For those say in their 60s or 70s here. When you were in your 30’s or 40’s did you have the feeling that the world was a fucked up place? So much has been going on since I entered adulthood in the early 2000s and I feel like it’s getting more and more intense. It’s never ending.

Is it unique? Or has it always been this way?

    Not at all. I’m a sheltered white dude, oblivious in my security. But it’s important to point out that ignorance is a thing: we should know better but didn’t always.

    Using offensive/insulting terms ignorantly may be wrong but it’s not the same as intentionally

      that comparison is incredibly offensive and you should know better. You have never been ripped from your continent and your history and enslaved just for loving people. Black people have for the color of their skin. Queer does not equal Nigg-- and you fucking know that

      or you don’t and you’re a racist maga. pick. this is one of those things that ain’t got middle ground.

          Hey you get my point. If you aren’t uncomfortable reading someone compare nigg-- to queer, you have some introspection to do. Jackass couldn’t even do it himself, had to call it the n-word. beat around the bush.

            And yet your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. If English is your second language, I’m sorry some meaning was lost

        Bs. Feel free to be as judgmental as you want, to jump at false scares, to reduce grey issues to black and white, to be unable to distinguish differences in degree
