I think it’s a matter of scale. I think as humans we are tribal creatures and we work well with a small community behind us. But as scale has increased from a tribe to a town to a city to a state to a country and now with social media it’s basically most of the world, it’s become difficult for most of us to relate to anything that isn’t in our immediate lives. I too am frustrated that people seem to not want to do anything about the serious problems we have but I think it’s entirely possible that people like this don’t feel any of it except the economy and taxes and as those have gotten worse we’ve seen more normies coming out of the woodwork to say something about it. It’s never your problem until it’s in your backyard.

Being called a Karen is a term that is typically used for somebody who has nothing else to do besides ruining somebody else's day it's somebody who perhaps went to the park and yelled at a child riding a toy car saying they need a driver's license or a person who grabs the hose and sprays a child's current drawing they made in chalk in the apartment or park parking lot.

People are also known for being oblivious, especially nowadays. And finally, lots of people shuffle their feet.

Notice every good thing that happens in Chicago gets ruined almost immediately?

@sfdntk 2 місяці тому
So in Chicago near Roscoe Village there's a hole in the sidewalk concrete shaped exactly like a rat (actually a squirrel, but people say it's a rat). It's been there for literally decades, nobody knows exactly how long. It was created when a squirrel fell into the concrete from a tree that used to overhang the sidewalk. It was a local attraction for many years, and then it went viral online in January of 2024. People would leave things at the rat hole, like pennies for example, and it became a kind of trans-rights symbol because someone left a little baggie of estradiol pills at the rat hole which are commonly used as feminising hormones for trans women who are in the process of medically transitioning. Someone also left a vial of estrogen liquid, used for the same purpose. Word quickly spread and a LOT of signs and plaques and other pro-trans paraphernalia started showing up near the rat hole. Apparently this made some fragile loser angry, so they tried to fill the hole in with concrete, but local residents removed the concrete and restored the rat hole on the same day. Love won over hate, and the rat hole continues to be a symbol for trans rights.

Sounds like a falling hazard for blind ppl, elderly ppl with walking aids, wheelchair users, and kids. Especially if ppl are leaving things like coins and candles in that area. It might be cute, but ppl have to think of the safety of those in their community. No one cares about spoiling fun, but ppl are concerned with public safety- esp of disabled individuals.
