Kids today have it so easy. When I was their age, I had nothing but $3 in my pocket. So what did I do? I bought a house, started a family, and put remaining 75 cents into savings account for emergencies.
I'm not sure if that's sarcastic...
@@fluffynator6222 it is
IKR?!! I got a small loan of 1 million dollars from my father, then took over his billion dollars of real estate assets, and thru some very hard work, and some very stable genius became the most hated president in history. No matter how you look at it, that's alot, just by pulling up muh bootstraps.
Kids these days are so spoiled with their bullet proof backpacks and their sturdy doors. Back in my day we just got shot. And we liked it.
Where’d you get the house
To quote someone else “People today are too easily offended,”
People in the 60s: The black person swam WHERE!?”
Not really, many people in the 60s were anti racism. Humans like us. Dont misunderstand and put them all in the same catagory
@@comradeivan3903 I’m aware, the issue is many of these anti segregationists were demonised by media. There was a story someone told I can link about this public pool that was like the centre of the community closed after segregation was ended because the people owning the pool refused to open themselves to it.
@@michael.471 Yep some people were shitheads and some people will always be shitheads, they just had more influence back then.
@@comradeivan3903 sure, that's why there were no racist laws and black people weren't discriminated against
@@comradeivan3903 I think you're missing the point. The point is that there are people who get offended in any political group or generation. No one here is saying that *everyone* or *most* people were snowflakes…not OP, not Shaun. The only person who put "everyone" into the same category was Thoughty, who proclaimed that the left and/or millenials, *as a whole*, are easily offended snowflakes.
Conservatives: "These Millennials are so easily offended, it's ridiculous"
Also Conservatives: "How DARE you not wish me a Merry Christmas!"
and then radical centrists rightly shit on both, and get shat on in return because "you think you're so cool by being cynical and not caring about anything" lol
@@SaturnineXTS centrism tends towards conservatism since centrism is an attempt to maintain the status quo. If you were a centrist 60 years ago you'd have been saying that MLK was an extremist and asking why he can't just accept the way things are.
Fighting for nothing and caring about no one does not make you enlightened.
@SeraphSeph radical centrism has nothing to do with maintaining the status quo
@@SaturnineXTS Then what is it?
@@TheBeatlesShow it's a lot of things. Among others it's not being the person that calls Ana Kasparian a "nazi" because she didn't want to be called a "birthing person" or the person that says free higher education is "literally Venezuela"
"Offensive comedy is good, actually"
"Today's pop music is offensive and I hate it"
Those aren't quotes, those are paraphrases. And the second one isn't even correctly interpeted. The point of his video was that music has grown hollow and soulles, and it really only depends on if you look good or not or if you can put the right beat or catchy melody in, as opposed to messages that can be connected to on a level higher than "oh this sounds nice." Also, paraphrases are commonly used in propaganda, which is political slander. I see why people like you enjoy using them.

That mother was part of the reason he did what he did. She was an awful nasty person.

"Your generation was so offended by metal music that Dee Snyder had to testify before Congress so that they wouldn't ACTUALLY censor him and his contemporaries." -me, a student of U.S. political history
wait, really?
@@ion2347 Yes. Al Gore's then wife found 'evidence' that twister sister (Snyders band) was promoting sadomasochism. Snyder himself went to testify in front of the senate as a result. All the 'parental advisory: explcitit content' stickers on CD's were a direct result. If you want to know more Metal: a headbangers journey touches on it and there are multiple videos on youtube from the very hearing.
The To Kill a Mockingbird generation tried to get it banned from schools. Same for Catcher in the Rye. Both books aren't really ban-worthy. We read Night for the historic importance but that was probably the most brutal and inappropriate book just for the sheer brutality of recounting of a holocaust as a kid who had to basically carry his father who snapped.
Like people really trying to ban books and getting offended? Religious conservatives get offended by evolution and natural selection just existing.
Those Congressional hearings were glorious. Watching Al Gore absolutely fawn over Frank Zappa while Zappa just showed utter contempt toward the entire proceedings. Then they actually had Bob freaking Denver testifying in opposition. What's even more hilarious is Gore actually thought that it would be a career defining position to take, well probably Tipper did more precisely.

