#facebook argument

I had to write this because a recent argument with a Gary Johnson supporter over the damage of sharing even innocuous videos posted by repugnant celebrities on facebook turned quite personal and dark for her. Just after I backed out of the conversation that had devolved into a flurry of multiple rapid-fire posts by her making it all about herself, something was brought to my attention; apathetic people are not only on the rise, but they are developing their own protective talking points to shield them from criticism on their lack of action and lack of support for any one side of an issue that is increasingly becoming black and white.

That MLK jr. quote, “ The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people”, or some variant is the type of quote people will share on social media, and bring out to feel politically educated, but no one ever envisions themselves as the silent ones, because the image that the quote conjures is armed “peacekeepers” hauling away your screaming neighbor while you close the shutters. It doesn’t drive home that it could also be that person choosing to be offended by people calling out the president’s immature, unprofessional, unhinged actions, and jumping to the defense of white supremacists’ “free speech”, while claiming they never voted for him, nor support him now.

And now that markiplier video. Apathy is getting smart, they are putting their good looking celebrities at the front, and talking about a concept called “respect” that is just nebulous and undefinable enough for them to not have to quantify. Jews deserve respect, and they certainly didn’t get that with that sign fiasco, but markiplier instead wants to pontificate on respect to the people telling hate speech to shut the fuck up.

We who oppose the dehumanization of groups of people, and the normalizing of that dehumanization are now fighting two fronts, not just the oppressors, but the people being aggressively silent, the people who will talk about the need for “coming together”, and “respect”, “civil discourse”, “free speech”, and many other phrases they are warping for the purpose of silencing the left.
