Being Offended

I'm seeing more and more stuff like this article. It seems like the silent majority is slowly realizing that the whole SJW construct is hollow.

This is basically why I voted for Trump.
Because him being President was going to blow up the entire culture of being offended.

Ben Shapiro's catch phrase is all you need: "Facts don't care about your feelings".

I agree, do me a favor and post this on the MSB for the clowns who cry about players not standing for the anthem

This 3-minute YouTube video will change your mind about getting offended: LINK. And if it doesn't, then I'm offended by that.

Being offended is subjective. A Neo-Nazi is offended when someone opens up a Jewish Deli on his street. I do get offended by things, but that person should have the right to say things that offend me. If you don't get offended by things, then you're simply a blank slate with no personality. It is just when you try to silence others who offend you is when I really get in your face over it. As much as I despise men like Richard Spencer, even they shouldn't be silenced so long as they aren't trying to very directly incite violence.

Being offended is natural and human. It should not be a tool to prove a point by discounting the facts. It especially shouldn't be used to guide a country where the majority of the country has to suffer for the benefit of the minority who is offended.
Like my father always said: life's not fair, grow the Frick up.

You should expand your social circle beyond liberals.

Time to return to the old standard: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Obviously, everyone gets offended. The problem arises when getting offended emotionally cripples you making you incapable of rational thought. That is where some are at today and they make sure everyone knows.

It's funny you said that because I was coming to post this short clip. This guy nails it and I say the exact same thing to people when discussing the social narrative today. "You're offended? So what? What now?"

Ten years ago the phrase " you have no right to not be offended" was repeated on this board and through the broader society constantly. And now that self- evident wisdom is completely foreign to millions of young Progs, pillaging through our societal values like they are getting paid overtime.

Sorry you wont be offended if i say you probably should have had a better education because voting for that reason is beyond retarded.