also to add on: often the ppl saying the 'younger generation' are easily offended are also easily offended by for example.. gay representation. like they'll call me a snowflake and then have a mental breakdown abt a character being queer
Rights yes. But representation where though? In media? In parliament? Because while the latter
a) there should be no legal quota for a certain gender/race lol because it automatically makes it sexist and racist to do so.
b) if it's the former, it should be the decision of the creator of said Media (comics/manga/movies etc). No one is entitled for any form of representation beyond how the creator decides it to be. There's a reason why Marvel and DC comics have fallen to the depths .
@@wake6000 How about Alabama doesn't ban cartoons for having a gay couple?
Also don't pretend like Marvel and DC have found some new low, any old comics fan knows that the current generation of comics are good in comparison to a lot of the history of release. Unless the idea of diversity prejudcially makes you think less of a comic as a baseline.
that's not being offended, it's having common sense
Two issues. One: we already have rights, as long as you're in a country like England or Japan or Canada or the United States. Two: assumption based on black-and-white thinking, just because someone doesn't want to parade rows of rainbow flags through the street, doesn't mean they want to parade rows of burning rainbow flags through the street. Besides, I feel like we get enough attention as is
@@gh0stofinf1nity11 ah yes, england, in which trans people have to wait for several years on waiting lists for affirming care, or in the us, where florida is introducing a law that students in school have to be outed to their parents if they’re lgbt, where in alabama, arizona, and texas they’re all trying to deny gender affirming healthcare (not to mention how texas is attempting to redefine child abuse to include it), and where hate groups exist in both of those countries attempting to push back against our rights. and also, screw everyone else who lives in a country where you can literally be executed or thrown in prison for being queer, i’m sure they can just casually move to Canada. we should just be quiet so that no one notices us, because that’ll totally stop all these injustices
I'm starting to not pay mind to people who basically say what equates to "stop having sensibilities."
Y'know, "stop being offended," "stop being sensitive," "stop being blahblahblah,"
But when you say something *they* don't like, *BET MONEY* those same people will not stop crying about it.
They'll campaign to the heavens about it. This happens every single time, without fail.

full communism How are they reactionary if they've been the default over much of human history? If anything, progressivism/egalitarianism (or whatever you want to call movements opposed to racism, etc) is a reaction to traditional attitudes held since antiquity.

Hmmmm... indeed.
@@TechySeven I'm not sure you get it. When someone says "I've heard this before" they typically mean they've heard it only a couple of times. When someone says "I believe" it signals that their argument is not based on what they know about the subject, but rather their limited understanding of it.
@@rosesnviolets7444 I'm fairly sure I get it just fine, although I'm not entirely sure as to whether *you* really do or not.
1) The fact that John Cleese is a popular & famous comedian & actor... combined with the fact that this was an exchange on Twitter, in which he ragged on trolls & critics... Means "I've heard this before" was, in all reasonable probability, Either: Blunt Eloquent Honesty, OR Sarcastic Flippancy (regarding the implication of Only Rarely Having' "Heard it"), OR Both.
2) As it turns out, for some reason I apparently incorrectly remembered the phrasing of the quote: As Cleese in fact had said "I think..." rather than "I believe...".
3) However, the entirety of your 2nd Point (which Could Potentially be argued regarding "I think..." just as well), seems to be Non-Sequitur to me. For one thing, Everyone Has Limits In Their Understanding, and there's literally nothing wrong with admitting that.
For another thing, in order for such a statement like "I think..." Or "I believe..." to indicate that their argument is Not based on their knowledge... That would First Require the indirect implication and/or assumption (on your part) that they're already a person who just doesn't allow knowledge to inform their beliefs or alter what they think. And that just doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless perhaps if we were referring to [most] Religious Beliefs.

