A thread I made here was mocked on a right-wing website
Advertisements [?]
I googled a phrase just before, and what do you know, among the top hits was a right-wing site that apparently picked up my thread here in the lounge. Maybe you remember it from a few months back, but I was talking about issues finding employment after graduating college and my frustrations at the time. Well, apparently that was deserving enough to be the topic of discussion on this vile website. They copied and pasted what I wrote filled with commentary saying how I was going to be a bag boy at a grocery store. Of course they didn't know a thing about me but they felt they knew enough to assume I was some elitist left-wing college kid with no clue of the real world. Maybe I was once a Republican, maybe I'm a moderate, they don't care. I'm just some fucking hippie. Yet, what they don't know is that I am well on my way to be earning a high salary job in about a few months. But that's not important. While I'm typing right now, filled with rage, I just want to send my message to the lurkers as well as to DU: the generalizations, the hate, the pettiness needs to stop. Politics is not about lifestyle. Don't buy into the stereotypes. Don't reject being compassionate and understanding to other people because you are a certain political persuasion. There are honest disagreements about policy. Don't assume to have people figured out because they may be writing on a left or right-wing website. It is so childish, so petty, I have no idea why people have to go out of there ways to mock and deride their fellow countryman who they have never even met or talked to, because they happen to be on a website you don't like. In about five years if I get this job, I will be making over a hundred grand while this scum types bullshit on his computer. What a sad way to live. Apologies in advanced for grammar. I'm just so disappointed with my fellow humanity.
