U.S.—A new pair of Microaggression Goggles has been made available for people who want to find something offensive in any situation.

The goggles are available on Kickstarter. The promotional video claims that the goggles are able to actively identify threats to political correctness and alert you when you're about to be dangerously oppressed.

"Are you tired of having to search for something to be oppressed by?" a voiceover says in the ad. "With our patented microaggression-tracking technology, you won't have to search any longer. Now, you can instantly identify up to 100 things to be offended by in any conversation."

The product will detect a wide range of microaggressions, including the following:

"What are you so aggravated about?"

"I spent over an hour putting on all of my make-up, coordinating my pants and blouse and doing my hair.  And l had barely got out the front door when some strange guy harassed me!"

"Wow.  What did he do?"

"He noticed!"

You would think Microaggression Sensetove Sunglasses (brought to you by the same people who make Peril Sensitive Sunglasses) would be more popular.

Liberals are offended by nearly everything and are permanently aggrieved. They are like spoiled children and needed to be treated as such.

Right. You really don’t need to buy those (hypothetical) $99 microaggression goggles. If something exists, some liberal somewhere will be offended by it.

But today’s liberal takes it a step further. The offensive item must be more than ignored. It must be erased, eliminated!

Side story: A high school near me had an Indian as its school symbol. It was a very respectful - even noble - picture of an Indian chief. ONE PERSON complained. And that person was not even a native American.

The predictable result: The school changed its symbol.

The project was cancelled because the goggles exploded when the wearer looked into a mirror because the microaggression goggles were themselves microagressive inducing a positive feedback loop.

Which is why you should give liberals only negative feedback.

Just saw "Sleepless in Seattle" again this morning (nothing else was on, and I needed a distraction)... amazing how Rosie O'Donnell isn't hauled away in chains for uttering the line:

"He could be a crackhead, a transvestite, a flasher, a junkie, a chainsaw murderer... or someone really sick!”
(Rosie O’Donnell’s character, slandering all Trans people.)

Which reminds me of Nathan Lane and Robin Williams and their Homophobic Hate movie, The Birdcage, where this exchange takes place between them:

Albert: Don’t use that tone to me.
Armand: What tone?
Albert: That sarcastic contemptuous tone. That means you know everything because you’re a man, and I know nothing because I’m a woman.
Armand: You’re not a woman.
Albert: Oh, you bastard!

Those sick anti-science anti-Gay anti-Trans people making Hollywood movies to spread their lies!!

That is hilariously amusing but the premise is oh so very true!

Wouldn’t it be funny if someone really did start a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to make MicroAgression- Detector goggles?

I bet thousands of snowflakes would fall for it and would really contribute.

That would be awesome.
LOL.

I love it. Whether this is satire or a real attempt to build a product the number of people who contribute and the amount of money raised is both performance art and an act of political expression.

Success has become defined around manipulating people into codependent relationships. A fashionable consensus defines success as one group adjusting their behavior to validate the emotional damage others have decided to inflict upon themselves for unending perceived slights. The instigators reside as fragments of a swarm and trade adulthood and dignity for prestige without accomplishments. The subservient parties receive effortless addictive compassion as the drug of choice. This novel moral superiority only requires fabricating disgust for themselves and for this country. Both parties then shelter within a joyous cacophony of mutually supportive orations validating the miseries of their own making.

Liberals are truly lunatics.

The national motto, “In God We Trust,”
needs to be replaced by “You Owe Me an Apology.”
