Yeah, that is what has turned me off from people. I think that some of us go through hard times and it wakes us up. "THIS IS REALITY!". It's harsh, cold, things are not as they seem and you need to deal with it. Maybe that's why I kind of disbanded from my SJW friends.

They live in the clouds, as you said. Some are wealthy youtubers who live in $3,000 a month apartments in nice areas of LA with no crime and support defunding the police. Good, so now poor people get to deal with the crime, murder and chaos - but at least you're not racist because you supported it in your 0% crime area.

Anytime I post on instagram I get unfollowed by some people. It's as though everyone assumes that people all believe what they believe until you post something and it shattered their illusion.

Life isn't fair and everyone has to deal with bullshit in one way or another. If you always let other people fix your problems you never learn any lessons. That's seems to be a lot of people problems. Never taking accountability for choices they have made and living in the victim mentality.

My problem with the SJW movement is they never self reflect. They never asked themselves why they believe certain things or look into the other side of the argument. If you dont argue with the certain woke thing, you are the enemy. And the woke things are getting more radical every year.

I hope we come back to sanity soon.
