    I think it's the former which is weird, who doesn't want to feel special and unique

    by definition it's the former. but it's used in the 2nd context as a kinda satirical thing? Satirical doesn't sound like the right word, ie. "they complain about dem ess jay dubya's being snowflakes but then freak out over the 'snowflakes' criticizing htem". or something like that.


    Before this election I always heard it used to criticize helicopter parents expecting special treatment for their kids, when the kid is just a normal average kid; not special needs or anything.

    “It isn’t Richard Spencer calling the cops on me for farming while Black,” Newman wrote. “It’s nervous White women in yoga pants with ‘I’m with her’ and ‘Coexist’ stickers on their German SUVs.”
    The farmer went on to suggest that residents of the town who are interested in racial progress should consider how to effect change in their own everyday lives.
    “People are so busy going after that easy fix, going after that Confederate flag, that they’re not doing the hard thing, which is thinking, how did we get here, and how the hell do we dig out of institutional racism,” Newman wrote.

    Just had a huge debate because of the "are you privileged?" Quiz, this girl I know owned another girl who's was trying to claim "you could get out of poverty if you try hard enough, anything is possible" kind of nonsense lol it was fun. I can't do that so blatantly, crushing people's hopes and dreams is a tough thing to do.

    I mean look at this, it's a joke. They clearly didn't give a damn. I'm not saying quist is the best and most qualified candidate in the world but if you have a chance then you go for it, it's a joke.

    I don't want to speak too soon, but I may for the first time in God knows how long be able to be proud of my country for something.
     
  20. Hate to disagree with Jeet but I really don't buy that there aren't a shitton of people who think some bullshit about Russia

    "tampered with vote tallies" is different than "some bullshit about Russia" haha. Like, right now I personally don't think I would answer with a definitive "yes" for a question asked that way.

  22. That's my point. There's no evidence for literal vote tampering, but tons of people believe it. There's evidence for a lot of other shit done by Russia to help Trump or push propaganda but not vote tampering, and yet 60% of people believe it. And at the same time, there's people saying that no one has been fooled in this way, that no significant amount of people believe anything about Russia that doesn't have significant evidence for it. Well, not so much.
