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

PC nation gone amok.
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.

I was going to test that statement, but realized I lack the necessary offensiveness to pull it off........
Here's a good example of whineyness. A 22 year old landscaper threw a plastic bottle at a co-worker as he drove by as a joke. Someone who saw him do it was so offended they posted a picture of the guy's car & tag # on Facebook and got social media to track him down. The kid was arrested and also fired from his job.

White people obviously scared their rule over all the other races is quickly coming to an end.
... said the racist
What? You mean white people are running out of money?
Gee I wish someone would start a war or something. Microaggression? OMG! That's, like, what Putin is doing to the whole world!
I just wrote to my state senators and local house representatives regarding a proposition to make April 07 of every year a "go fuck yourself" national holiday.
Another white guy (because they are the only ones complaining that they can't say offense shit) complaining because he can't be a bigoted asshole without being called out. Oh yea, your number 3 is a bigger joke than this article.
I agree with your premise (even though I find the piece hilarous), American society is thin skinned. But your delivery needs major work. And you also have to remember that folks don't have to take your shit no more. You can say what ever you want, you just better be ready to back it up. And from the way folks like to retract their statements, do like mitt romney did, keep your mouth shut and pay someone to talk for you, like Paul Ryan.
Who are you to call him a "white guy?" Maybe he has a mixed heritage, so who are you to call him "white?!" Maybe his great-great grandfather was Irish, you know they were oppressed at one time.
Damned Microagressors everywhere!
The only ones complaining that they can't say offensive shit are the ones saying offensive shit and that applies to everyone.
Well, I'm not a white guy and I think he's right on the money....
Well, I'm not a white guy and I think he's right on the money....
We offended some folks.
Downvote for you, bitch.
Whatever happened to the old saying "sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me"?
It's being forgotten like everything else that's good about our heritage.
I see a concerted effort to destroy our culture and traditions in favor of this politically correct bullshit.
I will not be boarding the cattle car you whiny liberal bitch.
seems like the author is unhappy about people's not being happy.
but he's right. my own personal experience: my wife comes home from work, upset that she can't sell any expensive trinkets to tourists and oligarchs these days. I tell her that it's not her fault, she's a great salesperson, that the economy is in the shitter. she gets pissed off at me because i don't know why. I totally get it now.
but I'm not a victim... I choose to live with the hag.
economics don't really matter, she'd be pissed at you anyway ;-)
stop microagressing me, man!
People are worried about financial bubbles here, but the biggest bubble is in the human psyche. Just try and have a conversation about a touchy subject with anyone these days. IF the person is able to keep their composure they usually do so by clamping their mouth shut. And god forbid you use anything other then the most flattering descriptions. We are all perfect little butterfly's after all.
Is there any question why we are in the state that we are when people actively avoid the hard conversations. I experience this all of the time, a lot lately in fact, as I see a few issues that should be brought to light but people only want to beat around the bush and avoid the topic... Hey Tyler's? lololol
I AM ENTITLED TO UNCONDITIONAL APPROVAL FROM EVERYONE. IF YOU DO NOT STROKE MY EGO CONSTANTLY, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL OFFENDED. YOU MUST AGREE WITH WHATEVER I SAY, AND ENDORSE MY FEELINGS. ANY DEVIATION FROM MY VIEW OF THE WORLD WILL BE NOTED. YOU MUST ACCEPT AND SUPPORT MY GENDER IDENTITY EVEN AS I FIND YOUR GENDER IDENTITY OFFENSIVE TO ME. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO FEEL OFFENDED BY ANYTHING THAT STRIKES ME AS OFFENSIVE, BUT YOU MUST RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO FEEL OFFENDED AT ANYTHING I SAY OR BELIEVE.
Signed,
Your friendly, ever-loving, easy-going neighbor. Love and kisses XOXOXOXO!
Social Engineering Programs are only for Main Street and the Lower Classes, Right? You don't see Foundations put together by Main Street to teach US & EU Elites not to Loot our Corporations, our Investments, Transfer our Jobs overseas, and that there is a limit to Foreign Wars and Our Trade Policy.
- So let me get this straight
- We get Social Engineering, Education, Reeducation, False history in media & K-12
- We get Domestic Spying
- None of our Personal Info is Secret anymore, despite federal programs that state the opposite
- We get Government Records & Credit Records that we can never change
- we get Assets & Money Confiscated on the road, in ports, in our homes, in our businesses
- We get a Large Standing Army, Federalization of State & County Authorities
- We get Monopolies of Wall Street, DC Corporations, and Transnational Corporations
- We get told what the National Standards are, How to Act, but we don't have democracy just charlatans who are Bribed by the Wealthy
Question: What are the Elites giving up? They get to avoid Taxes since 1968 when Congress found some Wealthy Don't pay taxes at all, and the number of non-paying Wealthy has continued to trend upward. Plus they get to Off Shore their wealth while we get FACTA. I don't see the Elites taking responsibility in Federal Government, Big Corporations NOR stopping the Trend of Citizens going on Welfare and loss of Jobs to Free Trade NOR the Expansion of Federal Budget and the USD Currency
Fucking hell. I think you just channeled my ex wife.

