Don't let the BS get to you too much FCD. Seriously, sometimes we just need to step back and go wtf???
The media is getting you down. We all let it, sometimes, but don't. Take a step back. They aren't spouting reality. I'm being completely honest here.
Just keep doing your thing.

You're not far off the mark by any stretch. I just hope us reasonable folks don't start losing our minds over it. I think there are certain powers trying to make exactly that happen. Lol. We are all living in la la land atm.

That’s why the media literally sowes hate against anyone who dosent identify as a victim. They especially hate when you refuse to be a victim and your part of a groups that’s been established by them to be victims.

Agreed. I'm very circumspect in what I say at work unless I know the person really well. There are certain employees that will go straight to management and report things people say to others. The most recent incident was completely stupid and ended with someone being written up.
All they said was, "Oh, I hate you" to their friend because they got the weekend off and were going drinking and the other person was stuck working closing. Neither person was offended, nor upset. It was a joke between people who have known each other for years as co-workers, but the person who overheard decided it was disrespectful and offensive and ran to the managers to tattle.
Now, when a manager is anywhere within earshot of the breakroom, it's dead silence. Everyone's head is buried in their phones and not talking to each other.
It's like walking a minefield these days and it wears you down trying to second guess and evaluate everything you say just in case it might, juuuust might, offend that 1 in 1000 person who's decided to raise their hackles at something innocuous.

Buried deep in the desert is a clay tablet that holds the key to society's survival.
On it are carved 5 words of such great strength and power that it has been kept hidden for millennia.
Tonight I will reveal the words that were carved upon that stone tablet.
Sucks to be you, Porkchop."

People who benefit from the status quo don't care about your whining.
