bdonnellyI’m 56 years old. Which means I’m about to endure my fourth cycle of twenty-something year old dudes discovering the weight room and Ayn Rand shit like they’ve just unlocked Enlightenment itself and by god I’m fucking so tired of it. And now they have podcasts.
I just heard “let me tell you about this criticism of woke culture that I learned in the weight room - there’s this thing called radical responsibility where you own everything that happens to you…” and threw my phone across the room.
It’s like all these dudes since the 80s have been “I’ll just be Henry Rollins but like an edgy reactionary douchebag Rollins…”

Oh my. 100% this!!!

aredsquirrel@Theblueone Systemic problems associated with wealth inequality? no, instead: look at yourself, 'clean your room,'..
radical responsibility is a new one to me, a re-hashed pull yourself from bootstraps garbage.
Of course if everyone just looks solely at their individual selves then the robber in the room has a much easier time.
simonbp@Theblueone "Radical responsibility" sounds like something an adult in an early Simpsons season would say in response to Bart telling them to consume his undergarments.