It used to bother me all these whining motherfuckers scampering about causing problems, it doesn't bother me anymore.
My give-a-fuck meter was maxed out along time ago. Now I just keep to myself and when they whine I just nod uh...uh...uh you know, your right I never considered that before.
All the while thinking how funny and insignificant this is all going to seem when the collapse happens and these "victims" come to know real hardships and real suffering. I guess it's true you can not fix ignorance and stupidity.
OEJ, Perfect Response.
Would you argue with a 5 year old?
After the collapse, those lifeforms that live in a very fragile environment will have things brought down a few Maslow levels and it won't be fun for Them.
"I am sorry, I have ZERO fucks to give."
You used to be able to punch someone being a complete ass. It worked wonders. Now you can't even loom at someone without commiting some kind of crime.
I got caught checking out a new CS girl's ass by one of the other CS girls. Kind of couldn't help it since she stuck it right on my desk. I don't think skin tight Yoga pants and a heat gear Under Armour shirt is proper work attire. I mean the girl looks like a porn star and she's even said she enjoys guys checking her out to other CS girls.
If a guy can't check out a fine piece of ass, we're dead.
God damned fuckin feminists.
When I was in the eleventh grade I got punched out for being an ass. Yes. I was being an ass. And yes, you're right. Getting punched out for being an ass did work wonders, at least for me. Unfortunately, from time to time I'm still an ass, but at least I'll unabashedly admit to the fact.
"Yoga Pants, The Bacon of Clothing"
She. She what?
Just she. I'm not sure what makes me feel like a transgressor in this case. Where I come from everybody looks like one egg set horizontally on top of another and if I had to tell my brothers about "she" I'd tell them she was fucking ugly.
No, that would be Bo Ryan.
if you don't hold the door for a woman, then you're passive-microaggressive
We celebrate diversity, as long as it doesn't conflict with our point of view, make us feel bad, cost us money, encroach on our lawn, threaten our kids chances of getting into an Ivy Leage prep kindergarten, encroach on our lawn...........
Microaggressions?
Are any of these people anti-war? Or are those macro aggressions?
This is about Lawyers and Law suits....Law suits -= Big money...Attorneys will file friviolous law suits just to try and extort money from a person or business...There is no recorse for friviolous litigation...Just ask Harry Reid....Attorneys are the Politicians...50-55% of The House and Senate are Lawyers...The only profession unregulated....This is why the U.S is in serious trouble..We live in a litigous society, everyone is a victim......
Most people are just looking for something to get upset about, to generate negotiation leverage. I just go ahead and get it over with, and tell them they're an ass, or whatever.

That was amazing. I need to call my local OFA office and make sure they send the DHS browshirts out to clamp down on this non-approved speech. Glad they posted this before April 15...never too early to start and audit!
WAR ON WOMEN...but mainly unborn Black babies...
They aborted some folks.
You see, facts can be racist. Facts blacks don't like - such as illegitimacy rate, HS dropout rate, violent crime rate, abortion rate, illiteracy rate... Ah I could go on but, wait for it...
Dat rayciss.

