I Used To Be A Normal.
Permalink  

 

As a human being, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me "Privileged", a racist & responsible for slavery.

 

I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself.

 

I went to high school, paid my way thru college, earned a degree, & have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was "advantaged.

 

I am heterosexual, which according to "gay" folks, now makes me a homophobe.

 

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.

 

I am older than 60, making me a useless person who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

 

I think & I reason and I doubt much of what the "main stream" media tells me, which makes me a "right-wing conspiracy nut.

 

I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive Australian culture, making me a xenophobe.

 

I believe in hard work, fair play and fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

 

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.

 

I believe in the defense and protection of Australia for and by all citizens, now making me a militant.

 

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!

 

If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which restroom to use...and I gotta go more FREQUENTLY!

And I call myself an Australian, happily born in Tasmania and proud of it. Now I apparently have to prefix my birth place with " Something Australian " or any other place in the world. I wanted to come here but now wish to be treated differently because of my discarded origin.

As for Loos, there is now a good app.

This is just a pile of bigoted trash dressed up as a joke.

As a human being, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me 'Privileged', a racist & responsible for slavery.

Are you talking about the Kanakas?

I went to high school, paid my way thru college, earned a degree, & have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was 'advantaged.
Obviously your degree wasn't in English literature. BTW, here in Oz it's called "university".

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
OK, so the term may be used offensively, but so what?

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/infidel

n.
1. An unbeliever with respect to a particular religion, especially Christianity or Islam.
2. One who has no religious beliefs.
3. One who doubts or rejects a particular doctrine, system, or principle.

I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive Australian culture, making me a xenophobe.
You must be an American immigrant then.

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath.
Obviously your college education didn't teach you the meaning of the word.

I believe in the defense and protection of Australia
Over here we call it "defence".

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!
You're an American pretending to be Australian.

If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which restroom to use
So you're LGTBI?

BTW, we call them "toilets".
