The post above should have contained the following link:Why can't the RW make up its mind about liberals? Are we snowflakes or are we unhinged and violent?Ive noticed that the rightwing will pick a description of the left when it conveniently fits their narrative about a political issue. They don't seem smart enough to realize how much these narratives contradict one another lol
The term 'snowflake' inherently refers to a liberal. Not all liberals are unhinged and violent by most unhinged and violent people are liberal. Not sure where your confusion is?You just keep thinking that...The term 'snowflake' inherently refers to a liberal.
Quite frankly, I don't know of any genre of people more fragile than right wingers (RWS).
- No, 'Snowflake' as a Slang Term Did Not Begin with 'Fight Club'
- It's developed a new and decidedly less pleasant use as a disparaging term for a person who is seen as overly sensitive and fragile.
- The surprising history of ‘snowflake’ as a political insult
- It was a largely non-partisan slight — a mean, though not hateful, dig at millennials perceived to have an outsize sense of their own individuality and, by extension, importance. Helicopter parented to the hilt, millennials supposedly graduated from college (into a dismal economy with unprecedented mountains of student debt) too coddled for this cruel world, ill-equipped to face life’s indignities with dignity.
But as 2016 dawned, snowflake made its way to the mainstream and, in the process, evolved into something more vicious. The insult expanded to encompass not just the young but liberals of all ages; it became the epithet of choice for right-wingers to fling at anyone who could be accused of being too easily offended, too in need of “safe spaces,” too fragile.
The only reason RWS use the term "snowflake" is to preempt it being proffered of them.
- RWS want a savior of sorts who'll provide them with rote labor jobs like the ones their grandparents had. The rest of us are willing to develop the skills needed to perform the literally millions of available jobs.
- RWS are the most vocal complainers about not being listened to and not being heard, yet in few instances have they anything worth saying; moreover, coherent utterances are anathema to them.
- RWS, if one doesn't fawn all over them, get pissed off.
- RWS inflexibly see the world in binary terms, and we all know that which is not flexible is easily broken.
- RWS complain about what the press is saying about them rather than giving the press something different to talk about.
- RWS see no difference between constructive criticism and castigatory invective.
- RWS, when confronted with a criticism, resort to vulgar aspersions.
- RWS, when faced with criticism, respond with tu quoque retorts, as if that were germane to the act/remarks about which the criticism was made.
