Rules? I see basically chaotic witch hunts misery and double standards.

Also if you can purchase a gun to make sure you won't be enslaved you are not fucking oppressed.

You can make a good case for the Right Wing identity being marginalized in the mainstream.

You do't get to teach. The Left will be tuned out and will entrench the right more and more with this.

Of course there is and there has been.

I wasn't suggesting anybody is actually oppressed, but that's a fair consideration to posit.

Otherwise, media, media, media. This all comes down to division on politician sides or division by people focused on issues or people that just don't want to hear it or don't want to be able to smell it. Oh my god, diversity agenda might be at play for Captain Marvel.

And jeez, the whole topic of this thread stems from people crying that Brie Larson is a bigot.

Anyway, where are you seeing that right wing is marginalized in media or otherwise?

Perhaps, in that we’re considerably more civic today than we were 50 years ago, but we still have a lot of work ahead of us it seems.

And who would that be?
And conservatism in older white religious Republican men is really about clinging to values that died out in the sixties, and good riddance, died for a REASON.

I think Yuka means the identity group that prominence and wealth in American society is most concentrated with.

I don't think that that's what Brie Larson was calling out specifically though.

Yuka, you should know better than to dismiss a group like that. Take it from Trump, he was smart not to totally denounce the white supremists, as they were a valuable asset among his voters, and if he did he only did in code because they know he’s one of them hiding in plain sight. ;)

I don’t see color.

You have no idea how much of a bummer it’s been hearing about how wonderful they are in TOS!

I see color. Hell, I'd love to date a black lady, because I find them especially beautiful - but then I'd love to date a white girl or a Latino, whatever. I may have certain "women" that really get me going, but these eyes do not know ugliness. There IS no color when it comes to romance. :lol:

And I mean that seriously.

Virtue signaling aren’t we? ;)

Just kidding, I think the term “virtue signaling” is as abhorrent as “cuck”.
