I wonder if people like this realize they're just fueling the fire.
Maybe they don't care.
they don't care.
when they went after the flag in south carolina and said "we just want this one flag to be taken down" - to me the fight wasn't for the flag itself but all that would happen if they got their way. and we've certainly seen that unfold. dukes of hazard problems, sony taking confederate soldiers out of games, remove statues everywhere, rename schools, parks, streets and anyone who objects is racist and promotes slavery.
we've allowed them to be the ones to determine our entire history and what our culture should be. when that happens, THIS is the result. they LOOK for things to ban so they can continue to show how "RIGHT" they are. and once you've let one thing go, you've given the nonsense credibility.
this isn't to say that things shouldn't change as we grow up and change also. they should. but those changes are to be determined by all of us, not a self-appointed "morally right" part of us that is solely determined by those who oddly enough wind up "morally" right. we've made it trendy to be the victim and when that happens, people LOOK to be the victim so they can be cool also. hell look at smollet and the crap he pulled. people are FAKING being the victim cause we reward them as if they're heros.
so they push because they believe this to be their path to acceptance of sorts, i suppose. when you push back it also energizes their own stupidity and desire to be victimized. but the more people push into the land of stupid, the more people fall away from giving a shit.
and i think we've hit that time and people are going to stop coddling / rewarding "victims" and move on.
for now they're doing whatever they need to do to show the world how "victimized" they are. when we collectively say "that's nice, dear" like we do for children screaming LOOK AT ME as they jump in a swimming pool, they'll stop.
