Saw a rage bait vid on ig…
It stated that the european caucasian west has power over and exploited other non european people and countries…and that for the good of humanity the non europeans must take power back from the european west.
Tldr…
Reaction..is ….the answer to evil isnt more evil.
Tbh the non-europeans weren’t as powerful and lost the conflict. That’s kinda how the human species is. Not promoting racism or similar, but what our ancestors won they won for a reason, and we don’t like in the 1800s anymore…
One case is Indigenous Australians down here. What colonizing British people did to them was TERRIBLE, but that’s not something anybody WANTS to do now, and when the British colonized Australia they brought a lot of advancements with them. The Aboriginals hadn’t even invented a wheel yet… Not to mention that they complain about not getting anything from us when they choose to avoid basic needs like housing…
I absolutely don’t have a problem with the general Indigenous populous, I know plenty of really nice aboriginal people, but it’s these sort of things that beg me to ask WHY???
I’m really just sick of this whole racism/gender/left-right fighting thing
I don’t give a shit if you’re black, white, or purple - shut up, get a job, and be good to your mother. In this day and age there’s no reason for anybody to feel racially motivated - if you’re a unwashed lazy slob (in absolute) I won’t respect you, that simple.
Ragebait is just a slack fucking term to describe being a dickhead, and it pmo.

Hey wait, what if she’s a bitch? 
Mine isn’t, but I know a few people who could genuinely say that
That’s true. My “dad” is the main problem in my close family. He’s a:
- Fat
- Lazy
- Hypocritical
- Right-Wing
- Homophobic
- Racist
- Grumpy
- Cracker
My parents in general really suck. Like, I can’t even describe how bad they are. It took me about 4 years of dropping subtle suicidal hints before I broke down and my mum finally realized I needed help. I’m a B average student (4.73 / 5 GPA) and they say I’m going to struggle in life. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 
My mum’s not so bad, but I don’t think anybody here would appreciate my parents. Maybe @bfk & my mother for… reasons.
Im sick of it too.
Unfortunately
Hate and fear will rule some people hearts forever and theres nothing or noone that can change that.
Dont disown your parents….have a heart to heart with them….they have their reasons for doing things…
But if they are like frank gallagher from the us version of shameless…then idk.
Being right wing or left wing isnt bad in of itself…its bad people that make being right or left bad.
******Take my words with a grain of salt.
Kinda hard not to when all of the heart to hearts are one-sided in their favour…
I’ve tried, but it never works. I’m really sick of them, to be honest. I just want parents that can just let me do my thing. Fuck, I’m old enough to drive and fuck and they still try and restrict my access to the internet. (Doesn’t work, I know the wifi password.) I try to ask them to speak to me a bit nicer instead of barking orders at me and they just say “We’re adults, you’re not. Deal with it.“ No wonder my mental problems never go away.

YMMV but that shit gets a lot better once you move out, for pretty obvious reasons. I was a very late bloomer in this category (save for a few moments, but I always ended up living with them again) and we fought constantly the whole time. 8 years later, they’re like friends to me

I like hot better than cold =^)
But not heat wave level hot. I can tolerate more hot but barely any cold