One of my favorite bits of hypocrisy is when people go on about how the younger generation wants participation trophies for everything. I don't remember who said it, but someone pointed out that participation trophies weren't created for the kids. They were created for the parents who got upset that someone was implying their kid wasn't special.
daffyphack yea!! And apparently participation trophies ended actually lowering self esteem for a lot of kids, so saying they make them narcissistic is literally a lie
Personally, I would rather receive nothing than what is essentially a "loser's trophy".
I remember that all the kids in my class throughout my school years thought participation trophies were silly. Why would we want a trophy that showcases our failure?
daffyphack I heard that on After Skool. Their video on millennials could give more detail.
I highly recommend watching "Millennials Don't Exist! Adam Conover at Deep Shift" by, well Adam Conover obviously.
These labels we give to each 'generation' are, in themselves, just a way to insult the youthful part of the population....
God, kids nowadays want basic human rights. They need to grow up and deal with it.

As someone who grew up in poverty in the rural US, I absolutely despise the argument that millennials grew up in privilege. Wages have stagnated since the 70s while the cost of living continues to climb. We can't afford what previous generations could, and the post-war world is falling apart around us as older people campaign vehemently against public works.
Yeah i hate it too. Older folks have this generell idea that we progress as a species thus we must all become wealthier? While we have improved in technology living standards have dropped drastically and while they cant feel it either because they are not working anymore or because they have accumulated so much wealth that they cant see the reality and think that „its normal to have a house at 30“. It’s absolutely absurd and it only gets worse for every generation coming
I left the US, I know it's all a bunch of bs. I came up in a similar situation. I'm sorry you're surrounded by ignorant mouth breathers that don't know their own history.
I never bought into the snowflake thing. Millennials (like me) got stereotyped and get hate for acting like we are "so special" (meaning teenagers/young adults expressing their personalities and talking transparently about the flaws of how they were raised, eg. this is not the world we were being prepared for) while now gen Z is being criticised for calling people out and being perceived all-around more assertive than millennials. I think they had more time to embrace the change so instead of being confused, they are downright pissed, and want to make their own world instead. And I can see why. Millennials were a generation on the boundary (economically and technologically) and gen Z already was born into the new "era". In perspective it all makes sense and I hate this so-called "feud" between these two generations. We should be fighting for the same thing, for the world to be livable (and I think fundamentally we are).
The whole snowflake thing is hilarious because most of those "you're special just the way you are" PSAs were made in the 70s and 80s
I agree, I think grouping everyone into one gen and saying everyone in that gen is that way is hyper dumb.
I am a millenial and I am so greatful for Gen Z. We got nothing done and thankfully Gen Z takes on some fights.

Turns out, the leaders stole the money, bought 4 houses, it's barely spoken about in the media and no-one knows where any of the millions of dollars have gone or who it has benefitted. More black Americans are dying than there has been for years due to terrible democrat policies and the unwillingness to acknowledge the black on black gun violence crisis while an entirely false narrative is made about the police. From the way BLM speak it sounds like hundreds or thousands of unarmed blacks are hunted by the police when in reality, that number was 9 in 2018. Turns out when you actually look at the individual cases, most were resolved in court as justified, a number were killed by black police officers and only one could be argued as bad faith.

It's probably a bad term to describe our generation, it is more fitting to call it the frustrated generation, with Societal issues being exposed to a wider audience people are obviously gonna get riled up and become a bit gloomy, which is an understatement.

That is true. Especially now with faster news cycles and social media, younger children today are seeing how fucked up the world can be and are having a growing desire to actually step up and fix things.
Yes the generation that was offended by women working really are the best generation.
They were scared of black people living in the same neighborhood as them too lol.
Ong plus they'd get mad when women wore pants lmao.
That's just because of the different mentality, people didn't see black people nor women as equals. We now recognise that all humans deserve equal dignity and go around getting offended in the place of other people. Now that's truly ridiculous

George Carlin put it well. The boomers were given EVERYTHING…sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. And they enjoyed it all. And once they approached middle-age burnout, they turned self-righteous by telling the younger generations to "just say no" to all the things that were handed to them on a silver platter. But they are still the "me" generation to this day. All the "you millennial narcissists" this and "you young deviants" that…but how do they react when we call them "boomers"?
I love how when people call millennials snowflakes they not only overuse the term but usually refer to the same couple groups of people that annoy them but have little to no effect on their personal lives. They just wanna feel persecuted and be in the minority and feel like they have to take back something they never even truly lost. It’s why I cringe at hearing “The War on Christmas” or “Marriage is Under Attack”.
I personally go out of my way to attack every Santa Claus and married couple I see.
That's true. Right-wing Christians are trying really hard right now to make themselves look like an under-attack minority.

