Everybody either knows, or was once married to one. In fact, I know dozens.

I had no idea either. Just assumed that it was something similar to the "abbreviation happy internetters"-DTJSOL?

This was in the article and I 'm not sure that it's right, but it'what I'm going with.

"Karenism-Why? Because, that’s why. You might think it was mind-bendingly stupid if you did not understand her real motivation – it’s the giddy joy of bossing you around. To paraphrase a great line from Heat, which everyone should do as often as possible, the fascism is the juice.

The Karenists love this..."

Sorry, but you are mistaken, the governor of Michigan is Gretchen Whitmer, I couldn’t find anything about this Rose Harper and I am good in doing searches.

I heard one of the streams of talking heads yesterday bemoan Americans sheepishly accepting these encroachments.

He didn’t specify what action he thought we should all have taken, but he seemed pretty comfortably settled into his fine office.

Anyone who thought the nationwide surge in new firearms and ammo was intended in defense of toilet paper might wanna reconsider what’s really going on in Americans’ minds. Not wildly overreacting, but not blindly accepting either.

What’s funny is the Left uses Karen against conservatives when everyone know the truly obnoxious are liberals.
Even leftist insults are derivative rather than creative.

“Becky” is the girl who Beyonce thought wanted to take away her husband. The line in a song was “Becky with the good hair,” so people who wanted to racialize things wrongly assumed that “Becky” was white and applied it to young white women in general. I guess “Becky” and “Karen” are in competition, but “Karen” is more specific and may have more staying power. There’s a generational aspect, too - “Karen” is over 35 or so, and “Becky” is considerably younger than that.

This is yet another reason – as if the failure of the “We’re all gonna die!” model...

That model has not failed. We're all gonna die...it's just a matter of when and how.

Karen is a mocking slang term for an entitled, obnoxious, middle-aged white woman.

Yup, and the usage is appropriate. Creeping, never-retreating nanny-state liberalism is driven by younger and middle-aged white women.

I’ve long called Leftists neoPuritans. All the same fanaticism, intolerance, moral certainty, humorlessness and sheer zealotry is right there on full display. These are the same killjoys who banned dancing and maypoles and football as well as other sports and who tried to ban Christmas when they managed to take power in England.

They’re just so convinced they hold a monopoly on morality as well as intelligence and to disagree with their dogma in any way is an act of bad faith on your part. New England is the cancer that infects the American soul. Its a pity they didn’t stay in England instead of crossing the pond.

“Karens are busy body’s who mind every ones business, than their own.”

Exactly. Democrats.

The seeds thing is completely ridiculous. Gardening is the ultimate social distancing activity — performed mostly alone and on your own property. I grew up where we ate mostly from our garden about 3/4 of the year. Now is the time to plant. If seeds aren’t in soon, there is no garden for the year.

This is food, we’re talking about. There’s a very disturbing Nazi quality to what’s been going on.

the residual Puritanism that still compels a certain percentage of our countrymen, women and others, to nag, pester, and generally annoy the rest of us by trying to make us conform to their stick-up-the-Lieu vision of propriety.

Spiritual values that are absolute are necessary to prevent cultural rot. Prevention of cultural rot is necessary to preserve liberty. Preservation of liberty is necessary for life proper to a rational being.