This is basically true for the majority of people yes.
As for the complaint of older people disregarding the opinions of the young because they are young… do you think it’s possible that the Olders question the opinions of EVERYONE no matter the age, because they have been misled by people of all ages for twice the years the younger have been alive (skepticism =/= ageism, i mean) and they no longer believe anything or anyone? Because that’s where I’m at.
Also, it is probably biologically related as well. The human brain does not fully structurally develop until mid-twenties, and for functional development not till way into the mid-thirties, or even after. Not being fully developed does not mean the younger doesn’t know things, but it is a fact to consider. Some brains fully develop by 10 years old. Crazy. It depends on the individual, and that’s precisely it is not exactly wise or prudent to immediately disregard the voices of the yoots. I am only trying to give insight as to why older adults will occasionally (again: unwisely) brush off the younger adults without exploring deeper context. Some people in their 20s are way ahead of me in some things that I am still spending time and energy to grasp. And sometimes it’s the other way around.
I just turned 40. I am not even sure if my brain is fully functionally developed, because I’m smart in some cases but I’m also a total nitwit in others. I am exploring the new concept that I may be neurodivergent in certain aspects (how my brain processes what I hear, for one).
The phrase “out of touch” is a problematic one too. But that’s a discussion for another day.
I do agree with @Vlantis from a pop culture standpoint on this for sure. I wouldn’t know the name Sydney Sweeney if she wasn’t… so talented. Such a talented young lady…. Yeah, that’s why I know 
I digress…
Oh, and you know what? Youngers disregard the experience of Olders all the time. I think the problem here is just people disregarding other people, and then seeking for themselves an explanation their counterpart, be they younger or older, might not know shit about shit. It’s a two way street. “Sure Boomer what do you know? you’re old.” This happens so much that we ('MERICA!) even had to make a law where it’s a federal crime to discriminate people for their age in the workplace. HEY MAN, WHEN WILL IT END??? (never)
That said… I can think of a few decrepit motherfuckers…in positions of power right now that are way too fucking old to be making sweeping decisions…
oh yeah and they’re also pedophiles yay
I think it’s likely that by a certain age you’re capable of forming your own opinions without input from other people (and maybe you’re right that we do that because we’ve been fed a load of shit forever). At some point your sum life experience is enough that what you’ve seen and where you’ve been means you can draw your own conclusions about how the world works and how you’d like it to be.
That’s maybe not a good thing in a lot of cases, mostly because people are lazy and the opinions they form are often not based in any sort of fact, or solely benefit themselves, or arise from things like one-sided news and the whatever echo chamber they’ve locked themselves in. But I think by 40 or 50 you’ve sort of accreted into a basic “this is how I see the world” and it doesn’t tend to change wildly for most people.
I find the problem of the opinion of youth is that is lacks context and nuance and those are the important parts of forming a coherent viewpoint. Literally everything is “it depends”, and until you’ve lived and done stuff and watched people at their best and worst, you don’t have that larger context that resonates with the people that have been around and seen it.
But on balance, we’ve all been there. I definitely remember being 18 and thinking I had things figured out (at least in my little corner) and the frustration of wondering why these dumbfuck adults can’t just listen to my sage wisdom. It’s a fact of life, part of growing up and learning who you are and how the world works. I do think it’s a disservice to discount the opinion of young people out of hand, but it also doesn’t mean I have to agree with them when they say silly things that don’t match reality.

This is one of my favorite books, to this day, which I read when I was about 21/22 and a few times after. I truly try to not take anything anyone says as absolute truth… and I do realize that phrase is a blatant paradox. like I try to not believe people. Not that I don’t trust them, but I don’t even believe myself half the time. Once something is set in stone or implemented as “truth”, it starts to be more difficult to change your mindset the more you live on believing that thing, whether it’s the existence of magical bearded man in the sky or that your mom was a virgin before she met your dad. Anyway, On Bullshit is very relevant for the modern day… For so so so SO many reasons.
Edit: This doesn’t mean I walk around thinking everyone and everything is full of shit. I just mean that often, maybe almost always, people are not 100% correct/truthful (or maybe just not explaining something correctly even though they know/understand it), it’s usually unintentional, people have an agenda even if it’s pure and innocent and the way the “truth” is communicated gets more and convoluted. It really comes down to communication, or words – how we use them and how we hear them.

He wasn’t doing it for clout. My first interaction with him a few years back went like this. We were working on a machine, I was on one side waiting for him to rotate the machine when I heard him ask “you see something you like”, I looked at him like huh? He than said “you see something pretty”. I work in Maintenance so we can get a little heated but that shit was just weird. He tried to fight another maintenence guy because he was talking loud. He told me he carries a gun in a fanny pack and points it at people. He also says if people look at him he’ll walk up and ask if they want to kiss him. He’s fucking nutty.
Dudes just off his rocker, his ex (by his account) would cut herself badly and bang her head on walls, and point guns at him.
Anyways, when he was recording me he was mad over the littlest shit 
. I didn’t know I was being recorded but he turned to me and started shaking and quivering uncontrollably but not in a scared manner. He said “you got me shaking”. Honestly I knew my crazy had to match his, so I just loudly told him that I don’t give a fuck. I did get another party involved.
Later he accused me of lying and said I am manipulating his head, another fucking weird thing to say to another man. I work in our building alone with this dude, I told my boss if he fucks around I’ll have to handle it in my best interest to ensure I make it home. I don’t trust this fucker

I’m really sorry that you have to deal with this shit, like, genuinely sorry. But holy fuck that guy is crazy. Did he really accuse you of manipulation when HE said all the weird shit..? Shrimp Jesus that’s funny…
Even my boss was laughing, he’s told my boss all the same stories. My boss also thought he was recording his conversations and joked about it to him, guess he really is. Honestly this dude is the least of my concerns, now I just let him do his own thing and interact as little as possible. I just treat him like the rest of the crew now, just stay away and let him be isolated. We all knew he was off but I was trying to interact and get the guy to feel like part of the crew.
Matter of time before he flies off the rail, he also followed a dude at work from a building to another building across the street and said some shit to him. Problem is, none of this gets reported so he continues doing this shit

You’re so kind with your words. I love people who are ‘off’ and genuinely despise that type of sociopathic behavior. I’m really sorry you’re having to deal with someone like that, too. That would definitely scare the shit out of me
