Reacting To Your INSANE Woke Situations

I literally let an old woman call me "Amy" because for some reason that's what she kept doing. My name is NOT Amy, its ABBY, but it really wasn't that big a deal. It wasn't disrespectful. She was an old lady and probably a little deaf. It didn't kill me or change my identity to be AMY for the twenty minutes or so we talked. People are such oversensitive babies these days.

You don't "embrace" mental health problems. You deal with them. They are not an excuse for bad behaviour and being lazy. I've delt with depression and anxiety since my teens. Possibly have undiagnosed ADHD. I'm learning how to hack my brain to do the things that are hard and deal with my emotional disregulation. I've used a combination of medication and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy over the years. It's really hard, but I'm no quitter. I refuse to be a victim.

Exactly. These self-diagnosing people are actually doing so much harm to those of us who have legitimate reasons to ask our providers for help on getting diagnosed. I’m suspected to have ADHD, but not because I exhibit laziness-that’s not ADHD. Brain maps and physical reactions to certain things that are supposed to alter my energy level have made me wonder, on top of having plenty of the more mundane symptoms. Even then, I wouldn’t care enough to go get a diagnosis or talk to providers about this being a potential issue if it wasn’t a plausible cause for my paradoxical insomnia. I asked my sleep specialist if we could look into ADHD treatments because _nothing_ was working, or if he could offer some kind of referral to someone who would know, and he basically brushed me off. I’m a teenager wondering if I have ADHD, because of people like the girl in that post, we aren’t and really can’t be taken seriously.

[@inkassosjefen6315]

Sometimes embracing and dealing with is kind of the same thing. If you ignorere them to "deal with" them you dont learn anything and the same thing happens again and again. If you embrace them, that could mean actually getting better. It kind of depends on how you use the words. I embrace my illness now, and by that I mean i am very very awear of the fact that if i sleep too little, I get delusions. Earlier i tried to "deal with it" and by that I mean living as a normal person. If I went to bed too late because I was Reading on a test, I thought "well normal people push through so I have to deal with it and just push through too!", and then I got delusions and destroyed my friendships and didnt finish school. Now I would embrace it, and that would look like this: ok, I didnt read enough, but I have to go to bed now because I now know that no matter what I think now, my mind will be different with a huge lack of sleep and doing good on a test wont help me if I get crazy and drop out.

I was at a rehabilitation department of a mental hospital for depression that led to a psychotic episode. It was the first time I literally encountered a blue haired woke girl, who wanted to transition. (I'm not from the states). What I found most disturbing was that the occupational therapists asked everyone to refer to her as "him". So.. my delusions about being someone that I'm not was bad, but for another girl to think that she's a man, which she clearly wasn't - that's fine and everyone should go along with it? It's a freaking mental hospital. They helped me with my delusions and at the same time they reinforce someone else's? Like what the hell was that? I only realized how bizzare this was a while after I got out of there. I didn't think much about wokeism at the time, I just wanted to be nice to others. What happened to "just be yourself", and not caring about what others think? It's like everything turned upside down now, and your identity is now solely based on how others see and call you.. You used to be able to just be a feminine guy or a masculine girl.. now you can't. Thank god I was born in '96, otherwise instead of being a little emo as a teen I'd be a big idiot.

Art and English student from Germany here 👋 and I gotta say this combination is where MAANYY of the woke students assemble and I feel out of place. I have a drawing class which is where most stuff happens. 1. This red-haired girl would come to my seat and tell me that she liked my drawing which was nice. I wanted to return a compliment and followed her to her seat and asked some questions about her current drawing which was a full body portrait. So I was like 'oh okay and btw what is she holding in her hand?' und she suddenly screamed 'WHY DOES EVERYONE GENDER MY DRAWING?!?!' and I was like.... It's just a drawing not a person calm tf down. Then one other time several woke students were philosophizing about stealing, more specifically how they would be accepting of people who would food steal out of hunger (which for the most part I can have compassion for as well) but then they went on to say 'well I should be able to steal a little battery or light bulb so my home can be a little lit up to feel a bit of happiness😢' and where wondering where the boundary would be. I said that I would feel compassionate for the hungry & homeless and that I would not necessarily snitch if I saw them stealing in a super market or sth. However I made it clear that I did not agree with stealing at all in general and that there are better ways to get what you need. Especially in Germany where you can get support (donations and financial support by the state). Then this red-haired girl joined the conversation and went so extreme as to say 'well what if I get bullied at school because I don't have this jacket from this specific brand? I should be able to steal it not matter what for my own good'.... I was like.. No that is not a necessity and then she accused me of not allowing other people the same degree of happiness as myself 😂I am not near anywhere rich lol. Needless to say, many woke discussions arise in this drawing class and I always have to bite my tongue not to say out loud that I absolutely disagree with almost everything they say