I'm offended that there are so many exceptional sheeple in America.
I find if you cut off TV, it all goes away.
I agree wholeheartedly having done so myself (hat tip to Freddie, wherever he is).
But when people ask you "did you see blah blah blah americans idle blah blah blah" and you say "I don't watch TV" they look at you like you're crazy.
I say "they call it programming for a reason" and just exit the conversation abruptly.
Don't reward their bullshit with attention and speak the truth no matter who's feelings get hurt. Facts just exist. They don't care if you like them or not.
shame and shun these stupid motherfuckers at every opportunity and to hell with their whining sense of entitlement.
They can just fuck off and die.
I sexually harassed myself last night. I tried to resist but I knew I wanted it.
I got a hand job on my first date. She was a no show.
If you look to Matt Walsh as a male role model, you are a mangina.
Try to follow along.
In Massachusetts an anti-gun group put up billboards with "facts".
A pro-gun group complained and presented government reports that proved that the "facts" on the billboard were completely false, untrue, lies...
Billboards were taken down.
When asked to explain why they put up billboards with lies, anti-gun group said pro-gun group was stifling the conversation about gun control.
A faggot is a faggot is a queer is a gay fuking faggot.................

Microaggressions?
Are any of these people anti-war? Or are those macro aggressions?
Love Matt Walsh, he used to host an radio show locally in the afternoons.
This microagression bullshit goes hand in hand with self appointed experts who endlessly pop out of nowhere on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen, every other daytime talk show, and every MSM news outlet to tell us exactly how to think, feel, and behave in every fucking common social situation you can imagine from first-dates to first jobs and first layoffs, as if they earned a PhD in the subject or something.
That's why the viewership is falling off the cliff.
One of my liberal buds told me that my belief system came from FOX News. I replied that I've watched MSNBC more lately than FOX. He was shocked. Until I told him that I find both equally offensive.
(And throw in NBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS, Bloomie and whevertthefuckelse for good measure.... ah the old Dialectic crapola)
Fuck 'em all, let God sort them out.
That image of the asian chick and her sign regarding her eyes was.funny as shit. I saved that one.
Well what's the answer? People want to know.
Well what's the answer? People want to know…
As this prescient article so aptly addresses, understanding not only reveals the “problem”, it simultaneously answers and heals even perceived injuries. Since the root cause is selfishness, it would follow that selflessness would extinguish the fire of hatred displayed by either party.
Over 2 thousand years ago, Christians living in Nero’s Rome were advised to recognize the fact some were strong and some were weak. A weak person was easily identified as one who passes judgement on another while the sin of the stronger was seen in the disdain one had for a weaker soul.
Personally, I believe we’re all both weak and strong in a multitude of ways as a result of our personal histories, training and habits. The beauty and nature of life is found in how we actually flesh out not only our initial actions towards another, but in our reactions to whatever anyone else says, does or thinks about ourselves.
Since the only way to control another person’s conduct is through coercion, this should only be used as a last resort, as it typically does little to affect a lasting change. The only lasting change for the better in any relationship is to be found in the choice one makes for oneself.
The balance and beauty of a life of understanding is one that refuses to give in to the tyranny of the weak while avoiding being disdainful of anyone who fails to see things my way. It may be pretty tough to do at times, but what else do we have to do for the 70 to 80 orbits we have around the sun?
Jmunderstanding.
Is this about jews? Just asking because I'm trying to figure out if it would be appropriate to type the words ANTI-SEMETIC!!! YOU'RE ANTI-SEMETIC! ! HOLOCAUST! !! HOLOCAUST!!!
Yes, everyting is anti-semetic
I'm outraged!!!
Appropriate for this article, and fucking hillarious as hell. I like the comment about the credit card at .16:

This shits fuckin nothing. Stupidity warmups for a flyweight stupidity match.
Things I have read online in the last 30 days with these cunty fuck group of "progressives":
-genocide of white men, all men, gay men, trans men, white men, jewish/asian men (theyre basically white), and women who wan to be men.
-betas are better than alphas or gammas
-killing all women who dont subscribe to the speakers specific taste in feminism
-killing all male children in utero
-killing children after birth
-guilty-until-proven-innocent rape accusations -'out of ten people - better nine innocent people be jailed than make the one actual victim stress in any way over an "investigation"
-celestial objects are now a gender
-any hunger in the world caused by 'the patriarchy"
-being told that people think different cause panic attacks
-white people who use black words cause panic attacks
-progressive segregation (really. not kidding) - they need "safe places"
-seeing a cartoon copier appear on their weenie website dashboard causing a panic attack
-gifs cause panic attacks
-autoplay videos cause panic attacks
-Michelle Obama refered to as 'The Queen" unironically.
-http://everythingisracism.com
-anything auditory is oppression of the deaf
-rich Korean girls with 'therapy animals' are the most oppressed thing ever
-"why should we stop talking about slavery. jews keep talkin bout the holocaust."
-mentioning fathers day around black people is racist
-not letting Chinese people call themselves Asian to act like oppressed minorities is racist
-Telling said Chinese people that Asian isnt a race is also racist
-doctors telling you your heart cant take begin 400lbs and neither can your knees and other joints- FAT SHAMING! 'Science proves fat isnt bad for you."
-men not writing/filming/drawing everything to kiss womens asses - literally worse than Hitler beating his wife with that guy from the honeymooners tagging in.
-police questioning a rape victim - literally raping her again. Literally, not figuratively.
-White people shouldnt be allowed government positions in Brittan and they should "bow down." (Thanks to the IndependenUK for my closer)
It all starts at tumblr. Thats the shitwellspring.
I know ZH isnt big on links but here: http://reddit.com/r/tumblrinaction
Its where were cataloging all this shit. (BONUS! Leftwing media and feminists despise us. We're in the news and we're "toxic"!)
“You’re all full of shit”
I know that’s not right or fair, but, at least I insulted everyone equally. So, suck it up, that’s about as good as political correctness gets.
I'm not insulted in the slightest.
For you to insult me, first, I must value your opinion.
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" If only this could be taught to the whinerites. If only.
Most of those trends are set by the media and all the looney lefties of college campuses. We know what tribe dominates both, now don't we! Is anyone REALLY surprised about it?!?
How about Please...Pretty please, fuck off.
Hey I'm an optimist, i actually read down thru the article trying to figure out which country they were talking about /s
While Chesterfield was serving Queen Victoria in India, his seven year old son wrote him from England saying that the fellows at school were bullying him. The man wrote back, "A well-bred man will not insult me, and none other can."
When they're 14 years old it's understandable, when they're 18 it's still excusable, when they're 28 it's sad, and when they're 38 it's pathetic.
you are all bitchez and everything meaningful emanates from that, bitchez!
Fuck you and your sensibilities! Grow a pair.
Our ancestors role over in their graves to see what kind of pussies we have become (OMG, I just insulted cats, their owners and owners of vaginas!).
This article was brilliantly written, btw.
yes what we are least offended by the drone murderers, the killing of civilians of the islamic faith, probably a million in the iraq conflict, the most egregious acts of which we are least offended bothers me most
Well we have 1400 years of murder to atone for so what's your point skippy? Ever heard of the gates of Vienna?
You are an Ottoman? And are trying or wanting to atone for 1400 years of murder by the entire Ottoman Empire? I don't know any other Ottoman's here, so you may want to re-phrase "we".
You might want to reread both posts as I am on the Christian side of the issue dolt. My ancestors were there though smashing Muslim skulls along side the Winged Hussars from the good King Jan III Sobieski.
I'm making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do... www.globe-report.com
See, here is one guy who is not whining.
What is the matter with you guys anyway?
Is it because you'r not making money?
That will stop you'r whining, right?
UC Santa Barbara grad, tell me about it...
The looming depression'll give 'em something to seek pity for.
Looks like Amerikans are finally starting to realize what a bunch of assholes we really are..