Irregardless of the political justification, that doesn't make them snowflakes. Conservatives are uniformists, quite the opposite of snowflakes...
I'm pretty sure you can be socially conservative and a massive whinger at the same time.
I honestly think this is a result of misinformation about the term. Initially "snowflake" was used to describe a person considering themselves special and unique, regardless of whether they felt offended about anything or not. Implication here is that uniqueness is a vice and conformity is to be sought. In that sense it makes sense right-leaning people would use it since their politics are collectivist.
But then UA-cam anti-SJWs took the term but since they want to pretend they value individualism and pluralism, they can't use it in its intended meaning and not reveal their hand, but they needed to use it as a dog-whistle to appeal to their right-leaning audience. Some of them didn't even understand the intended meaning of the term, projected their own political ideas on their right-leaning fans and just assumed it has something to do with being offended, they saw their fans using it so they started using it themselves. I think Sargon of Akkad is a perfect example of this because the man's political ideas are perfectly malleable depending on what his fans believe.
Never heard an old person call anyone a snowflake. It's a youtube thing, your comment is silly.

And who raised this generation of "snowflakes"? Who gave them participation trophies?
Boomers.
I want to point out that I'm a millennial and have never even seen a participation trophy in my life, so that outrage is at best heavily sensationalised. The closest I've seen to a participation trophy is the general message that participating is more important than winning, which is just true and a healthy mindset. Even if you're dead set on winning, you can't do that without participating, so participation is just objectively more important. Even if you don't win, continual participation brings you closer to winning the next time. It's genuinely just good advice.
And yes, I'm aware this was an obnoxiously big wall of text in response to a quick snide comment.
@@GormathiusI’ve never had a participation _trophy,_ but plenty of participation rosettes/ribbons in my primary school years.

I think it's eerie how generations are just a cycle of presuming to know better than the ones who came before and after us. It's like we're stuck in this mindset. Creepy.
Especially because I do that to Gen Alpha without thinking about it a lot of times, even though they're literally still kids and (mostly) haven't developed a coherent worldview or personality yet. Considering how millenials and fellow Gen Z have been molding themselves, I don't see why Gen Alpha won't go the extra mile when they grow up.

Oh wait...
At work a guy, in his 60s or 70s, decided that he was going to start talking to me about how white people are becoming the minority as I was checking him out bc he noticed "there are a lot of Hispanics in the back." Which isnt unsurprising because the restaurant I work at is a family run business, which just so happens to be a Hispanic family. He kept pushing the conversation and I was uncomfortable because he was trying to pretty much tell me that its "not right" and that it "Isn't like that in ohio" and I told him that I was uncomfortable and gave him his total so he could get out of there as fast as possible. And he scoffed at me and told me to take my tip and shove it up my ass, despite the fact that as a cashier, I don't get tips. We're not snowflakes until we don't support shitty views.
My sister's working at a fast food company right now, and the bosses got more mad about her trying to clock out a minute early than they did when a white employee said the n word. So, yeah, we're totally living in an Orwellian nightmare where free speech is a thing of the past.