So glad to not be going to art school. There is this girl in my class who is going to art school and she is the definition of a woke drone. She has these fucking preprogrammed responses to everything. In mother tongue class we read a poem about a hard working man who never lost his faith in God despise the dying crops. His wife kept insisting to stop being faithful, but he just worked harder. In the end they were blessed by a supremely bountiful harvest. Moral of the story was to be patient, work hard, and trust in God. The teacher encouraged us to have a discussion and to describe the man. The girl called him stupid. The teacher, dumbfounded, asked why. She said: "putting in 0 effort and expecting for a man in the sky to work for you is stupid. Be responsible for your own success". The teacher was gobsmacked and after a bit of silence said "but he didn't depend on God. He kept working harder and harder!". The girl went silent and didn't respond. Another class we were doing a project on Seitsemän Veljestä (Seven Brothers) and I was assigned to work with that same girl. We were to make a comic on a scene from the book of our choosing. After a while it was my time to colour the comic, and... she hadn't drawn any clothes or line art for that matter. She didn't even clean the sketch! Hesitatingly I told her that we should give them clothes because otherwise they look naked, and the teaher may not liー "There is nothing wrong with nude art" I was confused as all hell. I explaines again that it is a school project that'll go onto the wall for the whole school to see and that the teacher may not like the characters being naked. She shrugged in silence and drew nothing. Eventually she said "look, we'll make the other guy blue. See? Not naked." She has a few piercings and her WhatsApp profile picture is borderline porn. 15 years old and her PFP is a picture of her in nothing but a very low bra revealing her... ehem... cleavage. She never smiles or sounds happy.

I had a group of friends who basically disowned me. I was always left-leaning, but apparently some of my opinions are considered conservative now since it’s gotten so extreme. First off, the first time I got Covid, I quarantined for the mandated 10 days and masked 5 days after that… I asked my friends to hangout after completing the quarantine. They said I needed to test negative first. Tests had gotten expensive and I didn’t have money for another, so I said that and that the CDC website states you can test positive for 3 months afterwards, but it’s not contagious after the 10 days… they said I was being too pushy by stating these things, and that my “selfish inconsiderate behavior” was endangering their lives. Fast foreword over a year later, one of the friends (who is also no longer part of the group) said she was uncomfortable with drag because it mocked women. I simply said I saw where she was coming from. I have no problem with modern drag for adults, but it did originate as a minstrel show making fun of working women in Ireland. Anyway, they said my “playing devils advocate” was dangerous. Then I was honest and admit I was mainly uncomfortable with drag for kids, because it’s inappropriate, and that I was troubled by the explicit LGBTQ books for kids depicting s3xual intercourse! This was somehow also “dangerous conservative rhetoric”?? I feel like my opinions are very mild! But they all thought I was somehow endangering their lives.

My sister bought into feminism and the woke mindset. We use to be really close friends, but now it’s like she’s constantly mad at me. Nearly everything I say sets her off on angry rants, and she’ll say I’m being condescending or misogynistic. She berates me for stuff that happened decades ago. She now thinks our brother is autistic, that I’m a closeted homosexual, and that our parents were abusive. The whole family has to walk on eggshells just to avoid her blowing up. And she’s _constantly_ on TikTok. Outside of arguments or drama, it’s all she wants to talk about. I call woke a mind cancer and I mean it, it’s like my sister died and an imposter took her place. She used to be so sweet and funny: the transformation is horrifying.

[@Dolphanatic]

You need to be there for her regardless. Continue to be that counterbalance to her rhetoric if she continues down that path. The best way to deradicalize someone is to simply be available to talk to despite whatever differences and/or disagreements you may have. Without that human connection, people like your sister will turn to stuff like social media as an outlet instead of interacting with other people in real life, which is what seems to be happening in your case. Remember that person-to-person interactions are important if you want to prevent people from becoming out of touch.

