I dont get why other people can publicly hang other people who have hurt others but when I did it, it was bad?

this really pees me off too. Person A is constantly horrible to Person B, yet when Person B finally hits back, THEY are in the wrong!

I keep a diary of what people do to me now, if they keep hurting me. Then I have evidence.

I don't get why Boomers and Zoomers are CONSTANTLY at each other's throats and act like other generations don't exist. As far as I'm concerned, they're both aggravating me to death.

Boomers: People need to go back to the 1950s when we could all be racist and sexist and a beat a kid's rear end with a belt for speaking his mind! Kids don't even know what a book is anymore and they're all depressed because of phones!

Zoomers: Hey, everyone! Let's start eating chicken marinated in cough medicine because they showed it on Tik Tok! Ewww, you like that cartoon? But it was made in 1939, that's evil! *watches Batman movie without any irony*

I don't get why the media is saying that inflation is good.

It's a figure of speech, it's when someone publicly outs someone about their bad actions, especially if they had hurt you.

I don't get why political victories seem to be won with increasingly small margins. I think I understand why politics in democracies globally are becoming more polarised, by not why the two poles attract roughly similar sized groups of voter.

I don't get how people were able to work a job torturing prisoners in the medieval times and how people were able to watch a person be executed where they are tortured to death like the wheel or being pulled apart by horses or animals and other brutal executions that would torture them to death. It's amazing how much we have evolved as humans and back then more people were just psychopaths back then and then our brains evolved so we don't do these things anymore and many of us are now against these things.

I don't get why people are so obsessed with underwear. I never did get that.

TW: VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION!!

I don't get why every single thing has to be "diverse" now. Like at Walmart right now they have have decorations of Santa and elves with dark brown skin. Elves aren't even human, they could be green or magenta for all I care. Also why aren't there any Asian or Hispanic Santas or elves? Or female Santas? Not Mrs Claus, but Santa as a woman?

I don't know, maybe I really am a horrible person just for even thinking this. :( Maybe Santa is Inuit. :)

Yeah. Ive wondered about that too.

We had that one close election in 1960 when Kennedy beat Nixon by a microscopic margin. But Nixon and Kennedy werent even all that far apart politically ( modern progressives would consider the "Liberal" JFK to be a dinosaur, and modern MAGAs would brand the "conservative" Nixon "a leftwing radical").. And we didnt have another Presidential election like that again for forty years. But then we got the razor thin margin between W. and Al Gore in 2000. And then we had Hillary beat Trump by a respectable three percentage points in the popular vote, but still loose the Electorial College. Suddenly everything is a dead heat locally and nationally all of the time.

I don't get how anyone can be threatened by diversity and want to keep the white supremacy going.

I am sorry to say that I don't think humans have evolved at all. These things still happen, the forms of torture have just become more efficient and clinical. Such as the Holocaust. I read that the Holocaust made biologists realise that humans hadn't evolved as much as they thought.

And of course the horrors taking place in Ukraine.

I'm not hopeful about the human race.

So we did evolve but we just found other ways of doing it. :wink:
