I am apparently a privileged a**hole because I don't want to get involved in any of this

I've been saying for a very long time

I didn't want to pick a side. I had a side picked for me.

You don't get much more integrated than the way i grew up and the circle i ran with

Ironically virtue signaling is probably the ultimate sign of privilege, especially on social media. They should go to a food bank or a homeless shelter and do it. Then it becomes "helping others."

People like you who are genuinely good people and who just quietly pay taxes, do the right thing, and happened to vote Trump in November without all the hoopla and #MAGA absolutely rankle the leftists more than anything else.

Some of the best FB melts I saw from black friends of friends and angry SJW's were directed at the "silent majority" - the type who wouldn't even use the phrase "silent majority" themselves because they're aware of the negative connotations.

Your silence is glorious and I love you for it, Patriot. It takes all types to successfully troll and antagonize the left.

Just ignore it. It's a shaming tactic used to recruit allies.

Even if they can't get you to march in the streets and post rants on social media, it's just as helpful to them if they make you too afraid to criticize them.

Well, I'm not privy to your feed, so maybe there's other factors that might lead people to conclude you're an arsehole. ;)

First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

why is this surprising?

for as long as any of us have been alive, this is the liberal mindset

It is void of logic and reasoning. It is visceral. emotional outrage, it always has been. It is the defining core of what separates us from them. It's not ethnicity, it's not the color of the skin, its the logical vs the illogical

for them, the most effective way to communicate is to yell, is to scream, is to spout mindless emotional context at the top of their lungs.

Because that's what works on them, that is how they communicate with each other, with loud voluminous rhetoric. Again and again, they mistakenly assume that's what's going to be the most effective way to communicate

Because of their leftist mental deficiency, they can never understand why this is so off-putting, to the rest of the rational world

I was camping all weekend until yesterday afternoon . Just getting caught up on this.

Looks like losers fighting losers.
