The victimhood complex in general in America is a problem. The worst is when you see people call US a third world country or some other bullshit. If you're living in the US, you are better off than most of the world. It comes off as spoiled and priviledges af.

Conservatives hold 3/4 seats of federal power in the US.

Yea, I dont understand this either, you dont agree with a few of your countrys policys and leaders so its immediately a 3rd world? Hell even just having decent internet access or any at all even in most of the country is a privilege people take for granted.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/overall-rankings

with a GDP 4 times higher than the next closest we still ranked 8/80 in 2018.

third world country is obviously too much and stupid but criticizing a country that has a GDP of 20 trillion dollars for barely making the top 10 is a logical stance to take.

Im not sure why you take this criticism so personally.

Based on reported cases alone it's ~6%

Many are asymptomatic or untested of course so who knows what the actual number is.

You can literally see this from the article title

For those who don't think there's anything wrong with this article, imagine an article titled "The SJW victimhood complex has made America impossible to govern" and maybe you'll understand.

Pretty much. The right calling the left "snowflakes" is just another example of their main tactic of projection just like "cucks", "soyboys", "NPCs", etc.

They excuse or ignore literal concentration camps and various abuses of authority by cops, but act like not being able to get a hair cut or go golfing is like Nazi Germany.

You can't even compare this to SJWs. SJWs don't have the political power or the huge money machine behind them like conservatives do.

Article reminds me of one of Bush 2's witticisms "a dictatorship would be a lot easier so long as I'm the dictator."

Just another whiney leftist that's upset it's hard to get what they want when people don't blindly do what they're told because I'm telling them to, and doing so in a way that fuels disobedience more than kills it.

I suppose that's easier that admitting that hyperbolic hysterics, only make people respond like it's hyperbolic hysterics and not listen, and while you may not be doing it, every social media post saying a lack of masks will kills us all does.

I was talking strictly con/lib. Yes, the extreme right is way scarier than the extreme left. But mainline? They are so rabidly anti-each other that nothing can be accomplished, and that can't be thrown all onto one side of the aisle.

Assuming every criticism is the result of tribalism and not an individual's thought process and the information available seems like a pretty big problem to me.

The mainline right has begun openly embracing the far right. You know this, but will not admit it so that you can continue to shitpost.

There's also this. The right consistently falls in line with whoever's leading, which has drifted further right pretty much year after year. The left continues to be made of several subsets that clash against each other constantly.

Oh please, this is called gaslighting you know? "What in the fuck is happening here" is meant to create doubt in judgment. It's not directly refuting what I said in any way.

The generalizing is the "all conservatives are bad" mentality that the author of this clearly had when writing this. This is not an uncommon mentality. You know what though? Far right wingers think the exact same thing about left wingers, that they are bad. It's basically became a team sport with no honest discussion.

Implies the solution is always in the middle, or that these sides are even polar extremes.
