Well, this is the world we live in now.
You can be murdered solely for your political beliefs, and many will cheer for it.
Stay safe out there, but don’t let your voices be silenced either.

Continuation from them wanting to put us in camps for refusing the vaxx. I’m still proud to be one of the hated minority with unacceptable views.

Yeah, people have been radicalized by Marxist ideology.
My brother is dating a radical psycho/narcissist. She's constantly spouting Feminist/Marxist bullshit. We avoid her at all costs, totally unhinged.
She gets triggered by confident women who know their way around the kitchen. She calls my wife Martha Stewart. My wife baked fresh sour dough bread in front of her. She fucking lost it.
Started spouting how she was given awards for furthering women in Coding, breaking glass ceilings for feminism. She ended up having a full on meltdown, claiming how my brother put her in "a compromising situation, knowing she was in a fragile state". She was outside yelling about how she was "fighting for her life and the life of her children".
It was a family dinner. The only thing fighting was our waistlines.

They see every little thing that happens as a microcosm of a great universal drama, and the resulting histrionics place them under tremendous mental strain. Believing that "the personal is political" means that these people can never relax -- they're like cult members who use every available opportunity to recruit new members, and they treat any refusal to join the cult as a personal attack

If she wasn't dating your brother that would be funny. Tell your bro to have some fun and dump her ass.

If only it were that easy. He's a stage 5 clinger. She pours poison in his ear and he makes excuses for everything she does.
I'm honest to a fault, I've told him to kick her to the curb more than a few times. Every single person we know can't stand her.
She's like the turd that just won't flush.

Saw this tangential observation in a "Telegraph" opinion piece today:
"[In the US] discontent and resentment are built into the national way of life, because they are the inevitable counterparts of success and achievement. Not everybody can win in this frantic race and if you are one of the losers (or even one of the less spectacular winners), it is deemed to be your own fault: you did not try hard enough or, worse, you threw away the chances you were given. The work ethic of Americans, and the judgemental attitudes that it breeds often strike British people as ruthless. Just as the condescending compassion that is shown to those who do not succeed in Britain is surprising to Americans, who find the complacency and resignation of those who make no attempt to escape the poverty of their origins deeply shocking."
I find this is true in many parts of Canada as well. The puritanical cultural assumptions which seem normal to North Americans also result in a great tolerance for cruelty as long as it's directed against those deemed to have violated a prevailing orthodoxy, as Charlie Kirk did. But the other side of murderous "wokeness" can be seen in those American "conservatives" who cheer on the bombing of Gaza because "they're all terrorists" and support Israel because "God told me so". The idea of dividing up humanity into "people like us" (the "winners", who are angels and deserve to have everything) and "people unlike us" (the "losers", who are scum and should be treated as such) is fundamentally Judaic, but percolated into North American culture via fundamentalist Christianity and has now poisoned the well of public discourse so much that no further unity or consensus among the people is now possible
