Fwd: I used to be a normal man!


Subject: Fwd: I used to be a normal man!
As a man, I used to think I was a regular person, but I was born white, which now, whether I like it
or not, makes me a racist & responsible for slavery
 
I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan
& support myself.
 
I went to High School, worked through college, got a degree & have held a job.  I am not here
because I earned it, but because I was advantaged.
 
I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.
 
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class & ally of big business.
 
I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
 
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a member of the vast NRA gun lobby.
 
I am older than 65 & retired, making me a useless old man who doesn't understand Facebook.
 
I think & I reason, so I doubt what main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.
 
I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.
 
I value my safety & that of my family, & I appreciate the police & the legal system, making me a
right-wing, cop loving extremist.
 
I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which
today makes me an anti-socialist.
 
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 & protection of America for & by all citizens, now making me a militant.
 
I AM A VETERAN…I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, & the many who died to let it fly, so I stand & salute
during our National Anthem, taking me back where I started - 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!
 
I thank my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, newfound changes to my thinking!
I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly! Funny - it all took place over
the last 7 or 8 years!

If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which
restroom to use, & I gotta go..........FREQUENTLY!!!

No, it just makes you naive.

He forgot to mention that he's spectacularly poorly informed.

Bullshit, Mr. Pseudo Insightful III. It's been "happening" to you all your brainwashed life, and you've been quite the willing cog in the machine the plutocracy has been running the past 40 years.

Interesting to see the circle of rhetoric evolve, in defense of the oligarchy:

"American exceptionalism"

Patriotism/jingoism

Religion

And now "socialism" defined so broadly as to represent anything that's a threat to the unholy alliance of business and the state, but especially the business that's been funneling money upwards fromm the working class to the top 1 percent. But you're OK with that because you're a ruff & ready bootstrap puller, even as you lick the man's boots.

Got it.
