But this is allowed ??? Such a freaking double, hypocritical standard from the left. This offends me. Who can I see about this and make sure they're fired?
First off, if you did some research, what you’ve just posted has nothing to do with NY’s sanitation Dept. They didn’t sanction it and are acting to dispose of them. (pun intended). So, if you want to get offended by a rogue loony, so be it. It’s also an example of combatting the lowest common denominators by reducing yourself to a lowest common denominator too. I hear Talk about all the ‘winning’ being done by Trump. Congrats, you are contributing to this person ‘winning’ as well by platstering it on a form of social media and going off the rails because of it. I’m
Sure that person is saying I love seeing those ‘Pub tears’. Each side acts the same freaking way and no one is willing to recognize it.
Secondly, you jump to some conclusion that ‘this is allowed’ and a double standard in a discussion about Megyn Kelly and NBC. At worst implying these signs are an NBC thing and they are allowing it. At best implying that it’s some other entity with concern about its bottom dollar and it’s consumers and them opting to allow it also.
Thirdly, in this example, you say you’ve chosen to be outraged or offended. But let’s break down the distinction in the face of this ‘double stabdard’. You are being challenged over a choice you’ve made. A choice to be a trump supporter. A choice to be a Christian (i believe God assists that choice however). By making those choices, one has reasoning, life events, knowledge, experience to support those choices and subsequently well equipped to defend your choice. If you can’t, then why did you chose it in the first place? And you could easily opt out of its too much to bear.
Compare that to someone being born, not by choice, but their parents choice. And being born a minority. We’ll use African American since this is the example started here, and the largest minority in the country. I won’t even go back to slavery (it’s atrocity isnt hard to grasp) but can just go back to an era such a short time ago in history, that some on this board were probably already alive. When being black meant subservient, Inferior and segragated over being born a different color than the governing majority. No opting out when it was and in some instances, still is, unbearable. We can all thank ‘the libs’ for at least governing our way out of that astonishment. But you can’t assume that governance also Eradicated the hurt, the lack of trust or whatever else you want to add, out of a race of people. The only way to do it, is with some sort of compassion, understanding and empathy. That’s not a handout. That’s humanity. Drawing a hard line in the sand saying ‘get over it’ Or ‘I’m sick of it’, is terrifying actually. Giving Grace, empathy, understanding to anyone else costs nothing. It doesn’t devalue anyone. Unless of course, someone is too far sunk into identity politics that giving that costs them everything. that’s too scary a place for lots of people to go. So we hear ‘what about me?’ All the time.
So long time oppression of a race, who had no choice in being born one way or another and being touchy, sensitive or offended, is not the same thing as being offensed because you chose to support Trump or be a Christian. It’s just not. You can call it a double standard if you just want to dig in to preconceived notions.
But even Jesus said Christians would be pushed and challenged. He didn’t say beware, republicans will be tormented by the democrats. So why are you surprised or even worried or angered about some sign some loony put out there. Or some opinion that has zero bearing on your existence?
A loose example of A double standard would be if ‘the left’, let’s call ‘the left’ NBC, had someone standing in the voting line making jokes to the women in line that they should be back home taking care of the kids or fixing dinner. Just a little harmless fun at the expense of a gender who didn’t choose to be born a female who should just be lucky that they were given the right to vote, by that ‘liberal Woodrow wilson’ I might add. And if they get mad, tell them to just get over it. And then NBC allowing him to retain position. Choosing sexism over racism.
When you approach it this way, what are you really sick and tired of? You’re constantly in some sort of fight with yourself and who you identify as. So day by day, it reads like you’re really sick and tired of yourself. You have the choice to be at peace with it. It’s not ‘the libs’ ‘job’ to shut up.
This coming from someone who is not ‘a lib’.
