    Yeah real politics is complicated and messy but that doesn’t mean we should demonize the act of fighting for our rights. And that is the thing that I am worried about. That people are starting to see fighting for your rights as a bad thing.

      They don’t see it as fighting for your rights, is the thing, though. They see it as petulant children whining about not getting dessert*.

      *not my opinion

        Yes. They’re happily ignorant about everyone but themselves. They believe we achieved perfect equality in the 60s. And that Obama marked the end of racism. Not it’s resurgence.

        Their own struggles are everyone else’s fault. Everyone else’s struggles are their own fault. It’s stupidity and its final form.
