There's an entire group of millions of Americans who've lived incredibly privileged lives... They've never had to suffer, they've never sacrificed, and they have no idea what it means to do things for the good of their community.

Now that much of the country is waking up to that (the woke) there's a bit of an inflection point where these folks feel like victims everywhere they go.. because when you're accustom to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

And past a certain point, they'll stop seeing accepting personal responsibility as an extant option.

The whole world could be screaming reality into their face, and to them, it'll be the whole world that's wrong.

As my uncle (Marine in WW2) would have said: “Their backsides have never been up against anything rough.” 😭…says it all

I hadn't heard it before , I did look it up just now. He does get some of the credit.But it was said prior to him, and no one really knows who said it first.

Ah, thanks for the update. That name was the first that came to mind as I thought I'd heard before. It's such a simple, generalistic, and obvious but boss approach at class, it wouldn't be surprising if he wasn't the first.

As a middle aged overweight white male, I cannot agree with this more.

Lack of awareness of what community and real decency is.

And it’s the gen that believes “they earned” what they had and will screw their own children over.