From the creators of "GamerGate", "Star Wars is SJW propaganda" and "Political Correctess ruins comedy" comes "Snowflake generation"
...You know, always focusing on the issues that matter.
The lack of self awareness is legendary level with these people. And I have sat through a lot of their videos to actually give them the benefit of doubt but it was clear that most of them are or have become insincere hacks
Some of the “SJW Star Wars” videos legitimately give me a migraine. I don’t even like to identify with either side but holy shit
A lot of the criticism is actually correct. The same goes even to comics.
You're an idiot if you think there's no problem.
chars_ 78 2 things:
1.- My overall point is that the subtext of a Star Wars film is not as important on the grand scheme of things as they make it out to be.
2.- There is a huge difference between good criticism and bad criticism, Art is subjective, it has some objective aspects that can be criticised but a lot of the criticism is subjective to the perspective of the viewer, and when you see SJW propaganda in everything, you will find SJW propaganda in everything, and it will hinder your ability to enjoy art.
2 things:
1. Most of the characters aren't written anywhere as close to be deemed passable.
2. A lot of "art" is basically about themes that are already pre-defined.Yes it can be subjective, but that is if its original. Taking something and destroying the very core of its creation is not art, its shit.
For eg, if we take the recent controversy involving BF V, then its basically people criticizing Bethesda for not being historically accurate (I mean, a disabled woman on the combat lines, TF?!) And also for being rude to the fans.
And also since I had brought up comics, I'll explain that as well, since it's brings everything back full circle.
The main thing going on rn is that a lot of comic pros are acting rude to the fans and customers by pushing what I call forced diversity. They make shitty new characters to replace the good characters, write them stereotypically to their race, draw them like doodles on the back of a notebook,write them like 12 year olds, and make them like the rabid sjws everyone hates. They also do this thing where they try doing social commentary, but obviously, end up failing miserably at since they spew lots of misinformation about the people they dislike. And because of that, the fans start criticizing them for their terrible work. What these pros do is they end up not listening to this criticism, misquote them and then label them as nazis,bigots and use every other buzz word they know. They also don't allow their competitors to publish their own stuff and sell them at stores because of some inferiority complex.
This is a vicious cycle that spreading towards other forms of media, and that increases these unnecessary jibes by sjws at the SWM population.
This has affected every kind of art form i can think of, so no, my ability to enjoy art has not been hindered.

I remember seeing this video years ago, and maybe I was 13 or 14 (or even younger), but even I could easily see the flaws in thoughty two’s argument. I remember feeling betrayed and didn’t really watch him from that point forward.
Edit: holy shit I found the comment I put on the original video 4 years ago, so I was in fact either 13 or 14. Here’s what child me said:
*“I think the case with political correctness is that the loudest speakers are those who don’t really face too many prejudices in their day to day lives. This leads to misinterpretation of the actual goals of activists, as there are all these “feminazis” taking up the spotlight. People who face prejudice daily often have the quietest voices, and are fighting for things like reproductive rights, rights for the disabled, homeless and stigmatised, environmental awareness and reducing the stigma on mental illness. They fight for these things because they affect their quality of life. Real activists don’t care about whether Santa is gender neutral or if you hold open the door for a woman, and yet the media equates these selfless people to over entitled obese women with blue hair screaming about male privilege in the streets. The ones who make an issue out of nothing are the ones who face the least struggle in their daily lives.”*
Maybe I wouldn’t stand by 100% of the opinions in that comment today (there’s a lil bit of ‘no true Scotsman’ and ‘not like other girls’ in there) but 13 year old me? Based? Who would have thunk it.
both sides suck here. They are both using multiple tactics to gain the viewer's votes. looking at this comment section there are people cheering on this youtuber while on Thoughty2's channel there are his viewer's supporting him.
In my opinion, I do believe that this recent generation should be considered the 'snowflake' generation as you can see millions of children roaming around the internet waiting to cancel the next big streamer they don't like.

Edit. One thing I would add to the video is that Internet changed things. The media worked differently in the late XX century, and I am old enough to remember that. I know, that it will sound privileged, but the majority of the people did not even think about any political or social issues prior to the Age of Internet. That is why we see more "outrage" now. It is not that there was no outrage or rants or cringy behavior before, we just weren't seeing it. Internet and the new media forced us to become different. Every comment, every tweet is political. We are showing who we consider "our tribe" even via something as innocuous as a youtube comment.

Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovosky Are you lost, little boy? The Quartering’s UA-cam channel is over in *that* corner.
I think, throughout all of time, the amount of people "getting offended by everything" was relatively the same. The only reason as to why people think there are Nore "snowflakes" is that now everyone have a platform to speak in, be it Twitter, UA-cam, TikTok, etc. Before, words spread around through mouth and took longer to reach others, and now, it only takes opening Twitter to find someone rant, either a child, teenager, adult or elderly people, too, because, let's be honest, we've seen aaall kinds of people getting offended by anything, not just young people.
I think you're close but not quite there. The real difference is that now there are social media sites that you can go to for posts to screenshot and compile in a list to "prove" how easily offended everyone is. Before social media if someone made a point about racism or sexism somewhat poorly, or maybe overreacted a bit it wouldn't really matter in the long run because it'd be forgotten but now it's saved for all eternity and can be taken out of context to easily construct a narrative. At the same time before social media you didn't have any kind of access to the kinds of private rants people made about politics and discrimination, marginalized people still talked among themselves about their frustrations with their oppressors and made jokes about it, and people still had personal discussions about politics based on their ideas where they might show frustration with an institution or politician. But now you do have access and since these things were just intended as private they are basically never written in a way to make sense to an outside audience and as such will never really sound good. But you can still add them to your growing list of "proofs" that everyone is too easily offended and then sit around with your like minded friends and feel smugly superior about how you aren't easily offended like those snowflakes.
UA-cam had just started recommending Thought2 vids and I had been enjoying then I came across this one. That he can write about things objectively to speak so rhetorically and 'left targeting' was wild! His arguments weren't honest. You called it out well, the hypocrisy.

Free speech takes a lot of responsibility; so if you're going to just spout hate speech, then don't get offended that we're boycotting it, because it's not even worth it to listen to your BS. It's like "weeding out" spam mail!
Criticism isn't censorship but it's a problem when extreme vocal criticism from certain groups incites censorship from other bodies
The only difference in this generation is social media and everyone having a voice. That’s it.

