I need help dechuddifying a family member that is upset about woke culture and diversity quotas.
I’m a soft little bean that doesn’t want to be too intense and cause a fight or anything though. Yes, I know, I’m a pathetic lib. Roast me. But I grew up with a lot of family drama so I really dread going through that shit again.
I used to be a full blown “the status quo is fine, things are getting better all the time, technology will inevitably save us all when the Singularity™ happens” tech liberal.
Actually going to “futurology” conferences in my local area changed that. One too many DoD contractor booths and from-their-own-mouths terrifying statements from the ruling class and their minions made me realize the future they wanted was not Star Trek; it was something much closer to Silent Running, or even Rollerball.
I wonder how many people who have been radicalized to the right over vaccine skepticism would have made otherwise decent comrades.
They’re onto something, the elites DO want them to “own nothing and be happy”, but that’s just capitalists being capitalists. If it was “the Jews” then why would they be so willing to screw over so many of their fellow Jews, like me?
It’s a very successful outrage diversion tactic. They’re fine with the ruling class doing pretty much everything they accuse the Jews of doing, as long as it isn’t Jews doing it.
