@ABC People all over the world love to be racist toward Black ppl & it's just boring and weak smh It's almost like it's the last really chickensh*t thing they can do so they just do it lol
@cancelcultrclub@BrynnTannehill My point is Americans by and large aren't emotionally connected to very many political "issues" that would prompt them to protest or take action if those policies were adjusted or altered.
@cancelcultrclub@BrynnTannehill Actually moderate politics still widely prevail in America. We're seeing reactionary politics that impact very specific groups and those marginalized groups have a loud voice. The average American doesn't care about gun rights, more so gun reform for safety, etc.
@jdcaughel Well yea & to your point the movement towards secession comes from the red states, which also have increasingly large blue areas, seen with several historically red states recently turning blue. Civil War is just a fever dream for an extreme minority, not realistic
@BrynnTannehill There won't be a Civil War. Individual states don't have standing, well-regulated militias and less than .1% of American citizens are willing to actually go to war for their cultural/religious ideologies, let alone being built for anything even resembling war.
@nayyeroar It is a generation's predisposition to idealize their youth and the world they came of age in. The reality is the world is generally safer, dangerous in different ways, perhaps. Nostalgia and the realization of mortality exaggerates percieved threats, real or otherwise.
@jimrome Why are political and social justice issues in sports viewed so negatively today by so many people when it's always been a major factor? It would be cool to look into that
@jimrome Every time I see Ali I think of America's complicated relationship with politics, race, & sports. His conversion to Islam & refusal to fight in Vietnam, yet became an icon. Same with Jackie Robinson, refused to participate in the anthem, became an icon.
