    You know what, scratch that. For your years of thumbing, spitting and talking down to every person, every group, every individual who you see, is doing everything wrong, compared to you; they are not letting you join in. Really. You're white, definitely middle class, albeit not christian, but you should check all the necessary boxes for inclusion, but years of talking out your ass, like some fool, has you on the outside looking in. I guess people, don't like you bashing everything they do. You know racism, cause you are in lilly white wisconsin. You know how to race, because you have a miata. You know paintball, because you shoot a mechanical STBB.

    Gordon lives in Minnesota.

    I was born in Wisconsin but lived in DC for six years, Baltimore for two and I've now been in LA for three, fwiw.

    Gordon?s a bit hyperbolic, but there is a TON of racism out there. People in the great white north have segregated it out of sight out of mind, people in the south pretend they're not participating, and people on the coasts like to feel conflicted about it (but do relatively little to address it while benefiting from its systems of power).

    All lives matter, until the brown people are quiet and it?s time to sacrifice grandma to The Economy.

    its not the apocalypse they were promised. they were promised their prepping would lead to power after the fall. they were promised the fall would elevate them once again and expose the soy boys for the weakness they believed them to be. they believed they would have the power to save who they wanted to, and everyone else could die.

    but what they didnt plan on, was that compassion is what builds (and saves) civilizations, not ar15s. all there prepping it useless. what actually was important in the fall is compassion, trust, emotional labor, and understanding