try living in Singapore. America has got nothing on these guys.
Uhmm...can't white males have microaggression?? I think the whole idea was formed for them...you say Happy Holidays! and they get offended that you didn't say Merry Christmas! I mean the whole random we are supposed to care about a pizza shop in Indiana seems all divide and conquer to me. Feigned outrage at feigned outrasge...too many folks without girlfriends
if you ever want to inflame an argument with your favorite female partner tell her her feelings are her problem. after her reaction reread this article and it will be much more clearly written.
Psychopolitics as usual, bitches
Jew manipulation.............as usual for the evil bastards!
I wonder if this professor has concocted a word when homo's aren't able to order a pizza with double sausage for their wedding from a Christian business in Indiana?
I was thinking it would be something like pizza envy.
Here's how you handle that... whenever anyone in your direct presence pulls that shit, call them a faggot. No exceptions, even if they ARE in fact a faggot. "Stop crying or i'll give you something to cry about" seems to be the proper response here.
3) Being offended is a choice you make. Nobody is responsible for that choice but you."
Patently false.
I very much want someone to take offense when I find their behavior offensive and warped. Nothing will put a stop to deviant behavior like calling it what it is: unacceptable.
For example, gay people exist; I accept that. But they are at the same time not normal. Nature's design makes that unmistakably clear, and I will not normalize it to be politically correct. As human beings, they are entitled to the same inalienable rights as any other human being, but they will always be "they" precisely because they ARE minor deviations from the biological norm. End of story.
If they "choose" to be offended by that point of view...so be it. One cannot rationally overturn nature's plan JUST to defend a social point of view.
Same with personal behaviors like promiscuousness and out-of-wedlock pregnancies.
I once worked with someone who turned out to be one of these, who, in short order, became one of those. She was living with one guy (for 3 years) at the beginning of a year, drug him around looking for a house as a couple, dumped him as soon as she found one, ran with a another guy (immediately after) till he dumped her (in tears for two weeks), and was humping another she found on eharmony a couple of weeks later. It was September, and she publically declared 'I want a baby'.
By October, she was knocked-up and proud of it.
She waited for a proposal while she swelled up, and got one about the following May...
38 years old, going on 14.
This woman was a tramp. A gold-digging whore.
Yet those who witnessed this sick behavior either said nothing, or else patted her on the head for her tenacious "accomplishment", actually calling it a "blessing"...
I don't know who was sicker: her or those who thought her some kind of hero.
Then there was the married bastard (different guy I used to work with) who thought nothing of screwing another woman on the job...while married with kids. Our supervisors stumbled upon this dishonorable behavior on several occasions, but was unable to fire these creeps because HR policies required a mountain of evidence, and a whole series of steps taken BEFORE termination.
Fortunately, word of all this "somehow" managed to get to his wife, and hopefully, SHE took care of him.
The point I am illustrating here is that we get the society WE tolerate. NO ONE is above the Constitiution, nor the ordinary human rights all are entitled to.
BUT...that does NOT mean we MUST accept bad, deviant, or sick behavior from anyone, HOWEVER THEY choose to rationalize or defend it. It is wrong, prima facia...period.
When we stop normalizing (and instead chastise) these kind of deviants, we will stop seeing them. We need NOT follow some kind of rigid moral code to ridiculous extremes either. That is NOT necessary.
The Al Sharptons as well as Wall Street crooks need to be publically chastised and ostracized for rotten behavior. We should also seek to deeply shame...and pray it hurts like hell.
We should also NOT allow victimhood for "hoods" blown away running from, or in struggles with, law enforcement...when lawful requests to halt are disregarded. Those "victims" are responsible for their own demise. A demise, that could've been avoided had they simply heeded lawful, constitutional authority.
These are but a few examples. A great many more REASONABLE ones can be envisioned without any recourse to some modern form of Puritanism.
We can have a good, just, and healthy society only to the extent we are once again tough enough on the "anything goes" bullshit that has so screwed us up.
When you see something that's really not ok, say so.
And yes, reasonable people DO know what that is.

