I Don't Feel Safe

Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.

Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

    The quote wasn't sourced, and anything so loaded with bias needs to have its sources exposed. I will note that I did not find an original source, but did find dozens of circle-jerks with large chunks of the exact same content, so just linked the nearest match.

    As to its purported truth, I'm reminded of how an airliner crash in the 1980s was reported. I forget the model of plane but I'll call it the XV-10 for efficiency.

    Honest reporters noted that in that "In its long history, the XV-10 has had very few crashes."

    Sensationalists reported it as "The XV-10 has a HISTORY of CRASHES!!!"

    [Actual stats: crash rate somewhat lower than average.]
