re: #231 HappyWarrior

It’s like how all older generations complain about younger ones. They don’t appreciate nothin! I believe Marty made a sim observation in True Detective much to his then father in law’s chagrin.

People complaining about ‘outrage’ stuff now appear to have paid no attention to the 20th century as a whole, the screaming headlines declaring outrage at blacks being allowed to go to school, outrage at the sinking of the Maine, outrage at communist inflitration of the State Department.

But really, they just have no clear argument. Obviously, some things get picked up on and bandied about as outrageous that really aren’t. There are also a shitload of things that are legitimately outrageous, both in speech and deed, like the partial repeal of the VRA, the hundreds of odious comments about rape and abortion by the GOP, and Ryan’s whistling racism pointed out in this essay.

“Sometimes people make too much of something!” Wow, thanks for that observation, you master of human psychology.
