The revolution will be televised...
…for shitz 'n' gigglz.
2019's Democratic Socialists of America national convention has been doing the rounds as a source for privileged snowflake memes. The edited highlights are presented by Daily Caller in What A Democratic Socialist Convention Is Like.
Quick point of privilege. Quick point of personal privilege. Guys. First of all, James Jackson, Sacramento, he/him. I just want to say, can we please keep the chatter to a minimum? I'm one of the people who's very, very prone to sensory overload. There's a lot of whispering and chatter going on. It's making it very difficult for me to focus. Please, I know we're all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum? It's affecting my ability to focus.
But Comrade Jackson's use of guys
when addressing the comrades compelled Comrade Twink to speak up. (snowflake)
Point of personal privilege. Please do not use gendered language to address everyone.
I assume Comrade Twink was objecting to the use of guys
as a collective noun for men and women, as in Friends, not in the sense of being gender-specific, in which case I agree with him/them/zir. To her credit, Comrade Chair looked a little taken aback by this intervention. But Comrade Jackson later reappeared, more agitated this time.
Quick point of privilege, once again. Quick point of privilege, once again. Hi, James Jackson, Sacramento DSA, he/him. I've already asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their comrades who're sensitive to sensory overload. And that goes double for the heckling and the hissing. It is also triggering to my anxiety. To be comradely isn't just for let's keep things civil or whatever, it's so that people aren't going to get triggered, so it doesn't affect their performance as a delegate. Okay? Your need to express yourself is important, but your need to express yourself should not trump, or over…
I think he tripped himself up when mentioning he-who-shall-not-be-named.* (LOLZ) (clown)
Addressing Comrade Jackson's concerns over anxiety-triggering noise at a political convention, another comrade addressed the comrades from the podium, reiterating the correct way of drawing attention or signalling approval, as some comrades had already done…jazz hands. I shit you not. And for those still finding the noise overwhelming, quiet rooms were provided; one of which showed audioless video of the proceedings for the highly triggered comrades, who could watch their fellow comrades speaking, but not have to hear what they were saying. So precious!
Please don't into that space with anything that's like an agressive scent, for instance, right? … Because we don't want to put people in stressful situations that they don't consent to, right?
An aggressive scent? He must've been worried about triggering the police dogs.
