The professional victim class is very upset with former President Barack Obama. Why? Because he basically pointed out how they’re not activists, they’re basically Nazis willing to do anything to enforce conformity of thought on the nation.
Obama, of course, didn’t call them Nazis, at least not in so many words, but the implication was there. And it wasn’t missed by the left-wing mob demanding uniformity of thought.
What did Obama say that has these snowflakes melting? He told a crowd at an Obama Foundation event, “This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically ‘woke’ and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids. And share certain things with you.”
You may be asking yourself how that’s controversial; how did getting along with people and compromising to get things done become a betrayal to some kind of liberal cause? If you’re a sane person, it’s not controversial, it’s reality. It’s adulthood.
But thanks to the policies and political party of President Obama, adulthood is now just a prolonged temper tantrum. The “woke” crowd is a large percentage of millennials, though not the whole group (thank God), and their existence to this point has not prepared them for a world outside the cocoon of groupthink.
They’ve been raised not to keep score, because losing could damage their psyche. Their walls are covered in participation ribbons and the area between their ears is marinated in praises of adequacy. When you’ve been told your existence makes you special by people who were supposed to prepare you for adulthood, adulthood becomes a scary place.
Reality doesn’t care that your parents thought the world of you, the world doesn’t think of you at all. You have to make it think of you by making something of yourself. And these little brats, whose fits thrown in the toy aisle may have ended up with “time out” also likely ended up with the toy they wanted.
So when someone, anyone, tells them “no,” scolds them in any way, they aren’t capable of handling it.
Some guy named Ernest Owens, who is described only as “a journalist,” was tapped by The New York Times to respond angrily to Obama’s mild rebuke of people freaking out over every perceived slight.
Owens wrote a long, whiny piece about how everyone else just doesn’t get how important these temper tantrums are because they’re too dumb to understand it. “Boomers and Gen-Xers, along with a handful of younger people with more regressive views, have been agitated by the way many young Americans — and especially young people of color — use social media, the only platform many of us have, to talk about the causes we care about,” Owens declared. “But they are going to have to get over it.”
Owens really lays on a thick coat of victim paint. He’s a gay black man who can’t accept most people don’t care about either of those things while believing he should be celebrated for them. Those things define him, and his “journalism.” In a video on his website he talks about how he brings his unique “intersectionality” to journalism. Not accuracy, not honesty or fairness, but intersectionality.
For sane people who don’t know, intersectionality is the ever-changing food pyramid of victimhood Democrats created to ensure they could take any situation and manufacture a victim. It’s garbage, and it’s ruining a generation of young people.
Over the weekend, a bunch of angry leftists in New York stormed the subway system, jumping the turnstiles to protest the idea of enforcing the law by arresting people who do just that. For good measure, they carried the usual “progressive” signs about f-ing and punching the police.
One of the organizing groups, calling itself “Decolonize This Place,” chanted, “It is our duty to fight for our freedom! It is our duty to win! We must love each other and support each other! We have nothing to lose but our chains!”
They’re too angry or dumb to realize they are free and whatever “chains” are holding them down are of their own making. It’s amazing how the more “woke” someone is, the more they seem to sleep through the obvious.
One day, hopefully soon and before it’s too late, these people will wake up and realize that they’ve been lied to. That President Obama, of all people, was giving them a gift when he told them to calm down, that reality bears little resemblance to their insulated drum circles and college “safe rooms.” Until then, be prepared for more Nazi tactics, ironically done to combat what they think of as fascism. Oh, and unemployment, because social media is forever, and who would be crazy enough to hire anyone bringing this kind of baggage with them?
Even obummer sees how these brat punks are throwing loads of people towards the Republicans.
Wow even more radical than Obama but this scumbag started the ball rolling. Now he is above all this
Election day today. Every single GOP voter must get out and vote today especially in the States of Kentucky, Mississippi and later, about a week out, Louisiana. Also it is imperative for all GOP voters in the state of Virginia to get out and vote today to insure that the Virginia legislature stays in the control of the GOP!!!
If Trump campaigning can help get out the GOP vote and the GOP wins all three Governor seats in KY, MS & LA, The Democrat Party is politically dead for the 2020 POTUS election. SO: Republicans, Conservatives, Independents, and some “Blue Dog” Democrats....turn out and vote today. Believe me your country is at stake. Not kidding!!!
” The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws”
ZERO44 is preparing his worshipers for the coming outing of his part in the
FISA-Coup d’ Etat attempt.
That President Obama, of all people, was giving them a gift when he told them to calm down
If Soetero really wanted to talk to them straight and tell them how the cow eats the cabbage, he would have admitted that he used the “woke” and those like them to win two elections, get rich, buy a mansion on the Vineyard, and fly all over the world on private jets to read speeches that someone else wrote, so he and the guy he married can live the lift of the 1%.
Obama can see that cancel culture damages liberals much more than it does us. A while back, he called it a circular firing squad. Fortunately, they do not listen to hum.
Obama was a tool. He wasn't really running anything as President, that was left to Jarrett and his handlers. He was the face for the public, with the real power brokers hiding in the shadows. Most times he even seemed bored with it.but that's probably what happens when someone's life has been groomed for the role.
Obama incubated and cultivated all this behaviour, and he admitted as much with his famous “get in their faces” psycho screed. Now that this kind of wokeness doesn’t benefit him in winjing elections, he’s had a change of heart? Laughable.
He also talked that way when running for office. But once he won, he was a FLAMING RADICAL, in other words, he was ‘woke’. And so now he goes back to talking that way...go figure.
Crazy that Obama and myself have something in common! I never thought that would happen which I suppose proves his point! Amazing!
““...People who do really good stuff have flaws” ZERO44 is preparing his worshipers for the coming outing of his part in the

My first thought.
So, who’s next up to be “The One II”, the next Magic Unicorn for the left?
So after eight years of radicalizing and trashing the country, Obama is telling others to be reasonable. He can stuff it. The Left is losing control of their younger members.
His little chat seemed an attempt to stop these brats from driving voters off the plantation.
...they do not listen to hum.(sic)

They do not listen to anyone. They turn on their own at the drop of hint of rationality, just like every manufactured youth wing revolutionary, ever.
But it will be fun watching them squirm as they try to refute zer0. Should peel off another few percentage points who won’t vote as far left and further divide their whiny, tantrum-obsessed coalition.
Nice try, Obama. This is the monster of your creation.
obama is 100% aligned with the “wokies.” He’s just super pissed they aren’t stealthy enough in their advocacy. obama is an old-school extremist who believes you have to keep your plans a secret so normal people won’t be aware of what’s happening until the cascading change is irreversible.
Yeah he was much better at it than these kids
...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one's own family.
Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.
Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday's Diversity is today's intolerable lack of Diversity.
Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.
Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.
This is it exactly. The Left is eating it’s own and pushing normal rational people toward the Republicans. So now that the radicalism he earlier pushed is hurting the donkeys, he’s trying to tamp it down. Too late.
Trump is gonna roll to victory again next year.