[@steffenjensen422]

Most of the deradicalization I've seen was prompted by them getting cancelled themselves. Feeling how it is on the other side really makes people think.

[@steffenjensen422]

One could say my own story is a story of deradicalization. Even though I wouldn't have considered myself radical, I've always been very scientific and fact-oriented, I was active in a leftist party. Over time, a new generation showed up and replaced the old and the issues that we talked about changed from social issues to wokism. I wasn't willing to just drink the cool aid (I always questioned everything, even if just for the sake of argument if I agreed - this is what I was taught to do to be a critical thinker and prospective scientist). Well, turns out these people can't argue and instead attacked me for questioning the narrative. The weirdest parts were the ones where I actually agreed but wanted to think about potential counters to - you know - debate our actual political opponents. Even if I prefaced with "I agree, but could someone maybe say that... and what would we answer?" I would often get weird looks instead of a debate. Being critical made me suspicious. Well, after a few bigger shitstorms, I left as did most of my friends. The party used to get up to 10% in national polls. Now it gets 3%.

[@ryanhoward8694]

Two questions that can really help with having coherent conversations: 1) What do you mean by that? 2) Why do you believe that to be true? #1 is a question of clarification. It helps us to understand what the other person means and can help defuse the rhetorical force of another person’s claims. For example: “You’re just a bigot!” “What do you mean by ‘bigot’? And can you explain how that label specifically applies to me in this situation?” #2 is a question of evidence. It forces another person to consider what proof/evidence they have for holding their viewpoint. It can help a person realize that they really don’t have good reasons for holding a particular viewpoint. Questions (rather than statements) can help you maintain control of the conversation (in a way that isn’t aggressive or tyrannical) while not immediately forcing a person to go into defensive mode. I recommend the book “Tactics” by Greg Koukl for more info on this topic. It’s written from a conservative Christian perspective but can be useful for anyone who wants to have better conversations with people they disagree with.

[@matthewwriter9539]

When I was in college, about 15 years ago, I saw a video on KZbin that was about how we shouldn't make fun of people for being gay or lesbian. The video took place in an alternate universe where nearly everyone was gay or lesbian, and we followed a young girl, just starting puberty, who realized that she was a heterosexual. She feared being teased and ridiculed for this. Her two mothers had a conversation about the heterosexual couple that moved in down the street, and had even put up a blue and pink flag to broadcast their identity. This girl was told to stay away from those kinds of people. There was even something that suggested that the girl's school was putting on a production of the classic William Shakespeare play "Romeo and Julian. When the other children at school find out that this girl is a *gasp!* heterosexual, they tease her, pick on her, and beat her up. As part of this there is some name calling. They call her "a breeder". ...my question is this...we currently live in a world where less than 15% of people are gay, if we lived in a world where less than 15% of people were mating and producing offspring...wouldn't the population go down significantly?

[@cincinnati4391]

Yup. As a gay guy, just because somebody is “unique” sexually or race wise doesn’t mean they should have a say over the majority. It’s called the majority for a reason. Identity politics are a joke.

[@bookishbrendan8875]

This all has its roots in the sexual “liberation” movement. It was bound to happen after that. Also: fo sho. Last Christmas, at a family gathering, I was asked how many more kids I want (I have two now), and I said, “As many as I can have.” The lady across from me practically started crying, and said-I kid you not-“But what about global warming??!” These people have all their priorities backwards.

Apparently for them, not having kids is going to fix global warming somehow, even though the United States isn’t even close to 1st in population.

[@doid4354]

I mean I’m personally against people having a lot of kids because there is no way all of those children will be loved equally. Unless you’re superman or something, but no parent is perfect. That’s just my opinion. I tend to think about the reality of a kid living with multiple siblings. It does create competition and could also bring resentment. Saying this as 3rd born out of 4 kids. I love my siblings but growing up was messy. You’d have to be pretty confident as a parent to have multiple kids.

