
And Frank, I like your comment. Very wise.
Unfortunately TD that would mean that our entire feminazi construct of socialism would colapse under the weight of logic, reason and accountability. Sorry, will be a cold day in hell before that happens, probably 5 mins after the DOJ arrests congress tho.
why should she get more than mike nifong when he put duke lacrosse team thru the same thing so he could get re-elected....buried the evidence ...license suspended....cunt should have went to jail....sorry if i offended any cunts out there, i wasnt talking about you....
Don't know whatever happened to Nifong but I hope he got sent for psychiatric evaluation at the very least. It was nothing short of a witch hunt.
As usual the ever vigilant Womens Quick Reaction Forces were emerging out of woodworks everywhere howling and screaming like banshees about every perceived slight before the facts had been collected.
It was only a matter of time before the media swarmed in like flies to poop and hatching nasty stories everywhere.
That innocent lives were nearly destroyed on the strength of falsehoods was lost on them all.
Its hard to walk with a big dilldo up both holes.
I agree. Blatently false rape claims should have a punishment up to the charge the accused would face. Maybe that law will get changed. The woman who cut out a baby and is facing assault, not murder charges because of the pro abortion lobby, needs to die. I've been 7 months pregnant 4 times. How a lawyer can argue it's not technically a baby is appalling. Should focus less on perceived insults and more on actual problems.
I'm not good at the "microagression," so here is some normal aggression: Fuck all you motherfuckers! That'll be all. Have a nice day.
Holy shit, you just agressed at six orders of magnitude above microagression. The damage is unfathomable.
Dat racis !
Everybody oughta just grow the fuck up.
And liberals oughta go back to Africa where they came from (As in dawn of mankind*)
* Another bullshit liberal politicized science pseudo-belief
Ooops! knuks done offended some doushebag. Sorry Master, yes we will junk ourselves.
Shut the mother fucking hell the fuck up, you mother fucking Bitchez. FUCK.....!!
Now I am really offended because you fucking cussed.
I mean...What about the children?
Why I'd never fucking cuss in front of those fucking underserving ingrates.
Shit. The God damn children might be reading this shit.
And you are fucking using foul language...in front of...of the children?
(Hmmmm...Did I do a good job of personifying the article? Naaaah...)
We're obsessed with media in USA too. "Vainglorious Enterprise." Very dangerous because so easy to hurt. Just mere implications would seem sufficient...of course when you had in the oversight, the data collection and the purpose behind it all (the internet is a weapon) ...well, not looking good for humankind in my view.
Syria appears to be the torch bearer for the human race.
Of course with this much money combined with poverty...BEWARE THE BOUNTY HUNTER.
Kim Kardashian could use that line!
That's a pretty large order to fill, though.
Her boy-toys could spend MONTHS just trying to navigate the outer regions of that cellulite-ridden buttox before discovering that there is a parting line dividing them!
STAY AWAY FROM THE CRACK! IT'S A TRAP!
(OH, the HUMANITY!)
That was a 50MT offense bomb. He's a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker.
FUCK YEAH!
To have a micro aggression you must first have a standard, measurable 'agression' that can then be divided into millionths!
WTF???
How about milliagressions or megaagressions
I'm fairly placid by nature, but if you come at me with real intent, you will likely get more than you bargained for.
You forgot about nano, pico and femto aggressions. I think that might have been a nano aggression, but I'm not sure. If we want to understand a giga aggression, I think we need to ask an expert. For that, I think we need to go to Washington DC.
The concept of a femto-agression is hard to get a handle on!
Best I can come up with would be a 'funny look'!
Maybe we could get a grant to study this and define a 'Standard Agression'
Once that's done, think of the job creation possibilities!
People could be ticketed for showing agression above an acceptable level - awesome revenue generation possibilities.
I'm going to have a large rum now.
Just breathing my air, would be femto agression, in my opinion.
Maybe we could do a Lean Six Sigma on it to get it documented. S/
Thank You!
I'm so happy it isn't normal cop aggression...
I'm not good at the "microagression," so here is some normal aggression: Fuck all you motherfuckers! That'll be all. Have a nice day.
That's macroaggression.
>tfw ZH became /pol/
>wtf?
Some Blacks like Jessie and that other guy, you know the corrupt congressman..... Oh twenty of them.... Are the Posterchildren for Micro Aggression.
So much that I can't even Axe them a question.
I think there's more than 20 of them.
Yes, they flock to certain government offices.
Rep. Cummings, said it best: "They come to Government to feed their souls".
Rep. Cummings, said it best: "They come to Government to feed their souls".
Dude, they breed here on the Universal lot. You oughta see the purse-wearing skinny jean Applebot faggots that flounce through this building.
I never thought breeding was a strong point.
Maybe you know something I don't.
oh like Ted Danson? I guess you mean a lot worse.
Seen him, haven't met him. But there are some real lost causes here.
In West Hollywood they're benching 270
If the Russians ever invade, they won't even need guns for the coasts. There will be a lot of angry tweets twated though.
I Watch and a clear field of fire.
They're so funny when they assert their right to jaywalk at rush hour.
So then Welfare is Microaggression, social services same, on and on.
Liberalism is a extortion tool the gov. uses against white men. Yesterday, I was in the grocery store, heading for the check out. I had a boomer aged woman, almost running, while pushing her cart, to beat me to the first check out line. So, I headed on down to the next one. She saw where I was headed, so I 'double timed' it to beat her. She got pissed, went back to the first line which had gotten longer by that time. Then, she turned around again and came back to my check out. She was so mad it was worth a picture. If she hadn't been an ass to start with, I would've allowed her to go ahead of me, I only had one item. I really wanted to ask her if she wanted to race to our cars for double or nothing. I can see her voting twice for the 'Handout Hillary' candidate to get even against men who can beat them to the checkout. Equal rights, ain't they grand?
