You are ignoring reality. and until you decide to see it, no one can make you see it.

You just minimized the genocide of Palestinians by Israel as the 'misconduct inthe Israeli army'.

LMAO!

Writer Karen Geier responded to Amy Bindel who said the karen meme was women-hating saying, "As the only Karen replying to you: No. If you have a problem being called 'a Karen' then don't be one? I don't call the police on people or ask to speak to the manager. Very simple!"

It's not bullying, because it calls out racist bullying by the privileged, the karen/ ken meme is POCs choosing satire as a way of reacting to class-based and racially charged hostility.

Did you not read the meme or even the quick excerpt I copy-pasted? Here's the shorter version.

In 2020, the term was broadly applied to a swath of white women who had been filmed harassing people of color, including dialing the emergency services on them for no criminal reason.

If you refuse to get it, then I can't help you.

Karen is a slang term used as an antagonistic female character in memes. "Karen" is generally characterized as an irritating, entitled woman, sometimes as an ex-wife who took custody of "the kids." In 2020, the term was broadly applied to a swath of white women who had been filmed harassing people of color, including dialing the emergency services on them for no criminal reason.

Ffs, at least know the meme you're talking about.

The karen/ ken meme and term became popular as a way for people of colour, particularly black Americans, to satirise the class-based and racially charged hostility they often face.

They protested against racist and privileged bullying that threatened them with police action, their kids with jail, and low-wage service people with losing their jobs, by poking fun at the bullies and publicly calling out the bullying behaviour. POC victims of bullying didn't threaten their bullies or become violent towards them or wave a gun in their faces, but just publicly calling their bullies karen/ken is too much for the karens/ kens and their enablers to handle.

People who say calling out bullies is bullying are not against bullying, they're pro-bullying and are against consequences to bullying.

ps : remember to wipe front to back .

Let's see how this will be spun to show poc victims of racial and class hostility as racist and hostile to racist bullies.

In this case, by their racist and privileged bullying karens threaten people with police, kids with jail, and low-wage service people with losing their jobs, but just publicly calling them karen is too much for the karens and their enablers to handle? This is some z-grade horse manure.

tbh the use of the term karen is bullying

how?

Karens are bullies. Bless you, if you think bullies " keep standards high".

is "investor" the new term for "buyer of WH confidential docs"? because we know Trump & fam didn't steal those docs to be bathroom decor.

He needs to get back on his meds.

that pp needs to be broken and shoved up their ass.

I hear you :(

Talk of burying the lede. Guardian spun the story to make the CEO seem empathetic.

Calm down, Satan!

thus spake the voice of privilege.

Real heroes don't wear capes, they give solid advice.

ps: thanks

tl;dr: No matter how democratic you are, don't ever vote religious extremists backed by corporates to power. They'll fuck you up.

Today is the 106th day of the ethnic and communal genocidal violence in Manipur, India. Peace and safety have not returned to the land. The Union and state govts have abdicated their responsibilities, the Supreme Court asks questions on the the situation and then buys whatever dishwater the AG serves them. The end result is a shambles in Manipur. It's as if the lives of the Indian citizens of Manipur do not matter at all to anyone in power.

The violence has morphed into a civil war, with the state of Manipur split into Meitei-controlled valley and Kuki-controlled hills. Everyone in the state is on the edge,and rather then solve the situation, Biren Singh, its Chief Minister is trying to create a Naga-Kuki conflict in the state.

Central forces like the CRPF & Assam Rifles have created a buffer zone between the two to control the violence. Bombs attacks, raids, gun violence is being carried out on both communities by the other and the response is more violence. Morgues are full of corpses that lie unclaimed because its unsafe for people to go & claim their dead.

The Meitei-majority state govt is openly partisan to the Meitei and the Chief Minister Biren Singh is indifferent at best and actively against Kukis at worst, both in speech and in action. He also refuses to take any responsibility for his inability to end the violence, yet he remains the Chief Minister.

Manipur's Meitei-majority police & commando forces and women-led Meira Paibis have handed over Kuki women to be raped and killed to Meitei mobs.These mobs led by the Hindu supremacist Meitei Leepun whose leader Pramot Singh is a close associate of the Biren Singh, and the Christian-hating black-shirted Arambai Tenggol whose leader is a member of the BJP, Prime Ministe Modi's political party, and member of Parliament and again a close associate of the CM Biren Singh. The Manipur police have also reportedly allowed their armouries to be raided and some 5000 high-powered rifes and 600,000 rounds of ammo have been stolen.

The govt. of India is unwilling to stop the violence, and people in Manipur have their suspicions that the violence that ome are participants of and all are victims of has been engineered.

If 10 years ago, I'd been told that within 10 years Indian democracy would be dead and we'd would witness a civil war in one its states, I'd have laughed. But this is what the Hindu supremacist and corporate-backed Modi has done with the power given to him.
