r/GenZ discusses a pot of boiling frogs

https://old.reddit.com/r/GenZ/comments/1j6wter/this_is_you_guys/

Everyone knows the water is getting hotter. People don't want to talk about it, because we all just fight about why it is getting hotter and whose fault it is

Surely the people with their hand on the controls arent to blame though. Surely

can we just not frick with trans people? for five minutes

That's what I'm saying. The country is already fricked by the people holding the leash, but I refuse to get along with someone who thinks others are less than them. Maybe the country does need to go down now that I think about it

Incidentally, that's the reason why some people wanted to vote for Trump the first time.

It's so bizarre. I may just be spiraling daily cause of the constant doomer feed from Reddit but man if I don't just wish the worst thing we could disagree on was how a tax should be implemented

/r/onejoke

Y'all rant about "Trump Derangement Syndrome" but the fact that trans people exist lives rent free in your heads

I was making fun of those people lol

TDS. Trans Derangement Syndrome.

It's also that we live in a society where having any sort of political opinion polarizes you. Many people are closed-minded and instantly are offended if you have any opinion different from theirs.

For the record, it hasn't been this bad in a LONG time. The polarization was INTENTIONALLY PUSHED by Republicans.

"BUT bOtH sIdEs dO iT"

No, not to the same degree. Trump CONSTANTLY demonized half of the country. >> Every speech he gives includes some sort of attack on Democrats. The dude can't even send out a merry Christmas tweet without throwing in the term "radical left democrat thugs".

The polarization exists because Republicans got conned into hating their fellow Americans. And now they actively perpetuate it.

It was NOT like this before. Gen Z hear me when I say this ISNT normal. It's intentional.

Holy shit you're pathetic. You can't say Republicans caused polarization and then polarize the 'two sides' even more.

How insightful

The republicans say the exact same thing about the democrats -- the division continues.

They say it but can't back it up. Again, the "bOtH sIdEs" people are either malicious or horribly uninformed.

There is no equivalent to the Dominion v Fox lawsuit on the left.

There is no equivalent to J6 on the left.

There is no equivalent to Republican lawmakers STILL refusing to acknowledge the 2020 election on the left.

I can go on, but you get the picture.

Go on a left leaning sub posting a conservative idea and see how welcoming they are 😂

I got banned from /r/conservative for advocating for gun control laws. Spare me.

I got banned for saying the price of avocados rising wasn't Trump's fault and I got banned. I also once asked if any right leaning opinions were gonna get banned in a sub unrelated to politics and I got instantly banned and muted. So no, I won't spare you 😂

Not dramatic, I just agree with it:

I've grown tired of talking politics because I've been arguing for the last 8 years, and I've changed nobodies opinion. I'm still aware of politics, but I've come to the conclusion that nothing I say will change the minds of people around me.

Me when I completely lie and make shit up. There are no naked parades, my rights aren't pandering (do you even know what that means???), and trans people were politicized by conservative culture war bullshit. Also why the frick do you care if there's a pride month?? "Wahh wahh the people we dehumanize and brutally murder all over the globe are celebrating that they have at least slightly more equality now! Wahhh"

you both sound like horrid people to be around, icl

Gee how dare I want to have basic human rights without being the political scapegoat of the country I live in. They are literally trying to outlaw my existence.

see what I mean? you're acting incredibly passive-aggressive for no absolute reason… and again, that goes for both of you, meaning you both sound irritating to be around

Yeah. People tend to be aggressive about defending their basic rights and existence.

note that I said passive-aggressive. nobody thinks passive-aggressive people are defensive of rights or anything, everyone just thinks they're annoying, reasonably so
