I’ve had it with every fucking armchair internet and otherwise political pundit wannabe yelling for people to WAKE UP!! It started with white supremacist groups and rolled into every government fearing shithead alarmist out there. WAKE UP AMERICA before all your rights are taken away!! Don’t you see what’s happening??!! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!
SHUT THE FUCK UP…I’M AWAKE!!! I JUST DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU GIVE A SHIT ABOUT OK???
Oh…this is vaguely related to this thread. I saw the part about waking up and it was just one time too many. No offense intended to the poster on that thread…just got off another board where someone else was trying to wake me up.
I’m with you, zwaldd.
I’m sick to death of people with strong ideals (to put it politely) assuming that if I don’t agree with them, I’m asleep or deluded, have blinders on, fooling myself, kidding myself, lying to myself, undereducated, underexposed to reality, and generally worthless.
I mean, what the fuck? the religious right, the radical left, conspiracy theorists, earth-firsters…anyone who believes in a cause enough to proclaim it above 90 decibles seems to have an innate sense of Truth and a direct line to What It’s All About. :rolleyes:
As far as I’m concerned, anyone that condescending is trying to convince themselves almost as much as they’re trying to convince me. And they can take these convictions they’re trying to ram down my throat disguised as a double mocha latte, and keep it in the cup long enough to pop a nipple on that puppy and see what a warm enema with cream and sugar is really like.
You see, the people who make the proclamation that it is time to “Wake Up” are speaking to you about the most important issue of all time, no matter what it is. Obviously, if you are ignoring their plight, you are asleep.
Don’t you get it? Or did you lose interest and fall asleep?
I am as interested in politics as anybody else, but upon seeing “WAKE UP” several times in an op-ed column, makes me doubt the strength of their argument.
Plus it just makes them sound like a pompous dickhead.
