People just being angry that this article exists is a great example of some of the things you’re talking about. These same people most likely don’t consider themselves racist in the least. I suppose privilege is looking at all these topics through the lens of their/our own experiences rather than being empathetic and understanding of other lived experiences.

“Nobody bothers black people on the trail”

“These problems arent real”

“They said something about whiteness. This is offensive”

All great examples of whiteness. All great examples of how systemic racism is alive and well.

I pass as white. I see all these privileges. I’m quite sure I participate in all these problems in ways I can’t see. But to just laugh of lived experiences of marginalized people because we haven’t experienced them ourselves is quite awful.

I suppose you didn’t read it

The only people it pisses off are snowflakes who don’t like the idea of not being the center.

The very title is about the fact that it’s for everyone.

If a PoC who says “maybe white folks shouldn’t be the default in the hobby” pisses you off, maybe you have some shit to work out that you didn’t know was inside you.

Based on your other comment I don’t think you’re an anti vaxxxer (which I think is what the downvotes are about) I read the linked article. Some experts say it’s important to begin developing vaccines for birds and others worry it will somehow prolong the problem and make it easier to pass to humans.

Hopefully we have ready begun getting a vaccine ready for when it does lass to humans on a larger scale.

I also drive a big truck for a living and I’ll always flash at those super bring UFO custom light trucks. It’s bullshit. And the aftermarket headlights in a plow truck almost had me off the road yesterday.

Wait until billions of people are displaced. Wait until we have mass famines. I know this is a shit post, but you have no idea what’s coming in the next couple of decades.

Guess what happens when we get a blue ocean event. Guess what happens when the AMOC stops and jet stream collapses. Guess what happens when the tundra thaws and we get peat fires that never go out. Guess what happens when the ocean acidifies and it releases billions of tons of Greenhouse gasses.

That’s our future. Glad you’re enjoying the weather.