The disorder -the inability to engage in rational, coherent thinking -the part of the brain required to engage in such critical thinking is numbed and deadend-from conditioning in Government controlled schools, media, etc. , from flouride and synthetic food, from psychotrophic drugs like adderol, anti-depressants, etc., propaganda from the Ministry of Truth. All combine to create the perfect sheeple - mindless, thoughtless sub humans who think they are free, think they are engaging in actual intellectual thought and reasoning - but who in reality, are just doing and saying what they are programmed to think and believe. Like Pavlov's dogs, they do as they are taught and are rewarded accordingly. It's not just liberals -most self proclaimed "conservatives" and even most independents, suffer from the same mental disorder. Disciples of Sean hannity think they are superior to liberals. They actually think our problems would have been solved had we elected the psychopath McCain, and will be excited about the prospect of Jeb Bush taking on their arch enemy Hillary. What a joke.
Beautifully said.
I use the terms, "Libtard" and "Conservatard." No offense to actual retards.
And people thing WE'RE insane if we don't drool when the bell rings.
Beautiful post -- accurate, succinct, and I say cheers!
You downvoters can eat a bag of dicks and die.
Except the Founding Fathers were very Libertine to go against the Traditions of Monarchy.
Depends on your perspective here.
Revolutions are born from Liberal Ideas.
Status Quos are maintained by conservatives, government functionaries, Propaganda, Conspiracies, and Elites who control Education, Corporate Systems, and Management Techniques.
Balance has to be struck between Forward Looking Plans, Traditions, the need for affordable Labor, wealth of consumers to pay for goods, services, common defense, emergency services, roads & ports...
Education plays a big part in balancing Liberal Garbage Ideas and keeping them under control as with Propaganda from both Left & Right Wings.
What I am saying is that we have stupid labels and we allow words to be co-opted by one side or the other. They are just words.
Progressive is an English word, but means something different in Europe than in the USA.
Gun Control = Code for Left or Left is code for Gun Control
Gun Rights are principals in Founding Documents or Amendments which I include. How can whiners from the Left or the media think this is open to debate at all without forming a new government or Constitutional Convention.
Principals = Must be Upheld by Both Democrats, Republicans, and all Americans especially in Business, Government, Law Enforcement, Court Systems, Auditing, Accounting
All Democrats should be Conservative and Understand Business and Accounting "Conservative Nature"... but what we see is Lobbying, Interest Groups, Propaganda, Poor Education Mind Control.
"She" needs to move "her" card down a bit and reveal what "She" ""really"" is. Still confused by his\her simple statement - TOGTFO
Pure, uncut faggotry. A society of pussies begging to be overthrown by any group with a pulse.
Pretty convenient for anyone planning on instituting martial law over that group of pussies eh.
Almost like it was planned....
The problem is that most of these cry babies are either in government or have sympathizers in government, so they make laws to accommodate and soothe their tantrums. The end result is that directly or indirectly we are governed, controlled, and punished by cry babies.
One such cry baby got offended by the facts and downvoted me. Toddler tantrums in adults until they get what they want. That's where we are, folks.
"Entitlement Attitudes" are destructive. Perverting history, and thus people, for the sake of personal interests is nothing but selfish.

Liberalism is actually two paradigms: an economic (pure BS) and a philosophical/moral (not pure BS).
To be liberal in the moral sense is (I know: not in the US, but in the US all terms associated with politics/ideologies have been morphed into useless gabble) to be tolerant; as long as you don’t intervene in other peoples freedoms you’re free to do whatever you want (you don't want to legislate other peoples behavior - as long as that behavior has no influence on your own or other peoples freedom). In that sense, you can be a liberal socialist, a liberal conservative, a liberal liberalist (one who – insanely – believe in liberalism as an economic paradigm. Even-though it’s the most disproven economic theory ever devised) and so on.
This microaggression has deeply offended us, good sir! You are hereby challenged to a slap-fest!
It must be a commie lesbo slut queer darkie sissy slanty-eyed joo thing. I just
don't see what the fuss is all about.
Pathetic weak fag sphincter boy race baiting feminist shills for leftist Kant,AND climate change tree-hugging wimps.Screw you!,
And the horse you rode in on!????
My old lady considers it a miroaggression when I open the car door for her....while we're traveling down the freeway.
Amen.
Sidebar: I think "it" works just fine for the gender confused.
I tried that once, in a sincere effort to be polite.
I got dumped on real good.
The situation was that I wasn't sure of the sex let alone the transformation nor from what to what.
The now "guy" and I turned out to have a very cordial relationship and he's a bud of my daughter. It was other "normies" to the relationship that had the beef. He and I speak openly about it. Good on him, fuck the sensitive normies trying to manage other people's lives and feelings.
This political correctness shit is just that. Politics run amok. Has shit all to really do with other people's feelings. The "downtrodden" are noting but pawns, just like the liberal social ghetto EBT imprisonment of blacks for votes.
The whole political correctness stuff is downright destructive and evil. Hidden agendas.
What about cornholing a midget bearded tranny?
Just a trial balloon here...
I am an American. We do everything large because we are a large country. I can say without hesitation Americans have the best work ethic in the world, I do not care what the media tells you.