@artur niemiec Exactly. There’s a lot more to it, but that is definitely one of the biggest negative issues with social media.
@@Steef_Lee It's required a shit lot of self-discipline and knowledge to not being talking head for someone else.
@artur niemiec I absolutely agree. I’m interested to know if we’re talking about the same thing. I agree with both of your replies, but I’m just not sure if they are relevant to my point and I think that’s probably my fault for not being more specific. I’m simply saying that more so than not all of the generations have been very similar, except now with social media everyone gets to be heard. The create these groups, echo chambers, of likeminded people and share their opinions and beliefs with the whole world. So now we all know how everyone feels and they are emboldened by these online communities connecting them and giving them a voice.
@@arturniemiec7560 That's because they are designed to keep you hooked on the platform so they can keep harvesting your data and sending you ad revenue. The Echo chamber nature of Social Media was engineered for profit.
war on christmas outrage proves millennials arent the snowflakes. when you can claim to be persecuted while being the dominant religion, you might be a snowflake
The fact that mr t2 thinks poverty just stopped existing in the year 2000 is comedy gold
LIBERAL SKULLHEAD CALMLY DISMANTLES WHITE FLANNEL-TARD, 24 MINUTE (EPIC) COMPILATION
Ok, now THIS is EPIC!
Clearly this video needs more air horns before we can rename it.
I absolutely love this
Mantis Toboggan I'm what most of you would consider alt-right but I still love this meme
El Aquapimp, That's true. That is basically because left-wing concepts are way too sophisticated and subtle to be explained in one sentence or fit on a meme.
While primitive right-wing buzzwords and catchphrases that don't mean anything are beloved by simpletons, memes and 3 minute long UA-cam videos for the lowest common denominator are a perfect medium for them.
People get way too offended by people being offended.
When those people are trying to gaslight you and have more power and influence than you, it behoves you to wake up and smell the coffee.
Syrup Sandwiches making a scene outta not making a scene basically. That's what they do lol
How DARE other people have consideration for the feelings of others? THESE WHINEY LIBERALS. They need to be emotionally abused and repress all feelings like we did!
"What The!?" You being offended by people being offended offends me...xD
and now people are getting offended by the people getting offended by the people being offended. Bout time we got an counterculture for antisjws. When will a couter culture for the counter culture for the counter culture for the counter culture arise? Because I'm starting to get sick of these anti-anti-sjws.
Thoughty2 is just that kid in high school who has terrible grades, but thinks of himself as very knowledgeable and intelligent because he browses reddit. Except he never grew out of it.
I think the internet might have just amplified everything, from our perception of the frequency of events occurring to our perception of how popular any one concept is among the general population.
I'm not allowed to advocate for the rights of people I've never even met? Does that mean anti sjws will stop complaining about people they've never met?
@Artair How is being an SJW not a good thing?
Dash well, for starters, you get so worked up about stuff that you respond to an 8 month old comment to own its poster under the hope that they don’t check old comments on old videos. So being anti-SJW is all very cool, very healthy stuff.
thank you simone says
@@jupiter5128 google "trigglypuff", then tell me that that is a person to aspire to
@@DarkWandererAU google "Elliot Rodger" and tell me that that is a person aspire to
I can play this dumb game too
When I heard "they've known no poverty or war" I laughed so hard it cracked the moon. Funny how millennials constantly have to defend their stressed out behavior to the ones who ruined the economy!
It's the generational equivalent of "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!"
I mean most people that are easily offended don't really know struggles. For example, the feminist, they complained about a man spreading his legs and one feminist even complained about air conditioning being sexist. Instead of better issues like womens rights in underdeveloped countries. I get this is not all feminist, but it's still there.
Voornaz it (“stupid feminism”) is there, and it’s loud because the news decided to cover it for some reason (maybe to get views?) instead of covering those actual feminists that attack misogyny in less developed countries. Using idiots as evidence against feminism is nothing but a straw man. All sectors of society, including feminists themselves, recognize that AC is not sexist and that man spreading isn’t offensive (unless you’re just generally being a dick and using your whole body and your arms to somehow take up the space of two train seats)
@@oceanusprocellarum6853 yes the feminist that help the less developed countries nice, but most I see are stupid
Joe Average coming from a woman I can tell you first hand you get what you work for. Never once had a lower salary than a man had a few sexist individuals but I'm not going to categorise a whole gender or society as sexist because of the actions of some. In my opinion the gender pay gap does not exist anymore. Male footballers get more pay as that is more popular for people to watch, female models get more pay because they are more popular. Overall there are more males in science than women so on a whole yes they get paid more but individually they are paid the same. Anyone can do whatever job they want in this country it is your choice. I can't stand it when people constantly whine about how hard their life is when they've probably had it better than the majority of the world. (Sorry for the rant but this really pisses me off)
Throughout my entire life, I've always seen right wingers get more kneejerky and offended than the left ever was. They get upset over transpeople taking part in sports.. Its pathetic.
It's not that they're offended.
Clearly they are physical differences between people who are born male and people who are born female, which give transgender women an advantage when competing with cisgender women.
Trans people who transitioned later in life, have a huge advantage because their physiques are stronger and trans woman have been breaking woman's sports records.
@@TrainerGoldAlt Yes.
Because you cannot ignore the biological reality of sexual dimorphism.
