I used to be a normal person
Yes, I reckon that’s a fair description of me.
As an individual, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent, two gender household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist and responsible for slavery.
I am fiscally responsible and moral, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget and support myself.
I went to school, worked my way “up the ladder”, and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was “advantaged”.
I am heterosexual, which according to “gay” folks, now makes me homophobic.
I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
I think and I reason, and I doubt much of what the “mainstream” media tells me, which makes me a “Right-wing conspiracy nut”.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe.
I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me anti-socialist and probably a misogynist.
I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort – not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.
I believe in the defense and protection of the USA for and by all its citizens, now making me a militant.
I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem – so I must be a racist.
Please help me come to terms with the new me because I’m just not sure who I am anymore!
If all this nonsense wasn’t enough to deal with, now I don’t even know which restroom to use… and I have to go more FREQUENTLY!
Well, I borrowed the above from a Facebook post, but I feel it describes this politically correct and cancel culture world where we now live.
What do you think?
