Professionally Outraged

. the reaction to the overload of absurd PC culture and SJW virtue signaling is why Donnie "Incompetence" McTrump runs my country right now... which may actually lead to world war 3, ugh.

Making that cheddar as a gold member

Of the professionally a*s hurt brigade

 

Group thinking for friends

Virtue signaling for dollars

Forcing tears for the camera

 

It’s all f*****g cancer

And counter-productive

 

All people aren’t idiots

Outside of your bubble

We see that you’re awful

 

Parasitic and stupid

Opportunistic and ignorant

Dramatic for fake reasons

 

It’s time to stop the madness

It’s time to be rational

It's time to stop crying wolf

When it's really just puppies

Can I just say that the summary was perfect? Because it was. I laughed a bit at the second half of it.

This poem rings with a strong sense of opinion. It's got your classic style mixed in, but I think this is the first time I've honestly gotten a real glimpse of your feelings being truly folded into a piece. There's a lot of things you mentioned that I agree with because you can see and hear it when you turn on the TV or radio. It's nice to see someone actually calling it like they see it. Too many people seem to shy away from it.

When we shy away from controversy we allow mob sentimentalities to control our everyday discourse... slowly at first, banning a word here or there may not be so bad, but the end game is clear... it's moral fascism and eventually it becomes 'controlled thought'.

The Lord of Rings kinda speaks to this... that one ring could be used metaphorically... Some favor banning certain kinds of expression, exercising ultimate control, becoming a punishing factor and it's a slippery slope from there... so from even a place of goodness it's power eventually corrupts absolutely. Without absolute freedom of expression, there is no freedom of expression. Moral enslavement, no matter how seemingly altruistic in the moment, is still enslavement.

Yes, yes, to this. Scathing and also, precise.

I love the way this comments on social problems turning into nightmares when brushed over and pushed away, not my exact opinion, but then again, god... I am so removed from the U.S. culture, being a lonely a*s expat kid. SJW? the f**k. All I know is how fucked up it is in terms of school shootings and cops killing civilians, of course President Grimace and V.P. Hamburglar... I just have no literal idea anymore...
And I tend to worry, lol... am I an anarchist, a democrat or as republicans would call it a BIEN pushing commie socialist? boop boooop......

Very nice piece, but the part that makes it great is the final two lines. "It's time to stop crying wolf, when it's really just puppies" I loves those lines. Great job.

Thanks Richard. I don't understand how today's youthful idealists can't see that how they are going about things is analogous to the 'boy who cried wolf' story. They're not stupid, just blinded by online social confirmation bias ( I think)