[@olivesama]

​​​​​@@doid4354 The other thread is no longer taking comments, so I'm responding here. It is important to note that Thomas Steensma, the researcher behind the study you mentioned, stated that his aim was to find predictors of persistence, not compile comprehensive numbers on desistance. He used diagnostic criteria from 1994 that focused on cross-gender preferences rather than body dissatisfaction, meaning there was no clear distinction between those wanting to alter their bodies and those simply wanting to try different gender roles. If the study was done again today, he's said that many of those kids wouldn't have even been considered trans in the first place. In a 2013 follow-up, the desistance rate was down to 63% from the previous 84.2%, but 30% of this group stopped contacting the clinic without reporting remission (i.e. remission was simply assumed rather than confirmed). Also noteworthy: 30% of the *total* study cohort of 217 was initially classed as "subthreshold," meaning they didn't meet *all* the criteria for a diagnosis to begin with. There's a reason he's said in interviews that his studies should not be seen as the final word on desistance. They very explicitly were not set up to confirm anything about the desistance rate, which is why his standards for this were not more rigorous. So long as he could find any patterns surrounding persistence, that was his original aim. I don't bring this up because I wish to deny that regret exists or to deny that there are kids who grow out of it. But given that satisfaction rates among those who transition are well over 90 percent, this suggests that resistance to transitioning is markedly more ideological than it is rooted in fact-based concern.

[@doid4354]

@@olivesama I still believe it’s wrong to give “affirming care” to kids because there is still a chance they will regret it. The stats may show that most people are satisfied after transitioning, but that isn’t a good argument for *kids* to be able to make that choice. I’ve got no problem with adults transitioning, but it is not ethical to transition children.

[@olivesama]

@@doid4354 There will never be a set of procedures with a zero percent regret rate. Lasik eye surgery, knee replacements, and prostate cancer surgery have higher regret rates than gender transition, yet we don't curtail such treatments on that account. What are the ethical implications of allowing someone to go through puberty, to grow up, to realize in adulthood that they are trans, and then to have them endure the long process of undoing the "damage" (for lack of a better word) of their first puberty when transitioning earlier in life could have prevented it? Of course, if someone starts transitioning at 18, that can still be plenty of time to "pass." I've seen many such cases. One's bones have still not finished fusing by 18. But what about those who developed early relative to their peers and for whom puberty was more physically pronounced? Such people might have gained much from starting before 18. I've seen some people say that they can only bring themselves to accept trans people who "pass," but then those same people proceed to support policies that would make it harder to so.

Hi, first of all, I'd like to thank you for all the great work you're doing, providing a voice of sanity in the world of today. I watched plenty of your videos and wanted to share my story. Truth be told, it's not as much why I left the left, it's how the left left me. Years ago, I've been a centre-left liberal. I still support same-sex marriage, and my views on abortion align neither with the left, nor the right. Anyway, I slightly "overslept" the emergence of wokeism, it's been a non-issue to me. I was oblivious of the gender ideology. I didn't notice that until the winter of 2020/2021. I met a girl through Tinder. No bio, normal photos that did not suggest anything wrong. In conversation, she presented herself as a liberal, there was no woke stuff involved. We've grown close, and while she did have some depression issues, I didn't want to push her away. I have experienced heavy depression, and so I felt for her. I didn't yet know that my compassion would be my undoing. My being helpful in time she spinned into me implying she's weak. Her being vegetarian turned into an attack on me, that my not beint one makes me morally inferior. Her next targets were my good manners, like letting her through the door first. I have very traditional manners, I let ladies through the door first with a slight bow, even - as is the gentlemantly way. I was billed a specimen of toxic masculinity and patriarchy. She started reacting negatively to simple physical contact, claiming it's an invasion of her personal space. Of course, I've been growing weary of that. Communism and gender ideology motifs were prevalent in everything she talked about, even when talking about friends and family. Whenever I tried to gently confront her about it, she would change the subject to either her "abusive ex" stalking her (I don't know if that guy was even real), or having suicidal thoughts. Because after all, she wanted to keep me slaved to her by inducing fear of the consequences of leaving her. The point of that was, of course, to exploit me emotionally and to turn me into a punching bag for her ideology, someone to call a fascist and a chauvinist, white male pig. Eventually, under influence of whatever substances she's been dumbing herself with - I know she used weed and booze mostly - she made a mistake and it turned out she's been cheating on me from the very beginning. Of course, I dumped her in the strongest rant I could think of. I was finally free, but broken-hearted. All my subsequent dates turned out bad. Seemingly normal girls turned out to be woke leftists, trying to trick me into saying something that would trigger them. These dates felt like interrogations. The frequency of that happening quickly showed me that plenty of them harbour misandric, leftist views and anyone who isn't a socialist sorry for being a straight white male is their enemy. Having been shown so much hostility for simply disagreeing has sent me on a path of the conservative perspective. I discovered just what an elephant in the room I've been ignoring all the time by tolerating the crazy, woke left. How far the centre has moved to the left, and how their calling themselves liberals or centrists is - more often than not - a goddamn lie. In 10 years, my views haven't changed all that much in most respects. It's just what I thought to be my side came up with so many things that I couldn't accept, that it pushed me away. With Millenials and GenZ, as a conservative I am basically a pariah. When I'm asked "how could you become a conservative?!" the best and most honest response to them I can think of is "I am what you made me."

It's one of my pet-peeves that everyone these days self-diagnoses themselves as ADHD. Guys, there are a LOT of traits that ADHD people have that are in literally EVERY human. ADHD is about MAGNITUDE of behaviors, not simply having them. Every single person's mind can, and WILL, wander. Everyone finds it difficult to focus on tasks they don't like. I believe everyone wants an excuse. The best, most valuable thing you should have learned from school is HOW TO DO THINGS YOU DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE DOING.

[@anathemat-002]

Exactly this. And when they refuse, you know it's more about them pushing a certain agenda out of malice or ignorance. I'm a woman, and I'm not afraid to admit that as a kid/younger teen the internet had me totally believing in the most random unsupported woke bs. I was a huge proponent of the whole "men suck, LGBT+ is oppressed and can do no wrong!!!" Group. You know what they didn't tell me? Well, a lot of things, but the one I found to be most damning and disillusioned me from that agenda the most was domestic violence statistics. Both the implications that all men were abusers through twisted data and the fact that most relationships are hetero to begin with, but also through the subtle implications made through simple social decisions (like how everyone then, and now, comment "are the straights Ok?" Under every single account of DV, or just weird controlling situations, even if it was explicitly written by a gay couple.) Come to find out, the most likely pairing between sexes to commit domestic violence or abuse... is lesbians. Like, *by far.* To add to that fun little Stat pile, the *least likely* group to experience domestic violence are those that *only* include men- i.e. Gay Men. If you are a man, your chances of being abused jump exponentially not when introduced to the intimate presence of another man (the people we've been told commit all the crime) but when they're introduced to intimate situations with WOMEN. The only place where this isn't true is in prison, but I think we can all agree that that's not a normal representation of society, considering they're all criminals and it's a sex segregated system (but female prisoners still report sexual abuse at a far higher rate than men, both from guards and other FEMALE inmates). And all that then made me question what the point was. Because up until then, I thought I was fighting, if a little backhandedly sometimes, to help the most victimized group (women). But then, come to find out, women beat up other women way more often than men do. Wouldn't protecting women mean calling out their primary abusers? Wouldn't it be hugely beneficial to *lesbian* women- a class we'd been told is inherently more oppressed than straight women, by preventing their abuse at the hands of other women too? Apparently not, because when I brought this up to my liberal friends at the time, I was told I'd believed inherently faulty and misleading data (versus the very strong sample sizes of 12 that prove your transgenderism theories, Nancy?) And that if I continued to criticize any women as capable of the same violence that men were capable of, that I would be ousted from my inner circles. They were quite literally so dependant on the shallow and unsupported idea that men are evil and women represent inherent good (except for in incredibly rare and often, to them, justifiable cases) that any attempt to actually improve the lives of certain women, or to call out other women, was met with vitriol. The same thing is happening among the trans community right now. They legalized self ID as a valid form of identification for anyone who wants to claim transhood, despite all the dangers this possesses to women's safe spaces and sports and so on. But the same people who say "all you have to do to be trans is say you're trans" are the first to jump on the case of someone who represents them poorly by saying "they're not *really* trans" as if someone can't be trans and also a really bad person. And it's not a one off thing, either. They did it with "Karen" White, who was a man and transferred to a women's prison because they self identified as a woman, and then proceeded to assault multiple women (who would've guessed? They were in prison for doing that in the first place). Jonathan Yaniv, the dude who wants to show little girls how to insert tampons and keeps creeping in women's bathrooms under the guise of being a trans woman are widely discounted, but only because he decided to be a creep (plenty of people in the community were on his side, backing him up as a trans woman when he was only harassing waxing staff for not being qualified to wax male genitalia). Hell, even people who have questioned themselves intensely, and visited gender clinics, and expressly said "I think I'm trans and actually a woman" have been discounted because they went on to do bad things. That description I just laid out describes Ted Kosinksky- the Unabomber- who questioned his gender identity and visited multiple gender clinics frequently and spoke about it in his own personal journals that were recovered from his home. But apparently some random trans Healthcare "authorities" have decided that there's absolutely no way he was trans. Why or how have they come to this decision despite the fact that it appears Ted thought about this a lot? Nobody knows. Anywhosies, sorry for rambling, I just was reminded by your comment of how absolutely insane the commitment to a one sided "good vs evil" perspective is in a lot of left leaning circles, then and now.

