Obviously, hate speech regarding race, sexual orientation, religion, etc. is never acceptable.

But if someone says or posts something offensive, I really don't care. Ok - that's how you feel. Good to know. I'm gonna move in the opposite direction.

I don't get overly emotional or feel the need to write an essay long response.

Not sure why people get so rattled.

Just keep it moving and don't give them any attention.

keeping ppl soft is good for business

Can't make jokes no more. Because of Woke. And Biden,.

I think I know what you mean, but could you elaborate a little more.

Not every business

the whole world working together to keep ppl feeling like they lack smth since birth. identity politics being leveraged to keep ppl outraged at their fellow workers instead of pissed at the ruling class who stay funneling money from the bottom up. advertisers stay with the pedal to the metal making ppl so wrapped up in a fragile artifice of self bcoz they make bank off insecurity. someone who happy with their self is not good for business and not good for the politicians, and you put those two groups together and you got the rulers

today it is subversive to be content with a simple life. to be at peace with your self, happy, unbothered, and treating those around you with a gentle love and understanding. it is seen as a threat by every industry on the planet

The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, 'If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.'

Said Diogenes, 'Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king'

"today it is subversive to be content with a simple life. to be at peace with your self, happy, unbothered, and treating those around you with a gentle love and understanding"

Facts

can you give an example of this?

If someone posts derogatory comments about a particular group I don't necessarily get upset.

I prefer to just ignore and keep it moving.

And it doesn't even have to necessarily be anything derogatory, but rather a different POV than what I share. Someone can post, "I'm against gay/interracial marriage" or "Affirmative Action does more good than bad"

Ok - Cool story bro. Enjoy your day.

2016 ass thread

I think the problems linger when we give too much attention to these people. We give them a platform. We give them attention.

There was talk about banning hate speech on Twitter. I disagree with this. I actually want to see what people are saying so that I can know what I'm dealing with in the real world.

Let them say what they wanna say. Let them talk to themselves.

We're not gonna change their minds by going on a rant against them.

Let them swirl and be fools amongst themselves.

I don’t get offended at anything and I ask this same thing. Social media wise a lot of people’s only sense of power is to block or unfollow you or whatever or gain virality with a rebuttal

It's mainly KTT, but what do you expect when nearly all their real world experiences were either in school or work

A good chuck of users got that homestuck/never jumped off the porch vibe

the world is so p**** nowadays

/thread

everyone's passionate about something, being laid back isn't always the answer although its still a good response for many things

people be p****, egos be fragile

I think a BIG part of it is disingenuous virtue signaling

Overly emotional people are annoying but so are emotionless people or people who feel smarter bc they dont care about anything

Agreed.

OP offended by people getting offended

Lol not at all.

There's just no point giving out attention to ignorant people or people who share an opposing viewpoint that you won't be able to change.

I feel like both are often the result of too much internet

Either makes people hyper sensitive or desensitized

But some people are also just born that way

i find it interesting you consider being anti-gay and interracial marriage is an opposing viewpoint rather than hate, would you care to expound on that

Here we go lol

I really hope you’re not trying to do what I think you’re trying to do.

If someone is Christian and from the Bible Belt, of course they’re gonna have really conservative views.

I’m not defending them. Just pointing out that it’s a viewpoint that differs from mine.

I swear, some people try to make something out of nothing.

damn was just a question bruh why are you so easily offended