and i'm sure there are a whole lot of people that think yor an a**hole.
so nothing changes, you piss someone off with your ranting
and then they piss you off with their ranting
and then you solve it the tried and true american way, you shoot him.

So, there is no mention in that post about shooting anyone. Fuck you, you are probably one of the degenerates that was described above.
Better to just call a spade a spade and get it over with.
Jeez...I'm so offended by this article that I'm gonna offend someone by calling them a bad name. Here it goes...You're a Bad Name..whoever you are.
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage.
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes, too. I had my pointless point of view.
And life goes on no matter who is wrong or right.

The question is... how do you defeat stupid?
You can't reason with them because they're immune to it. You can't offend or insult them or you'll end up in discredited and/or in prison. You can't knock them out or you'll end up in prison. It's a very frustrating situation. The only ways to make them more intelligent are to discipline or hurt them, which you're not allowed to do anymore in our limp world.
So how did stupidity rise to power? It all started with religion empowering the poor, weak, stupid, and downtrodden. Now, even without religion, most of our society feels that it's "moral" to be stupid and to take pity on, shelter, and encourage the stupid, and immoral to be intelligent, disciplined, selfish, and to prefer strength, nobility, "harsh love", or "survival of the fittest" over pity. We're now in a positive feedback loop of stupid -- a race to the bottom. We're guided by lofty feelings or moral principles that we're indoctrinated with from birth and most are incapable of thinking critically of.
If intelligence could secretly survive long enough, stupidity should degenerate enough that it can be re-conquered. I like to think that this is the secret noble agenda of TPTB. I'd far prefer a world where a powerful elite reigns over a slave class (hopefully a happy slave class rather than a miserable one), than a world where a disorganized mess of idiots bumble around getting dumber by the generation and causing misery for anyone with above average intelligence. Therefore, I'm reluctant to renounce TPTB. They're better thought of as a superior rival than an "enemy".
I suspect that most ZHers disagree on this point. Most ZHers seem to be vehemently against TPTB. They may also be against stupidity, but they haven't realized that the two are diametrically opposed, and hence that to defeat power would be victory for stupidity.
Survival in a world where everyone is monitored and forced fall into line and to engage in self-destructive behaviors that are deemed required could become very difficult. This is what makes the surveillance state so dangerous, in my mind. It will be used to weaken everyone and to attack intelligence everywhere. If the police state is used to eventually take control over the stupid, then it may be a positive solution. But that's assuming that someone up there in control is able to keep the system in check, and that the system won't devour them at some point and keep running on its own.
Let's get real
To go to the other end of the scale the greatest example of macroaggression comes from the Zionist lobby led by the ADL and their extremist cohorts around the globe
Anyone who dares calls a spade a spade gets instantly labelled "anti-semitic" and pulled into court for "hate speech" (cases which always appear to involve someone who has offended a Jew)
By me saying the genocide today is happening in Palestine and the modern day apartheid imposed on these poor people is nothing less than a war crime would result in me being named in the official book of anti-semites brought out annually by learned Jewish Universities based in Israel (yes this actually happened to me many years ago so I know what I am talking about)
The middle east is a fucking mess and Israel and the US are to blame. They are complicit and to think Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize just makes me shake my head in shame on behalf of free thinking homo sapiens
Millions of innocent people have died there but that's okay because Netanyahu is on side and we (non Jews) are no better than goyem (cattle) whether we are Christian, Muslim or Buddhist
Its a sick, sick world we live in
This isn't even amusing anymore. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't pull the plug?
God
Is this right.........it is.
Like divorce statistics, and the fact humans should have been vaporized by now.
But I dont care, cross bearing stupidity perhaps. I still love this place, and love is a four letter word coming from me.
Like an ex that still drives you nute, because she knows all your sex triggers, you cant turn it off.
That "hail mary pass" feeling that i still care what happens this place, ill defend the undefendable on this one. mY grampa gets misty eyed with with wine reminicing, that means more that any opinion. So if your unhappy, ill just say fuck you in the nicest way possible.
Its my life and ill do what i want, its my mind and ill think waht i want...
Show me I'm wrong hurt me sometime!

Comment of the day!
"Sensitivity" in todays feminised culture is considered a virtue and all this is a competition to see who is the most "sensitive" and, as such, the most virtuous! As long as the gals are in charge of our culture (look at all the fuss about breast cancer) we will have lots more of this really stupid stuff.
Agreed!! I don't see much fuss about prostate cancer, which at my age of 75, I have. Not whining just a matter of fact.
Prostate Cancer: If you are a male past a certain age and don't have it, at some point in the future, if you live long enough, you will have it.
Seems to me that almost 100% of us males will get this cursed problem. What percentage of females will get breast cancer?
those with the victim mentality are some of the biggest assholes ive met. they are also manipulative types.

