I was getting my car smogged a couple of weeks ago, and was standing out front while I waited. Some lady came along and asked me if I worked there - I smiled, said no, and got on with my life. Didn’t realize I was supposed to have a tantrum over it - live and learn.
Soon the magic word of “Racism” will lose its magic and spawn real racism—as it is now in the Black Community. We see it in the separation of the races (Black graduations. Black leaders only giving interviews to black reporters etc...) This will creep into other groups. Until the whole package falls to pieces. The only ones to prosper— The UBER RICH, and Communist China and the Drug Cartels. Some America will become Just Mexico North.
"So don't go like that."
” I was sending the nicer people who started with excuse me or pardon me or some other polite phrase to the aisles they were looking for. The obnoxious ones got sent to garden department on the other side of the store with instructions to go out the rear entrance and re enter from the rear, as this was the quickest way to the aisle they were looking for ( actually only two got sent on this route, but they were obnoxious and demanding idiots)”
One night as I manned the phones at work I received a call from an irate AH as he berated the world in general and me in particular I said “one minute sir while I forward your call.” I sent his call to the fax machine and the squealing synchronization tone. I was halfway thinking he’d call back. He didn’t.
For me, another tell that the election was stolen is that wokeness isn’t popular in the minority communities where the dead turned out to vote for Joe and the Ho. The African-American community doesn’t appear to me to be open to wokeness, and they don’t want to recognize white homosexuals as deserving special legal protections for discrimination.
Love Kurt.
The correct response for that question is: ‘Then don’t DO that!’
Ha!
That is MY reply to my wife.
I don’t hear well, and when I ask a question, all of the EXTRA words she uses to ‘explain’ a simple yes/no clutters up the brain cells and I end up repeating the same question again.
Sometimes three times!
The Values of a Post-Woke World

The fight against the ideology called Wokeness is gaining ground for the first time in a decade, if not decades. People increasingly understand what it is and why it is a terrible, inhuman, and inhumane ideology that has no place governing our societies. They also increasingly and rightly see it as a puritanical religious movement built upon a perverse faith, which they are starting to reject. They also increasingly understand it to be a takeover ideology with profound roots in totalitarian, racist, and communist thought that should not be empowered and must be fought. Certainly, we have a great deal of work still to do, especially practically, to fight this ideology and its remarkable bid to take over our society and culture, but people are waking up. Though I may look a bit far down the road in saying so, now we need somewhere to go.

How is someone asking “do you work here” being treated badly?
I get asked that and say “no but maybe I can help?”
Well, I usually address an argument by tearing it down within itself.
Indeed, the problem in this case is people disagreeing about what’s offensive. Those who find honor & success, where others find insult & objection, tend to flourish.
