yeah i know. i guess this is why there is always generational conflict between younger people and older people. older people are so set because things have been a certain way their whole life and at some point they just can't adapt. fortunately i am still young enough to at least not be a dick to college and high school kids.tempo_n_groove said:

There is a Black Mirror episode where the parent can turn off anything that may be upsetting to her child like a dog barking and scaring her or a person screaming. It reminds me of the "triggers" that people want identified.

Because we have to listen to white supremacists lecture on the virtues of why their race is superior? Or other similar bullshit? Seriously? Have we not progressed on some of these issues? We need to respectfully listen to someone like POOTWH clamouring on about how the election was stolen, as examples? And were those folks in the examples not allowed to speak?tempo_n_groove said:

I think the author doesn’t have the meaning of woke or wokeness figured out yet. Meanwhile, repub states are banning books and waging war on “others.” You know, real impacts on lives and not just in the realm of ideas or thoughts. Did the Tea Baggers allow candidates to speak at their constituent coffee hours and meet and greets? Let me know when liberals show up enmass armed to state houses while civil debate occurs, will you?
As per usual, from the article, the responsibility lies with the left. Sorry, go clutch your (general you) pearls somewhere else:
While the right’s response to woke panic is often to fan the flames, the center-left has a special responsibility to step up when progressive groupthink rears its head.

I'm on the side of inclusion but if you keep excluding things then what are we really doing?My go-to about all this is really basic: If someone is doing something that does not negatively affect someone else, it is OK by me. That doesn't mean I have to like it. For example, sex change. Physically altering ones body to change one's sex to me sounds like mutilation and the very idea creeps me out, but only when I think about how I would react to having that done. I know someone who has done this (gone from male to female) and although I fully admit the idea of that leaves me feeling uncomfortable, I fully respect this person's right to make that change and I still consider that person a good friend.As long as we are doing no harm to one another, we could so easily resolve a lot of conflict if we took a more live and let live approach."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

i was at a hospital the other day and some OR staff were in a disagreement. one of them is trans and the other person continued to deadname the trans person. i am not a hospital employee so i could not say any thing, but i was disgusted by the pettiness. this is the reason mistakes happen in hospitals. people have petty disagreements and do not communicate."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

Yeah, there are things worth standing up for and then there is pettiness. I was just reading a discussion about handshakes and some people were bitching about how they hate a "wet noodle handshake" like this is something worth getting worked up about (not to mention that a firm handshake can be really painful to someone with arthritis).
