I am not criticizing them, I’m just out of the loop.

    Groups I have trouble with as a millennial:

    • Fascists and neo-nazis
    • Groups which manufacture outrage that marginalize others (This can sometimes be focused/hidden inside of “_____ rights” groups, ironically)
    • Anti-intellectuals
    • Fringe extremists both on the left & right. They wrap around and are more like each other than they are to their “side”

    One thing I don’t understand is certain types of slang but I understand that’s more a result of not being exposed to it regularly then anything else.

    Ofc I don’t understand people that identify as a dog, or a snake, or a duck. But they are free to do them, as long as they don’t try and force that on me (ie. Inconveniencing others/trying to be the main character by being unprofessional in the work place, or making life harder for services/people that don’t cater specifically to them…etc). I think that applies generally to anyone, but you seem to have to walk on eggshells if the person who is being a dick is of some other nature, as if that excuses the behavior.

    While writing this I had an epiphany. My biggest gripes are harmless groups who are viewed as fragile, who are able to get away with behavior/actions that others cannot because others don’t want to be viewed as _____Phobic and lynched. Empowering some of them to, generally, be assholes. That’s what I can’t stand.
