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.

    "It's Schroedinger's Satire, of course; utterly serious until someone challenges you about it."

    Well, that's generally how jokes work. They take one down a plausible road up to a point where it seems serious and then they suddenly shift the camera and it's a totally different scene, so to speak. That moment when serious gets flipped to ludicrous is the moment of relief that makes you laugh.

    Not that I've seen much humor in this JE.
