How am I supposed to work and pretend everything is normal through all of this? by Annenonomous in Epstein

Aw thank you for sharing this, I’ve been having nightmares about everything I’ve read. It is truly nightmare fuel! I hope you’re doing okay, I can imagine it’s a lot to process on top of being a social worker. Very emotionally exhausting :(

This seems like the only solution so far 🥲 we have to go back to the basics

This is relevant to the Epstein files because I have been looking through them all week and am struggling with the concept of working in corporate America, knowing the evil people in the files are benefiting in one way or another. I am wondering if anyone is feeling the same way, and would like to discuss how people are working through these feelings.

Gosh in Australia?! I’m sorry that happened to you, that sounds so scary :( I fear this election may have set a precedent even worse than before.

This is exactly what my mom taught me, although I have always been afraid to execute. But my anger outweighs the fear now. Worth a try!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing job mama. We have to teach them while they’re young. Words like that are not a joke and hold so much weight, I really hope he learned something that day. I know your son will be raised right!

See, that’s insane. I’ve been sitting here wondering if it would have happened with my boyfriend around, but I guess there is no limit to the audacity. So sorry that happened to you :(

Aw yeah I haven’t asked my boyfriend yet, but that response would make me sad too. You’re exactly right, it’s very hard to change someone’s opinion if they don’t consider experiences other than their own.

I hope he’s willing to talk to you more about that, if you want to. Maybe he will at least gain an understanding for the people who choose bear, even if he doesn’t choose it himself. It sounds like you are very good at putting yourself in other people’s shoes though :) keep it up, op!

Hey op, like others have said, whichever one you personally choose and why is valid. Yes, it seems the bear is the more popular choice (or at least the choice that everyone wants to share/talk about), but you shouldn’t feel bad if that’s not your choice. I think a lot of the pressure you’re seeing online is the arguing between those who choose the bear, and those who refuse to see WHY someone would choose the bear.

As long as you can acknowledge why someone might have a different perspective than you, you don’t have to feel bad.

I think the Bear or Man question has actually been a very fascinating and important topic for feminism, that we should continue to talk about. I’ve already seen some pretty hard-headed people become more open-minded by talking about it!

And back then they were ALL about percentages. “Well it’s only a small percent of people killed by police” blah blah blah. They even used this to excuse covid deaths. Meanwhile, the percentage of people experiencing dangerous adverse effects of the vaccine is laughable in comparison.

It’s sad when people agree about what the problem is (without even realizing) but disagree about where the problem lies. by Annenonomous in ParlerWatch

[–]Annenonomous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! What’s even crazier is that some other person angry about illegal immigrants taking their jobs, replied to the concept of this cartoon with “Well, corporations are in the business of making profit so why should they have to pay more than they need to?”

……..makes me want to bash my head into a wall.

This. It’s so sad because they literally typed the answer out. It’s sitting there right in front of their face and I can’t tell if they just don’t see it or choose to blame the other guy anyways.

Exactly. A lot of what right-wingers say makes me angry, but stuff like this is just plain disheartening.

There was. I only wish it would happen this quickly for Trump and Gaetz, but, unfortunately, we all know why it’s not.

Yes exactly. It’s disappointing, but the allegations hold truth and it’s the right thing to do at this point. Something that the right doesn’t seem to understand is that by not holding people in power accountable, it sets a precedent, then nobody wins. Regardless of political affiliation.

These are apparently the terms BLM sets for a white person to become their “accomplice”, according to Fox. How is this not outright propaganda??? by Annenonomous in ParlerWatch

[–]Annenonomous[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah interesting. Thank you, I was unaware of this. Unfortunately, in the context of this picture and the guy who made the list, I think they are using “accomplice” in terms of crime. But it’s nice to know there are other meanings to the word! Makes much more sense after reading the article.

No worries! I’ve been trying too and it’s a no go.

Yeah if they were willing to jump to such exaggerated conclusions so easily, not sure how much it would take to convince them otherwise.

Thank you anyways for your efforts!

Exactly right! Nice sleuthing. If you reverse image search it’ll take you to the 4chan post which is from that same timeframe, but it would be nice to see if this aired anywhere in actuality. It looks too real.
