Shunning is the best first recourse we have. It’s nonviolent and you can stop at any time if they change. We should be shunning people with intolerant beliefs.
the internet gives harbour for the shinned. allows them to reinforce the behaviour and probably amplify the behaviour.
Shinned sounds like a verb for when you either kick someone in the shin or get kicked in the shin.
In any way, I am up for dickheads being first shinned and then shunned.
All this talk about shunning makes me remember this wounderful intro to the fantastic game Zork Grand Inquizitor:
2024 should really have all of the previous statements expressed simultaneously with “WAH AM VICTIM”, considering the complete lack of self-awareness expressed by MAGA types.
To the conservative mind, shame itself is the great oppressor.
The shame you feel when the kids start talking back,
The shame you feel when they go as far as to take a loan out to go to college despite your objections,
The shame you feel when they come back from college open eyed and argumentative,
The shame you feel when they stop coming back for holidays,
The shame you feel when they officially cut you off,
The shame you feel when you find out about their future milestones second hand, if they even let you have a second hand link,
The shame you feel when all your neighbors have a similar story to tell in this dying spiteful dusty little town you spent your whole life in,
The shame you feel when feeling safe getting to say the N-word again when you blame the PC “junk” for turning the kids against you overrides all principles you may have once had like a junkie hanging on for dear life for that next hit of reassurance that the world can be punished for leaving you behind.
I don’t know why, but what you posted reminded me of this - https://youtu.be/EdVAd6oNqP0
Probably the line “You’re gonna wanna block, and BLOCK, and BLOCK! AND BLOCK… your son from moving to LA!”
sigh I would left this town too if only it were possible.
If you preach hate, then expect hate.