It's absolutely psychotic and manipulative. She's only just now starting to see how toxic he is as in the past several years she has lost friends and pushed away family in his defense.

When I was in 7th grade, I was talking with some friends about sexuality/attraction. One of my friends mentioned something about having ‘felt sexual attraction’ (can’t exactly remember the context of this comment) and in response I commented “I haven’t felt sexual attraction yet.” (Keyword of this is YET, I was intentionally insinuating that I felt I was too young to feel that way, and that eventually I would). Another friend, who was a 6th grader, responds “So you’re asexual?” And without a beat I responded “No, I’m twelve.” I continued on to explain to them that when you’re young you’re not MEANT to feel sexual attraction. Because that would not scientifically make sense. Your most fertile years aren’t middle school. So it wouldn’t make sense really for your body to do that. Your body is changing yes, but it doesn’t make sense you would also be thrown right into sexual feelings. There is a bot of an acclimation period for girls to adjust to their changes before then. Boys puberty starts up their sexual feelings and so by the later time they get around to that, girls are more accustomed to their new bodies. If you’re a child, and you feel sexual feelings, you most likely have something wrong with you. It is not normal. They didn’t seem to believe me when I told them this. They said that I was probably asexual. When I said something about having no crushes they would say “you’re aro/ace then”. I have since gotten away from them. I was luckily a very strong willed kid, and I wholeheartedly believed in how I felt over how other people told me I felt. I’m 16 now, and I’m not sure if I’ve felt sexual desire, I mean I don’t really feel ready to kiss anyone yet, but am I still sure I will eventually? Yeah. It’ll happen someday. And I’m scared out of my mind for that but hey, it’s natural. And my life hasn’t been all cupcakes and butterflies. I’ve had my fair share of mistreatment and struggle, but I haven’t let that change my perspective. People will say things, and will assume things, but if they do, just ignore them. Or laugh it off. When I got to highschool people kept assuming I was lesbian because I was “quirky” (I wasn’t boring) and didn’t dress very feminine(literally tshirts and jeans). But I didn’t flip out, I just responded that I wasn’t.

When you brought up the point that it's not a good thing that people were embracing their ADHD, reminds me of the channel "ADHD Love". They're a channel dedicated to being more sensitive towards it and the woman is the main subject while the husband helps explain things. The wife looks like she makes the husband absolutely miserable based on their interactions, the content that they revolve their channel around and the simple fact that the man looks like he's ready to Minecraft himself, in every single video. He looks so done with life and acts like it's not the case.

I walked with artists, you can guess it, 99% of them are woke. I had a crucifix under my shirt, which, even if i'm a christian, i got as a gift from a family member that is living on another country, so it is personal. When i bent down to get some stuffs after a bazaar ended, my crucifix fell of the shirt and a guy saw and he acted like a vampire, he got his hand over his face and said "Are you- are you a christian?!". Nobody talked to be me on the art scene, so i left that place and i began fixing electronics for a living, arts doesn't pay well anyway... Ironically, the bazaar space was in fact offered by a church for "cultura reasons", and they don't cared about making profane arts on the place, drawings of "male parts" and "male parts inside the male part from behind". One moment a mother with her son went to that table and pushed her son as fast as she could and left the place. Then artists ask themselves why nobody cares about [modern] art anymore. I would do the same if i was that mother. Another case was when a feminist made a punk show on another bazaar, note, this place was public and on the downtown, everyone could enter the place, it was a state institution. And those feminists showed their "upper parts" and later laid down on the floor and began to "touch that area". Note, majority of the people around them were around 16 yo, and there were some children there, that, of course, their mothers took them out.

