Hell they still think cities like Portland and Seattle are no-go zones and there’s active riots going on.
Like wow, some nigs chimped out and threw a garbage can at a storefront’s window: “THE CITIES ARE BURNING!!!”.
Being terminally online should be classified as a symptom of mental illness.
"SOME HIPPIES ARE CAMPED OUT IN A PARK AND THE COPS AREN'T MOVING THEM OUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO BE DOING! IT IS LIKE SOMALIA!"
It is this type of thing that has hard turned me against MAGA, and the MAGAtards on here.
Probably TMI, but at 18 I was part of the INTERFET intervention in East Timor, and spent my 19th birthday digging up a mass grave and helping sort as to which piece belonged to who, and those whos, despite just being numbers, they clutched little things like photos of loved ones or rosaries. Fucked situation, but then and now; I think despite the situation being fucked, I had it better off than the people I was digging up. In hindsight, doing that, smelling that, and seeing that, it isn't what bothers me having experienced that.
What bothered me was coming home and seeing how much some people threw tantrums and bitched. I don't know if I can speak for other veterans about this, guess everyone processes things in a different way. After experiencing that, the one thing that bothered me, to the point of being a prick to people about it, was how histrionically people cried victim and the spiteful way they let those tiny grievances dictate their entire world view. I've said it before, but I see it as a weakness. It is why I dislike the SJW movement, it is why I really don't like the troons, and it is why I have a growing disdain of the MAGA movement. They make the biggest issues out of the smallest inconveniences. I see it as weakness, and a choice on that person's behalf to be weak. It's even weaker when people do it as a group.
COVID especially brought it out in people, they had to wait inside for a couple of months, order take out and watch TV, real hard fucking times. Yet still to this day you hear people endlessly bemoan how they'll never recover and never forgive. People who went to Vietnam and lost limbs to IEDs are less agrieved than these people. And like you pointed out, people losing their minds because hippies are doing what hippies have done constantly since the 1960s.
People are a lot more resilient than you'd believe, especially given the way a lot of people behave online in recent years. This bullshit of getting emotionally assblasted over things that you don't control and that ultimately don't matter, it never is the world ending threat or disaster people make it out to be. The way these type of people carry on, typing angrily on a computer with a roof over their heads and a full belly, isn't something I respect, because again I see it as weakness, these people are chosing to be emotionally driven retards despite having a lot less reason to be that way than most other people who've existed throughout history.
Modern day politics has become those with the softest bellies advocating the hardest line because they fundamentally lack emotional self-control. It is weakness driven politics.