No I think you will find plenty of candidates for the Gold medal in this in the UK also.
I solved this problem a long time ago,
Anyone wants to come on to me about what I might or might not mean or what I say or not say, baqsically gets both barrels.
With a look of utter disdain and a patroning voice as possible, say, "I'm going to say this in a way that some one like you might begin to understand what it is I am about to tell you. Listen carefully and I sure even you could start to grasp my meaning. As you spoke a thought came to my mind regarding a cockroach I stepped on a little while ago.
I started to think to myself if was cruel to extinguishg such a lowly intelligence, but by the time you finished speking, I realised it was the right thing to do."
Now fuck off
I have worked and managed and lived among "them." I have been called the Great White Hope, honky MFer and every racial slur known to man. My tongue and grooving neighbor "ladies" look and act very much like a man and woman couple. They are raising two adopted boys. They love them and care for them. That does not make their family any more "normal."
See, we all have values, morals and beliefs. We are all biased and prejudiced. I love the whites that say "I have a black friend." I don't. By choice. That doesn't make me a racist. I have some black aquaintances and I say hello and wave to the black man who lives on my street. Everyone offended yet? Let me tell you a short story.
I volunteer and feed street people breakfasts at my church. Did I offend the atheists? Anyway back to our story. We give away clothes and have a clothing storage room. It is accessable with someone accompanying you only. I walked past the room on way to the kitchen and saw a black woman in the room flinging clothes about. I went in and told her the room was off limits and she would need to wait until after the breakfast was done. She went off on me and said, " you honky MFer with your big house on the hill who the F do you think you are talking to me like that.? I gotta admit i stooped to her level for about one minute. My response was " You don't know me. How dare you assume I live in a big house on a hill? I grew up in a 3 bedroom house with one bathroom and nine people. We had no money. We were poor see. No one told me. I learned two things, yes sir and yes maam and you work your ass off. I got home from work last night around 11 oclock and got up at 530 to serve you a hot breakfast. I just met you and i am feeding you free breakfast. If you need some clothes you can get them after breakfast. Don't judge me. I don't judge you.
She left the room in a big storm of ranting and raving. See, I don't give a flying fuck about peoples feelings. Feelings don't run this world. People with leadership skills run most successfull businesses and they generally work their asses off. We have made it too damn easy to not work in this country. People make choices all the time. It amazes me that people living on the street and get free breakfasts, EBT , medical care homeless shelters and housing allowances have more health care coverage right now than my wife and myself. She is too young for medicare and I lost all insurance when downsized a few years back.
Homeless people who smoke have money enough to buy cigarettes here for 5 to 7 dollars a pack. How hungry are they really?
Forgive the rant. We just called them cocksuckers. men with men, women with women, men who really were born women and trapped in a man's body? Women who are really men inside? Oh by the way we need to teach our 1st graders sex education? The world is fucked and getting fuckeder. It is all about equality unless you disagree with their perversions and pet projects and feelings of the day.
Get over it. Grow the fuck up. Call a spade a spade and an ass packer an asspacker. Do what you wish but don't try to convince me it is "normal." If men fucking men and women doing whatever it is two women do was normal mankind would have ceased existence eons ago.
There I "feel" better. Ha, sorry for the rant. Everyone equally offended yet?
DeerHunter - Your rant should be appended to the author's writing as 'the way we were - a love story.'
In your article you pick out the main ill in all of this: the person doing the right thing is almost always being abused by the person doing the wrong thing.
I think it is a case of mass-insecurity. Millions of insecure douches feel secure when surrounded by one another. Plus, they get to feed off of one another and their insecurities multiply.
Great rant.
Was petting a puppy yesterday and definitely picked up on some nanoaggression.
scott adams (of dilbert fame) recently coined a term for this: outragists (google his blog)
the way I put it is while I support the basic ideas of various "ism"m (some even financially) the "ist"s themselves tend to be annoying caricatures & often their own cause's worst enemies...
Ya know, you would think that humans, after being human for a few daecades or so, would recognize typical human behavior. Can anyone tell me the success rate of attempts at controlling or changing human behavior? To the best of my knowledge, that success rate standa at a very impressive ZERO.