About safe injection sites: it really decreases using drugs in bathrooms, but they must have substitution ie. methadone and conection with rehab facilities

[@3namechangezalowdevry90day7]

Why not just public restrooms/ cel phone charging stations? Pay somebody to clean them. Yes, it'd cost tax money but you'd make more in sales tax if customers had a cleaner downtown to go to.

[@anathemat-002]

​@@3namechangezalowdevry90day7Because that doesn't really solve the issue, and it's still putting people at risk- just different people. Clean restrooms and amenities like cell charging stations are cool, and everyone would be happy with them. But that doesn't fix the addiction problems among homeless people. They're going to shoot up in the bathroom if you let them- neither of those ideas stop that. Sure, you can have someone in there cleaning after every single person, but because you haven't discouraged shooting up, you're just putting them at a higher risk of getting stuck with needles or infected with other shit, because now instead of dealing with needles once a day when cleaning, they're doing it after every use. While I have qualms with safe injection sites, especially with how they've been handled in places like Canada and the US, they're steps in the right direction assuming they go hand in hand with rehabilitative programs (my problem is that they don't currently in most places).

[@3namechangezalowdevry90day7]

@@anathemat-002 The thing is, all this stuff costs $$$$. You have to start with fighting crime and making the cities livable or there's no sales tax and property tax to fund ANYTHING. Since the funds are limited, triage has to happen. Start by helping those most likely to get back on their feet. Clean public restrooms. Then patrolled parking lots for the working poor to sleep in their cars between shifts. 24 hour warming/cooling facilities. THEN capsule hotel style shelters for those who are drug tested and will keep them clean. Once you have that in place THEN you can build a rehab and give the junkies the choice of rehab or jail.

my sister joined a theater team in uni and the students who run it had everyone call each other by they/them or their prefered pronouns. Whenever someone used he/she to people who literally looked male/female they were rude and team up to harass them, even kicking them out of the team. Also they used to 'say goodbye' to students that had to leave (older members/ graduates etc) by kissing them on the mouth. A boy who refused was labeled homophobic and toxic/fragile masculine and eventually left the group...

I work for a very liberal state's government that has many ridiculous meetings. One was supposed to be about issues going on in the world that are impacting us. Some people that descend from middle eastern countries said they were feeling uncomfortable with being in public because of the controversy over Palestine and Israel, which was actually a really interesting topic. However, a woman then hijacked the meeting and talked about how oppressed she was being misgendered (they/them pronouns). She even said she was being discriminated against by people in previous meetings. She got more sympathy than anyone else because she started breaking down crying about it. But my favorite meeting ;was for our veteran's day meeting being told the toughest job in the military was being a spouse. Thank god my camera and mic were off because I was cracking up.

[@Schogetto]

Alright fellas, I got one for you aswell. I grew up in Bavaria, a traditionally rather conservative state in Germany. Last year I started attending a university to study IT and electronics. Since I'm also personally invested in societal shifts and happenings I wondered, if I could observe the same "woke madness" with which, you Americans have to deal with, at my University. After all, Germany shares with Britain the title of being the European America. I could not come up with much due to my institutions nature of being mainly focused on mathematics, physics, chemistry and other scienetific subjects. Seems like that deters most of the crazies. Go figure. Sometime later I got in contact with a guy from the University of Augsburg and he told me that some of his fellow students were of the extremely left leaning type which heavily influenced the campus. Once again, some time goes by and suddenly a headline hits the news that the student parliament of the University of Augsburg proposed the installation of gloryholes in the main hall (look it up if you don't believe me). The argumentation was that the life of studying is sometime "stressfull" and such an installation would help relief stress and anxiety. Furthermore it would present the university as a space which is "critical of heteronormativity". Sex for everybody, straight or queer, since gloryholes are anonymous. Naturally the proposal was immediately shot down and put away in the files as joke. The thought of wanting to turn a embassy of education and reason like a uni into a wh*rehouse is just baffeling to me. This wasn't directly my personal experience but I thought it to be so redicolous that just had to mention it. Love your vids and best regards :)

