The party of scolders would like a word... [1]

Usual disclaimer, I’m not addressing anyone but those guilty of the actions I reference.

You know I’m starting to think the run of the mill US citizen was not as ready to evolve as we hoped. Maybe, I’ve just started noticing it more, but the “Democrats are scolders” ” “Democrats think being educated puts them above people’, rhetoric seems to be cropping up all over the shows I watch.

On Scolding:

Now let me tell you, it takes some kinda gall, as a person who is not a member of a marginalized or minority group to say we are the party of scolders, because said marginalized and minority groups have had enough of passive aggressive, micro aggression BS. Because most of these commentators, news anchors and whatever’s, are not the ones having to go through life being treated like this, so it’s really grand of them to excuse those doing it and to agree with them. Hope those horses you’re riding dump your asses in your own BS.

Let me ask you this; Do you let your boss or employees speak to you in any way? Those little jabs from your coworkers, sabotaging you, undermining your work, do you simply shrug and let it go? Why is it that when it comes to minding language for racial and discrimination it’s no longer wrong but “scolding?”. Do you let your children repeat offensive things or set them straight? Do you let your friends spread lies and gossip about you unchecked?

Hell, y’all can’t even stand to be called racist for 5 minutes, but expect others to shrug of decades, centuries of your patronizing, condescending, dehumanizing words and deal with it?

On Education:

When you start criticizing or talking about education as if it was some sort of affliction or undesirable quality, you have really gone to wonderland. The funniest thing about this, is that those are the same goddam people bemoaning the death of the department of education.

Are you serious? Are you seriously bashing educated folks because they are educated? Telling them to take the buffoon as an example of how to talk to “the working class”? Are you freaking kidding me? Have you actually listened and seen the way they talk about the working class on the right? The way they talk about women? Marginalized and minority groups?

So you want us to mock the disabled? Insult women? Denigrate Black women? Dehumanize the LGBTQIA community? This is what we should imitate? GTFOOH!

I just know someone is going to comment about “talking down” to others, no we do not talk down to others, we speak to them as if they were grown ass adults with functioning brains, common sense and self-preservation instincts.

Culture wars? Identity Politics?

See that’s where you err, this isn’t a culture war, we’re not fighting against culture, unless your culture is to be a douche bag. This is not identity Politics, again unless your identity is as an ahole. We want equal rights, this is not a culture war, that you’d think so is revealing. We are demanding that all be treated with respect and dignity, in the workplace, at school, etc… We are fighting for civil rights, not culture wars, not identity politics… but rights… Like the right for you to be an ahole and my right to clap back.

In your own houses be as vile as you wannabe. On social media? At work? In public? Have at it, but don’t blame us if your boss fires your ass cause they discover you’re an ass.

Conclusion

Y’all (those of you spouting this nonsense) need to take a good hard look at yourselves and ask yourselves what the eff you’re on about and how you can get off that hypocrite fence you’re sitting on. I mean really, the gall of it all!

Until you can stand being called racist, sexist, bigots, homophobic, transphobic, anti-Semitic, for a couple of decades you need to take several steps back with your BS. Cause while you might have the gall, you surely ain’t got the balls.