Not Faggot. Fruit or Butt Pirate is better
That was one of the best rants I've read in years. The was it was written made it very funny and good for a laugh. The fact that it is based upon the reality we see in America today makes it somewhat sad.
I have red hair. I've been micro-agressed (sic) since I've been a child - long before they started calling people like me 'rangas' and 'gingers'. In fact, I was only really chided with 'carrot top' and 'fire crotch' but it hurt. Do you know what it's like to be hurt? (Sorry - I couldn't resist)
Damn it, but we used to be able to abuse the French and French-Canadians for being thin-skinned, whiney, and the most easily offended people with whom we'd ever come into even semi-regular contact. But, the author is 100% correct in saying we've taken first, second and third place in that regard.
Having two 16-year-old children preparing for college, any suggestions as to one where they'd be immune to the PC crap? No, I didn't think so. University of Phoenix it is then.
If they're 16, you might have an excellent solution and its along the same lines as University of Phoenix. Check out Udacity and MOOCS (massive open online courses)...and there are more and more to come. Bottom-line: academia, as we know, is going to see a radical change and in the near future we can expect to see education via the web and internet of things to become extremely personalized, a lot more efficient and a fraction of the costs. Key effects to keep in mind, 1. you can design curriculum, which means people will leave out unnecessary courses, such as cry-baby studies and 2. Tenure will be gone, you'll see content from a variety of sources to include professionals looking to make extra on the side etc. Teachers will be vetted by the number of stars not tenure. As such, it will break the oppressive PC culture that exists in academia today. So, I'd look into Udacity, MOOCs and others like it. Oh and it will cost you a fraction, many of these courses are free.
I'd buy your two kids good laptops with mobile wifi and use the money you'll save from tuition to let them live in a foreign country or travel the world while studying. And when I say fraction of costs, you can get all the academia hours of instruction for a BA today probably for free if not maybe a couple $1000. Also, if they're determined they can finish undergrad in a couple of years (sans electives etc) and start advanced degrees, so, in four years they could have the education of a BA and MBA.
To be fair, everyone knows that red headed people ARE evil.
People without souls can't be micro-agressed against.
Let’s face it; much of this comes from homosexualism and feminism. Both ideologies, which are subsets of a larger whole, are fundamentally based on being an aggrieved group and thus a victim. They've literally spent the last couple of decades whining, crying like babies and complaining. The effect was an appeal to emotion, not reason, and with the media behind both groups they "rose" to popularity. But since their entire existence is based on being a victim in order to sustain their "movements" they have to always be a perpetual victim, because once they lose that status they lose their fundamental legitimacy. And since all people, today, are equal under the law, constitution and bill of rights there isn't anything neither to complain about nor to lobby for. Look at what "they" are asking for? These are civil or inalienable "rights" - free contraception, marriage, to be seen as normal, to feel good, to have their ego boosted? Fucking wimps. And you can't have any of those, um, "rights" without taking real rights away from other people, for instance, I have every right to see normal as normal NOT as a fucking stranger who comes from a group of assfuckers and pedophiles says it should be.
It’s a fucking invasion of consciousness.
But here is yet another bizarre phenomenon, after kicking and screaming like little children these people have gotten what they've asked for which is power and privilege and for a long time now these people have openly become the oppressors of others. And note, the acute danger here is that like children they'll never stop wanting more. So, in the same sentence they'll lament about their "victimhood" and then turn around and do the very oppressive things they say you do to them? They're bullies, period. And, worse, they're cowardly bullies. And to add even more depravity, they take this cowardly behavior of crying and whining and declare it as heroic and courageous. You see, its not about "rights" its about ego. But, its not something to ignore anymore and its certainly not "trendy" these people are weaklings turned bullies and no one has to put up with this. We need to stand up to these fucktards because they'll keep taking and taking and taking. Do nothing? Ha, wait until they start publically ass raping you and if you don't comply you're a "bigot". Oh and pedophilia is up next.
you skipped beastuality.
your not against interspecies relationships are you?
obama is a firm believer in not discriminating against sexual preference.

Let’s face it; much of this comes from homosexualism and feminism. . . . .
Good post but you left one important issue out. Where did these movements originate? Do the research and you will find that the founding "fathers" (mothers?) of the homosexual and feminist movement are primarily of Jewish origin or are outright Zionists. Until this is publicly acknowledged nothing is going to change . . . . also it is funny (NOT), and predictable, as soon as this issue is raised the cries of "anti-Semite" will fly like the cluster bombs over Gaza.
The inordinate amount of Jewish influence in American culture has to end before we can have a chance to get our country back. They comprise 2% of the population and through their money influence or outright participation they basically control the financial systems, higher education, the main stream media, the movie industry, congress, the judiciary and many of the larger corporations in the USA. Imagine the hew and cry in the USA if it were the Russians or Chinese that had this amount of influence in the affairs of the USA . . . .it would never be allowed to happen! Yet it is o.k. when this religious minority, many of which are dual citizens with their loyalty primarily to Israel, wields this power and influence. I have nothing against the Jews, just against their influence in the affairs of my country and in my life.
Exactly.Anyone who delves deeply into the root cause of the West's multi-faceted malaise is eventually forced to acknowledge the central Jewish role in The Project. All - and I mean all - of the weapons of societal destruction have been developed and propagated by Jews. I'm talking here about feminism and the general attack on the traditional family, situational ethics, globalization, mass Third World immigration, cultural relativism, bogus 'equality' theories, propagation of sexual degeneracy, debasement of traditional art...and turning educational establishments into propaganda outlets for The Project.
I fully recognize that not all Jews are in on this but The Project is a Jewish one.

this reminds me, faggott use to be such an awesome word....
Actually, it's a complement when you mistakenly refer to a female doctor as a nurse. It means you think she went into the for-profit medical industry for altruistic reasons and a genuine concern for others, in contrast to most doctors who are money grubbing assholes who went into the business for money and for nothing else.
It also means that you think she's more approachable and fun in the sack.
I wish this thread would go on forever.