But... criticism IS part of freedom of speech!
Remember when all those kids in the French revolution and the revolutions of the 19th century were so triggered and offended by aristocrats that they created the modern liberal democracy? Those kids were so entitled
total snowflakes, probably cucks too
The difference is huge. Those people was dying hungry . All structure was fucked. ''Woke rebels'' [heh] lives in reality that is the most safe and non-oppressive society in history. Only reason they against state is cuz after college they must go to work and with shit profession [i.e.gender study] you can't do much. So if they destroy everything in new world they maybe will find happyness.
@BitterOrange I'm pretty sure you're talking in good faith and there's a lot of problems in today's America. But..If we talking about relations between state and citizen there is something what I believe you should admit. Capitalistic Gov. in public view is hire by Nation. No matter how naive that sounds, nation is employer.Today a lot of young people are convinced that left wing non-capitalistic gov. will much more justice. I've seen that 'justice' from close.
I was born in august 81',in december government decide to run country with military fist over people's heads, because some ship-yard workers was trying to registered (independ from gov.) workers union. For next 3 years we had tanks on street ,curfew and shit lot of peoples landed in jail for i.e. being reported to listen western radio. Some vanished.
Socialistic economy was falling anyway ,cuz couldn't react fast enough to markets deficits.In effect whole 80's you was happy if you could buy anything to eat or you had farmers in family. By the law it was illegal to trade food by farmers ,but family it's other story.All my childhood [80's] was very struggle for my parents to provide basic things. Money was worthless. Private business was so restricted that wasn't much profit from them,similar to blue collar workers. That destroy nation as society, If you wasn't smuggling , cheating on taxes , stealing national property you probably was co-op of brutal secret service or member of local government . Morality was so split from the reality that seems surreal for citizens.
Today young people are so fascinated with socialism that it's difficult to understand what they know about it in real. I'm very worry if they know what they asking for .If they wants social justice for everyone ,that means they ok to give back family house for 2 rooms flat. In their house now will live 3 other families ,2 rooms each. THAT IS SOCIALISM. I'm not exaggerated ! I've been living in such a country. Oranges was present only at christmas , other not European fruits I've seen on pictures ,therefore I ate my first banana in 1990 or 91.
If we talking about Polish LGBTQ movement [not minority] they are the biggest pain in the ass for homo/trans people. I've got few friends which are homo ,and they seriously talking about them as enemies at least. I f we talking about state ,they has all rights and security of legal system than all EU countries.
@BitterOrange I forget to ask ,you mentioned about that we're working more hours than ppl back in the day. Compare to when and where?
@Maarten The core of that movement is simple marxists , but what scares me much more ,there is shit lot of sattelites around them. Ppl without basic knowledge of history , social relations or even age to get some ''life wisdom''. 3/4 of them are the victims of SM and propaganda served 24/7 in echo chambers. Sheeps , ''useful idiots''.
So a white dude thinking he's bold and clever by taking a stand against the tyranny of PC culture? Wow, how original, unique, and edgy this Thoughty fellow is!
I honestly feel like the guy just makes clickbait videos for views.
William, your comment proves his point. How dare he make it, he's white!!!
So a black chick thinking she's bold and clever by taking a stand against the tyranny of Trump? Wow, how original, unique, and edgy this fellow is!
What does his skin hue have to do with anything?
Usually he makes good videos but that one is something he should have never made or should have put more research into
You know, one thing I don’t think gets accounted for is how “transparent” opinions are now. If you’re on social media and voice an opinion, you are now essentially willingly allowing that opinion to become scrutinized by the public sphere.
Imagine if boomers had social media in the 50s and 60s?
There'd probably be a lot of tweets talking about McCarthyism, how annoyed everybody is about African Americans wanting to get rid of segregation, and rants about the then current episodes of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone.
If being a "snowflake" means being sensitive to the inequalities that some people go through and giving a shit about making the world a better place for all kinds of people then I would love to be called that, because that's what I'm always trying to be and I would never be ashamed of being associated with that kind of approach in life. I'm also going to teach my children that it's better to be called a snowflake than become a shitty human being.
I've always loved how we're labelled as the snowflake generation but we're also blamed for increased crime rates and the rise of the alt right it's almost like older people have no idea what they're saying about us.
it aint something new. The Fifth Estate wrote a song about that in sixties with that exact word for lyrics called Lost Generation.
I think the logic works like this: If kids these days weren't so afraid to use slurs against marginalized communities, they'd spend their time doing that instead of burning down orphanages. Idle hands are the Devil's workshop.
I'm terrified for when I become old and start saying this about the younger generation.
Not to forget how we are killing businesses by not spending money, which we don't have, at causual dining franchises and bigbox electronic stores.
Getting yelled at for being a snowflake by someone offended by Starbucks having Christmas cups that were insufficiently Christian is fun, too
Wait, the reptilian-thing is a real thing, that people believe in? I always thought that was a parody of conspiracy theories!
ZiggyWSB Nope is real thing people believe in
Lara Gallahue like the jews being aliens as such.
The thing with parodies of conspiracy theories is they often get picked up by actual conspiracy theorists who go on to parrot them unironically.
*"THEY'RE TURNING THE FROGS GAY"*
Nope. Believe or not there are actual crazy people who believe it. David Icke is one of them.
