From the linked article:

The answer is depressingly simple: massively overrepresented in media, academia, and among social influencers of every other sort, screeching “progressive” elites are driving our dialogue, sending us into a sharp left turn off the straight and narrow path.


The Left made sure that we saw a diversity of appearance, correctly calculating that we wouldn't notice the lack of diversity of opinion. Superficial diversity, because to some, the word "diversity" is more powerful than the concept it purports to represents. Etymologically speaking, "diversity" and "division" have the same origin.

Saw a leftist Karen response post complaining to a women (sorry, birthing person) to remove her wedding pictures she posted because it was offensive to those who were divorced as wedding are triggering.

My initial thought when I saw this was that "olejoedad" is reacting to some of the O/T threads that have been Closed or Trash Canned in recent days. Or reacting to the circumstance that one or more such threads has been Closed or Trash Canned.

Since that is an authentic thought that I had, when I first entered this thread, I don't think it is out of line for me to say that I just went into the Trash Can to present some relatively brief remarks, in response to what was the Last Post on that thread, before it was Trash Canned.

The Trash Can, where discussions go to "hide in plain sight."

Calm down Karen.

You are literally talking about punishing someone for what you THINK they are doing in a thread about though police. Take it down about 20% there.

Fats, have you ever had a conversation with a wall?

Neither have I.
