Not just Boomers. My parents are Gen-Xers, and though they didn't buy into the entire Satanic panic, they didn't allow me to read Harry Potter and several friends of theirs around their age bought into the panic hook, line, and sinker.
Weirdly, from what I've observed a lot of zoomers are totally onboard with censorship of scary alt-right/MAGA/Nazi ideas and cancelling people for ____phobic or ____ist language. Used to be the kids thought that kind of thinking was for stuffy old church ladies.
Sir this is a Stonetoss thread.
It's a lot like the old "you can't eat gold"... adage? Truism? Whatever. "Something is worth as much as someone else is willing to give for it" and all that. Saying that crypto has no inherent value because you can't do anything directly with it is a bit fallacious. I'm not really a fan of crypto but I recognize that it's a good medium for storing value since it can be, depending on what kind it is, either directly or at the very least through an ordered process be exchanged for direct currency.
Eh, I get it, but I think it falls short. Redhats were mostly laughing at the "small" businesses that attempted to placate BLM and got railroaded anyway.
There were cases of that, but outside of accelerationists and the Far-Right, the overarching sentiment across the board was to condemn the burning and looting of corporate franchises as bad. Neither of these groups were red-hats or MAGApedes. This is probably making fun of the Matt Walsh and Internet-Neocon types.
No, that shit's sad. Like the Pakistani immigrant who independent drove a limo he owned for work. That got burned up in 2017 inauguration protests. Or the black Milwaukee retired fire fighter who started a bar to remain part of his community. That was destroyed in BLM protests. So he just packed his shit up and left because it was clear the community didn't care about him. Coke saying "be less white" and getting their shit destroyed by chimps, thats comeuppance.
I think the message is that they try to appease ONE community, which exiles the other. Then said community you try to appease just destroys your business because ... reasons.
could also mean that redhats while disagreeing with some messages still feel sad when someone's work is destroyed by the ones they tried to appease
Do people actually believe that shit?
Only people who have never filed an insurance claim would be retarded enough to pull the "BUT THEY HAVE INSURANCE" line.
And what of the people working there? Being harassed at a job because the corporation wants to virtue signal.
Just so it would be clear, I'm speaking about corporations only. Small and medium businesses who got fucked were likely not insured or received partial compensation.
Fuck people working in Corporations.
I'd blame the media and universities to make a distinction of "good corporations" (big tech, Disney, Amazon) and "bad corporations" (big pharma, everything remotely connected to the right). Bonus points if the latter is used to justify new laws that help the former.
