More extreme left PC idiocy....

Nomad

Every trumper is a N4T.
Yes, I know I have a long tradition here of championing the causes and agenda of the Democratic Party and the left in general. And I have argued vehemently against what I see as the intransigence of the right.

And I still feel the same. Nothing has changed.

I have, however, been known to speak out against my own side when the extremist fringe loonies have said or done things that even solid Democrats like myself find embarrassing, outrageous and beyond the pale.

A viral meme involving the outfit Bernie Sanders' wore on inauguration day has flooded the internet over the past few weeks.

It's a photo of him sitting alone in a chair bundled against the freezing cold with a puffy parka style jacket and mittens.

Apparently, Sanders has licensed the image and has used it to raise millions of dollars for various charities, including Meals On Wheels.

That's a good thing, right?

Not according to some San Francisco dipsh*t school teacher who saw it as a glaring and outrageous example of Bernie Sanders' "white privilege".

According to this dipsh*t whose name is Ingrid Seyer-Ochi, writing in a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed piece, Sanders' choice of clothing represented...

“privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege” symbolized by Sanders’s choice of a relatively casual Burton snowboarding jacket and repurposed wool mittens.

Seyer-Ochi addressed the topic with her students, who she said were also upset by what they saw as the implicit message being delivered by Sanders’s choice of outerwear.

“What did they see? They saw a white man in a puffy jacket and huge mittens, distant not only in his social distancing, but in his demeanor and attire,” Seyer-Ochi wrote, adding, “What did I see? What did I think my students should see? A wealthy, incredibly well-educated and -privileged white man, showing up for perhaps the most important ritual of the decade, in a puffy jacket and huge mittens.

“I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie.”

Fortunately, common sense still prevails amongst the populace and the Tweets in response put things back into perspective and hopefully, her in her place.

A couple of examples:

I will never embrace right-wing conservatism even though as a centrist Democrat I occasionally agree with them in principle on some issues.

But sh*t like this makes me understand why so many on the right hate the left.

This dumbass does not represent the majority of those of us on the left.

These idiots need to be roundly shouted down and not just by the right.

But by every one on the left who is concerned about our side's credibility.
 
So you know that woke cancel culture is ridiculous at best and a threat to freedom at worst.

Good. :thup:

It's almost as bad as the mindless zombie lunatic culture known as Trumpism.

Or more accurately, Trumptardation.

Another Elitist pretending to be 'Politically Correct' by denouncing an old guy for trying to stay warm at a staged Event.
Hooray for the old geezer that represents the 'Common Man'. Sanders supports $15/hr., supports 'Medicare for All', supports Planet Earth and the Environment.

Did Ingrid mention Trump, Ivanka, Jarod ... about what THEY were wearing?
 
Sanders is a multimillionaire with multiple homes.



Whataboutism.

1. Yes. Nothing wrong with having money. My guess, you get up in the morning and go to work to make money.
2. The 'Teacher' seems overly concerned about 'clothing'. She should probably be working at a Women's Magazine rather than teaching students about 'White Privilege'.

This fits right in with the renaming of the 44 schools and removing merit based application testing in San Francisco schools. We have massive inequality in the reading and math proficiencies levels between black and white students in San Francisco schools. Is this going to change that?

However I know you were making a bigger point and yes, this is a perfect example of the woke left and there are even people on the left such as yourself pushing back against it.

Prepare to be cancelled, capitalist pig.

The 'Teacher' seems overly concerned about 'clothing'. She should probably be working at a Women's Magazine rather than teaching students about 'White Privilege'.

Fun fact: she isn't teaching students. She presides over Zoom calls. Her union refuses to reopen the schools.

As someone who doesn’t hesitate to criticize my own party and all sides of the party, Including my own progressive side, I agree with your thoughts EXCEPT this isn’t about the “extreme left” or even about the left at all. This is about the thinking of this one individual, and even though she took it too far, glad to see that she is at least thinking about what is WP, and judging from the comments she’s getting back, I think she knows she took it too far.
 
The funny thing is


That same feed showed a nearly identical picture of Ted Cruze seconds before the Bernie shot

To me they both looked kinda creepy and removed from the event

Then my second thought was YEAH BUT ITS FREEZING THERE


It was a thin piece of OHLOOK AT ME from one individual

It however is part of the what we have always called awkward conversation we fucking need to have to suss out the issue



Everybody’s voice is allowed

The evil ones go in the trash immediately (the racists)


Then everyone else gets to say what they believe and feel.


right up until we reach an understanding of each other

We don’t ever have to all agree

But if we don’t have the conversation we can’t understand each other and take the right steps on the right path to solve this as a society

That is what getting WOKE is


A willingness to listen to facts and ideas on what to do in light of those facts


Making fun of getting WOKE MAKES YOU A RACIST THAT GETS HEAVED FROM THE CONVERSATION


GET THE FUCK IT RACISTS

Spot on


All our ideas will grow and change as we have the HONEST conversation about how we got here, why it is a shitbag place to stay and where do we step to next to find a much better place

I am sooo fucking ready to have these discussions as a nation

Would some blow the damn start whistle already?

I spit in the face of the black guy.
Obama was nothing more than another black failure in a government job and another black family in government housing. Stupid nigger.
If you're black and you vote democrat, then you're a "nigger". If you're white and you vote democrat, then you're "white trash". If you're Asian and you vote democrat, then you're a "zipper head". If you're Hispanic and you vote democrat, then you're a "wetback".

:thinking:

I don't think some idiot pointing out who is wearing what is considered 'woke'.

I guess she was OK with Janet Yellen wearing pretty much the exact same thing.

Janet Yellen...the former Fed Chair and new Treasury Secretary.

'White Privilege' is probably associated with 'clothing', more like pointing out the silks, the jewels, the feathers, the Peacocks wear.
