Yeah, I believe the phrase is short for the weather:

What’s the weather doing?

It is raining.

Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

The predestal/respect bit in my comment was about this post as a whole. IMO, the screenshotted person does not deserve to be paid attention to. They are not revealing anything new by any means while choosing to make the problem worse.

I don’t know what anyone being in my family has to do with anything. My response is the same: if you are unhappy enough to complain out loud about something you are helping cause, either do something about it or shut the fuck up.

That’s all good and well and I agree with you, but I also believe if you have and are continuing to feed the machine, then you don’t get to be put on a pedestal or respected for recognizing how bad the machine is. This person is repeating something that is already very well known and accepted and is simultaneously adding to the alarm while causing it. I have extremely low patience for that particular brand of person. They are continuing to cause the problem they are rallying against.

If I were face to face with this person, I’d genuinely say “either quit working there or shut the fuck up.”

“im a henchman for a bad guy…and lemme tell you…I think we might be starting to do bad stuff…not sure yet…”

Thanks bud

Why would you spread this? That’s the point of these things, to get a reaction out of people and get it seen by more people.

Stop making shit worse

Son of gold would be “goldson”. “Goldman” would be a moniker for someone who worked with gold (miner, jeweler, gilder) or possessed/wore a lot of it.

Some sort of rule about verification may help your cause, and I hope it runs well for you

Without strong and trusted mods, this will be interesting…

Zelensky said something about X You said “well he didn’t do anything about Y”

That’s whataboutism. You may have meant it honestly, but ultimately what that kind of argument does is attempt to reduce zelenskys response to this action by comparing it to how he may have done something not as good in a different situation.

Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.

So then it’s not worse?

If you do it for side money, you’re only accomplishing that by fucking someone else over. Otherwise you wouldn’t make money.

What is this referring to?

Based on your response, I’m guessing you didn’t read about the history of the phrase that I linked, which explains what it meant and how it was used in the early, mid, and late 20th century. As well as the 21st century.

Just because you think something means something doesn’t mean it’s true.

The word’s always been pretty straightforward. I’ve never seen it mean anything performative. It’s always just a soft and empathetic person to a harmful degree.

I don’t think “blame” is the right word here. They’re/we’re looking for reasons for how things ended up the way they did.

IMO it’s unhelpful at best and harmful at worst to look at the data and the people analyzing it and approach it as a blame thing - or even to assume it’s a finger pointing game. The facts are that the voting strategies of certain groups of people changed this election. The important thing moving forward is to understand who changed and why they changed, because then those things can be addressed.

And yeah, DNC leadership is either dumb or actively malicious because they keep pushing failed ideas under a false banner.

Why should we know this

It’s an insult for being to sympathetic/empathetic and soft.

Ultimately meaning that if push came to shove, a bleeding heart would be so caught up in caring that they would fail to make a tough decision.

That’s not what those terms mean or why they are used as insults.

And, generally speaking, a few ethnic/gender groups changed their voting strategies this election, while others didn’t. The articles calling out different demographics are pointing out reality. Those shifts affected the results of the election.

That’s why they are being pointed out, instead of pointing out that one group did exactly what was expected of them and what they did last time, and the time before, and the time before…

So I’d challenge you that it’s not recriminations or gross, it’s simply pointing out what changed and how it led to us being in our current spot. You can’t fix things/change course without understanding where you are.