I was at Walmart* trying buy some cream for my sisters allergy causing puffy eyelids. Everything was behind glass. I couldn't help but think how much human time was being wasted by having everything behind glass. Probably 5 other people waiting for products. Well, after using the internet to figure out what cream to buy and finding a person to unlock the glass. The lady informed me that the lock on the section didn't work. It was right in the middle so we couldn't get to it via another section. So much time is wasted by tolerating dishonest and lying. I used to work at a mechanic shop across the street from a mom and pop hardware store. They let us go in and grab whatever we needed, fill out a receipt by hand. And then they billed us weekly. This caused us to buy a lot more from them and lead to better faster repairs. Since we knew we didn't need to wait in what could be a long line. We also saved money since we didn't need to stock any common hardware. * I know that was my first mistake

“But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred”. This comes from Martin Luther King Jr., a well known civil rights activist from the 60s, during his famous I Have a Dream speech in Washington. Many gay people just want respect from society, to be seen as no different from straights, and for all kinds of discrimination towards gays to be eliminated. It’s just sad that many LGBT people have resorted to hate towards straights, and clearly those people need to rethink what they were fighting for in the first place.

An LGBTQ+ supporter kept spamming LGBTQ+ stuff in the chat of a game, it made it very hard to use that chat. Me and some of my friends went to their spot, a transwoman was there ofc. We just asked if they all could stop negatively impacting the game for us but the transwoman called us homophobic and bigots. One of my friends got punished because he was arguing with the transwoman and said that gender can't be changed. I later found out that the transwomen did some other disturbing stuff too but nothing bad ever happened to him. Another time, one of my friends complained that people were making up genders and denying science. One of the leaders told him to stop and that my friend needed to be inclusive. I don't understand how the LGBTQ+ people are allowed to spread their ideology and their opinions everywhere but when us Christians share our side of the story we get called names and are told to stop. If they can spam and scream that gender is cultural, why can't we say that gender is biology? Why is only one group's thoughts allowed to be said while the other is swiftly silenced?

I grew up about 30 minutes outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2019, I started a job in the middle Salt Lake at a Pet Grooming Salon. We had to lock our bathroom because homeless people would do drugs in there. I had to arrive early to work so I could clean up the used needles, condoms, and human feces in the parking lot before clients arrived. People broke our windows during the 2020 BLM riots. The owner of my salon told a woman that she needed to leave because she was trying to sell herself to our clients. She retaliated by defecating on a clients car. The “massage parlor” next door to us was pretty much a brothel. I used to take TRAX to work everyday (it’s Utah’s public transit system) but it became too dangerous for me to walk the two blocks from the station to my work so I had to get a car. Our governor had been bussing illegal immigrants to salt lake in the middle of winter. These people had no warm clothes and nowhere to go, yet our governor and SLC mayor were celebrated for allowing them to come to our city. The only safe places in Salt Lake City are the areas owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (“Mormons”). The difference between places like Temple Square and City Creek and then the public areas is astonishing. A lot of people think Utah/SLC is run by the Mormon church, but it’s really not. The church owned areas are kept clean, have their own private security (because the police aren’t allowed to do anything), and are all around a much better place to be. It makes me wish that Utah was actually a theocracy like people tend to think it is. The church runs homeless shelters, kitchens, and offers free programs to help people get back on their feet. The problem is that the government rewards these people for not trying to make a better situation. Now, the suburban city that I grew up in is over 50% Hispanic. My parents, who still live there, had to get better home security due to homes being burglarized (I lived there for 20 years and there was one burglary in our whole neighborhood), my mom can’t go shopping alone anymore. I got married and moved to Wyoming with my husband because we couldn’t afford to stay in Utah. The grooming salon I worked for ended up closing and reopening in a different area outside of the city. My home is gone. This is happening in UTAH. I can’t imagine what is going on in the more left leaning cities and states. And I haven’t even mentioned the education system in Utah…
