I know this is a joke, but if this is genuinely how someone thinks, then it so self-absorbed and narrow minded to not be able to step out of your own mindset.
The comment implies absolute good/evil and that people are knowingly acting evil. The people you don't agree with do have consistent moral principles that they are working with (however misguided or skewed they may be). I can't stand racist/sexist people either, but if you can't see how these people are worried that "woke" people are destroying their view of society and threatening their morals, then you won't really be able to engage them to change their minds. This entrenched thinking is why all discourse is now just shouting matches at each other.
The people you don't agree with do have consistent moral principles that they are working with
Fuck no, they absolutely do not. Their principles are entirely cherry picked and applied only when convenient. If you can't see that, I'm not really sure what world you're living in but it ain't this one
I think what's more depressing about all of this is how many people agreed with you...yuck
And what's most uplifting is that of all the replies expressing disagreement, yours was the only disrespectful one
Well, not everyone is going to be openly vocal about a shitty take. That's a personal choice anyone can make. Just like I chose to express my disagreement about that original pointless comment, about my disappointment at anyone who upvoted it...and now at you too for, I'm guessing, being one of those who also upvoted that.
Am I supposed to feel bad about someone who's playing the devil's advocate for racist people? Lmao

I feel like Gen Z is massively disappointing.
Completely disagree. I don't have kids, but my niblings are cool as shit. The oldest one has become a misinformed centrist but that's about as bad as it gets. Thinking of them and other examples, I am hopeful for Gen Z. Hopeful for them personally, their future will suck more than mine.
Gen Z are electing people like Donald Trump and the AfD, threatening to overthrow democracy if we end TikTok, and openly opposing NATO. They're the fucking New Boomers, whoever called them Zoomers must have been a psychic. They're iPad Babies who grew up with a world of knowledge and opportunity and used it to ignore reality.
I'm allowed to state MY FEELINGS on the matter, I feel like Gen Z is MASSIVELY disappointing.
I hope I didn't hurt YOUR FEELINGS or your ability to state them.
Gen Z are electing people like Donald Trump
Any and all generations voted for Trump. What a dumb thing to say.
This is one of many examples of Gen Z reversed the trend on conservatism declining in elections across the globe.
Right because expecting someone in their early 20s to make a more rational decision than someone in their 30-40s totally makes sense.
Again literally ever single generation voted for Trump. Trying to call out a specific generation is hilarious and ignorant.
