    To set my POV, I'm an elder millenial (b. 1981) white woman with a journalism degree who has exclusively worked in big tech marketing and PR my entire career. I understand what Bozo is getting at re: addressing why so many younger men are disillusioned with progressive politics and that we need to better address it if we want to win them over from the MAGA side. This article, however, is a poor avenue for a good discussion around this because the author is a whiny ass bitch. For much of this article, I kept thinking "no shit, that's something every generation of non-white, non-male has felt at some point. It's not poignant just because now YOU personally are feeling this pain." Some of it made me laugh out loud at the lack of self-awareness. Allow me to provide examples:

    I also have two boys - Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Straight white males. What do I say when they ask about their hopes and dreams? Something along the lines of: "The world isn't fair, but in the vast majority of scenarios you already have a leg up being straight white boys. You do have to work hard, and you might get passed up sometimes for objectively unfair reasons. You might lose when you deserve to win. This happens to most people and is not unique to you or your circumstances. When it happens to you - and it will - you will not improve things by getting angry and spiraling and creating viral TikToks about it. All that gets you is surrounded by more anger and hatred. Look for ways to effect change without wallowing in your hurt. Talk to people in real life and not just online."

    I don't know what to say to guys like Jacob Savage. I'm sorry that attempts to reverse hundreds of years of discrimination against others have resulted in you feeling like sometimes you got passed over for jobs because of who you are?

    Win, lose, or draw, they’ll have an awful time in Pyle. 

    doubtful, i bet they encounter the friendliest and most helpful aggies who help them find Kyle and they are blown away by the awe-inspiring atmosphere, they'll probably even want to send their kids there!

  3. i am so glad to be retired... like 60% of my staff were Indians on work visas, they all had to travel somewhere annually to renew, others were naturalized...the stress and worry would be insane, and trying to manage a big team like that in this environment, under the 'leadership' in Texas would... not be healthy for me 😐 godspeed to all of them, good people, but i really don't want to hear about it if the worst happened/happens 😕

    Y'all can fuck anything up. If it wasn't Nicole, y'all would've fatwa'd her by now.

    Because she's right about one very specific thing: anything that doesn't fit the lockstep of the nutjob groupthink y'all tend to exhibit is immediately dogpiled and destroyed. Especially coming from the members that spent all that time bitching about Jimmy Kimmel being shut down. "Freedom of speech!" Remember that? But no, can't have dissent.

    And yes, some people just have stupid opinions, but if you can't debate without resorting to childish name-calling and profanity, then your just as useless as they are. Put them on ignore and move along. Or post the receipts about why your right so they look stupid when they ignore you. Then put them on ignore.

    So, I guess as the resident "DT bitch", please take your shit back to the CR shithole and let us get back to talking about how awesome Ahmed was.

    Thanks.

    Because American citizens weren't being detained? Because people who have legal status weren't being detained at their immigration check-ins and deported? Because government agents weren't ramming their cars into the cars of people they were trying to intimidate or capture, and then lie about what happened? Because agents of the state didn't wear masks and properly identified themselves to members of the public? Because people didn't feel like they needed to always keep their papers on them? Because they weren't shooting protesting priests with pepper balls? Because people weren't being deported to countries they have no connection to? Because we weren't sending people to rot in foreign prisons? Because there wasn't a clear pattern of lawlessness, abuse, lies, and coverups? 

    Maybe that's why people didn't seriously call it the Gestapo. Maybe that's why there was plenty of criticism concerning Obama and his immigration policies (and Biden's!) but not mass protests. Maybe a difference of degree actually fucking matters. 

    i mean jfc if you can't see the difference between an expedited administrative deportation process and fucking Bovino dressed like Himmler ramming cars in Chicago and dragging people out of daycares...i mean gotdamn...i really don't know what you can say about that 😕

     

     

    ETA after a moment's reflection... i remembered that people voted for the gestapo, either by preference or ignorance. so.
