    That both sidsing shit is the most frustrating thing ever. My friends like that. Big JP, Ben Shapiro, Russel Brand type guy. We work together on an ambulance so we spend most of our day alone together, leading to plenty of political conversations. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the “but both sides” bs. Knowing full well I’m an anarchist too lol, like bruh. Yeah it’s both sides (sometimes) but you’re being disingenuous and completely missing the point. Sorry to bombard you but I literally just got off shift and Oliver Anthony was the culture war bullshit topic of the day lol

        Yyyyyyep. He came from an upper middle class family and doesn’t think white privilege is a thing or that a few people having all the money isn’t a bad thing. His stance essentially boils down to “both sides are bad, progress is good but the left does it wrong and I have no idea what ‘correct’ progress would look like so nothing should be changed”

          There really is no arguing with those privilege elementals; when I argue with them it’s for the sake of anyone listening or watching.
