I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

No, the culture war is YOU. Look at what youre doing. "Its them, its all them being horrible to buzzword!". Its not true. It was never true. Its just the excuse people use to justify dog shit.
Like tv shows that dont land with the audience. All the cave brained cunts in the world run to social media to decry the chuds who got it cancelled. But how? How would the chuds not watching it, get it cancelled? Its not like they are the target audience, so why is no one on the supposed left watching this shit? Its being made for them. Like the Acolyte. For some reason we are supposed to believe that youtube grifters like the critical drinker and nerdrotic convinced 153 million households around the world not to watch a great show, just because there was a black girl in it. Its just not possible.
This is the culture wars. Marvel, star wars, star trek, lord of the rings, the witcher, etc etc etc. They abandoned the core audience for those things, and then all started crying "racist, sexist, homophobe!" when they all stopped watching. And this has bled into American politics. And because those in Hollywood are pushing this shit, and calling people awful fucking names, while at the same time taking money to support democrats, the general audience is associating dems with hollywood cunts. Kamala didnt even push any "woke" stuff. She was basically pushing old style Republican stability. She was the PERFECT republican nominee. But no one wanted her, because of that association with hollywood.
The cultures need to end. We need to stop calling stuff woke or not woke, and go back to good or bad. We need to stop pretending that the only reason to like or dislike something is because its got minorities in it. And stop freaking out when theres a white girl on tv selling shitty jeans.
Hahahahahaha yea sure buddy the culture war is the people who are finally standing up for themselves against the onslaught of racists and homophobes and definitely not mega rich conservatives constantly inciting violence against others in order to distract from their theft of wealth from the working class. Man, you were at least margainally serious before but if you’re more mad that people are standing up for themselves than you are that peoppe need to stand up for themselves then you’ve lost it, bud.
And people were not mad about “a white girl selling shitty jeans”. It was a fucking Aryan looking woman under the words “good genes” in a time where white supremacy is going hog-fucking-wild in the US and they’re mirroring Nazi Germany in disturbingly close and obvious ways. There are literally people trying to create whites-only communities and, newsflash, those people are conservatives.
Get a grip.
No it isnt. Its for the perpetually online, to use social justice issues for their own self serving reasons. Worthless internet points at best, clout and money at worst.
That is very untrue. People appreciate representation, like a lot, and they are very real people. You may do well to get out of your bubble.
So I’m bad for focusing on the hate that is right be very publicly pushed and even baked into legislation in many places and that makes me the same as the people who are screaming about made up nonsense and using that as justification for even physical violence against minorities?
You’re not being “reasonable” just because you don’t have the spine for a strong position. All you want is for everyone to stop being loud, regardless of the context, and that’s nothing.
Saying “everyone is the problem actually” is not enlightened, it’s just an easy answer. There is so much history and context that is missing from that position. It’s nearly the same energy as saying that Ukraine has equal or near equal guilt in the war it is currently a part of despite the fact that it was minding its own business before it was invaded for “reasons”.
Minorities have spent so goddamn long being told they can’t have a damn thing in the US and every single thing they do have has come with a fight. Hell the working class in general couldn’t get a 40hr work week without literal bloodshed. A little black girl, who’s still alive today because it wasn’t long enough ago, needed an escort to go to school because of how pissed white conservatives were that she was going to be attending a school with white kids. Straight people make all kinds of shitty movies but an all female Ghost Busters isn’t perfect and people blame the gender of the cast and call it “pandering” because they finally weren’t the target audience this time and they can’t let it go.
I remember thinking similar things around ~20 years old and then I actually started learning things and meeting these people, not just in passing but as my friends, and shit changed quick.
