To Mask or Not To Mask?

And if you look at the rest of the twitter feed of that young lady, you will see that she is dead center of the progressive culture that invented the concept of Karens.
I'm in support of Karen-as-insult. It's not like "soccer mom," which implies having kids and accommodating their schedules is lame. The Karen thing criticizes behavior that should be criticized, referencing a demographic that usually engages in such.

Nothing correlates with wokeness more than privilege. So when woke people talk of Karens, they are talking of another slightly different version of themselves. What is wokeness if not a cultural cop named Karen?

That's fine, you're just using it in the expansive 'white girl I don't like' sense, which in your case means white woke progressives.

No, it was more subtle than that, but it's fine that you didn't follow that part. There was the unintentional splash damage of an explosive device she encourages.

The idea that it wasn't you that expressed animus towards her, rather it was a splash from the culture, strikes me as - how should I put it? - a less than Vulcan level of self awareness.

Except I never claimed not to have animus towards her, jon. Can you point me to where I said that, oh objective one?

You didn't state it, it just seemed to me you were trying to duck owning it.
If you say you weren't, that's good enough for me.

You think I try to duck ownership of an animus towards white woke progressives? Do you need another coffee or something?

Of course. I will die not having had enough coffee.

It was a WTF reference. Wtg said she was so objective and fact-based that she was basically Spock, and I raised my eyebrow (see what I did there?) at that. So jon tried to flip it back on me because jon sticks up for his friends, even the profoundly sanctimonious and pretentious among them.

I'll believe it when I see a photo.
C'mon, show us your "raised an eyebrow" pictures.

I'm exactly the opposite.

Are you right-dominant or left-dominant in your hands and feet?

Me too. I wonder if there's a correlation between that and eyebrow control, and if so, which one of us is weird. I bet that's the sort of thing that could be googled.

No, it seemed to me that you called this girl a Karen because she struck a nerve being a pretty young girl teasing right wing incels. But then it seemed like you were not owning the insult, rather it seemed to me you were claiming that she was a textbook example of what society considers a Karen and you were simply pointing that out. (Like wtg claiming to be just reporting the news, not making her own point)
So yeah, I detected a lack of self awareness.
For the record I thought your criticism of WTG was both funny and on point.

Horace and Jon both agreed:
"...because jon sticks up for his friends, even the profoundly sanctimonious and pretentious among them."
