Literally the second sentence. Your generation has this lazy cancellation thing that you do where you tune shit out just because you don’t want to put in the work to understand.

Nope, that also wasn't an admission that you did the same thing you accused me of doing. Also, how am I able to 'cancel' anyone here? I'm not a mod. I'm not persecuting you. My god, what a whiner.

Like I said. One of your generation’s main form of cancellation is tuning-out. It’s what your brain does after being fried by an endless stream of bite-sized social media content. You tune in to your echo chambers and listen to more of the same propaganda. You should have gone through all the dystopian novels in school. It would have helped explain what’s happening.

What is my generation? This should be good.

You strike me as Gen-Z.

Oh, I strike you as Gen-Z, do I? You were certain a post ago. Which is it, a guess or a certainty?

A wager

Okay, what do you wager than I'm Gen-Z? I accept PayPal.

Wagers don’t need to include money. I simply wager that you are Gen-Z. I could be wrong, but it is a strong assertion. I figured you would say otherwise if I was wrong. I’m off the the gym, but am happy to continue debating later.

Coward.

I didn’t say that I had high confidence in that assessment; just enough to roll with it and possibly get corrected. Also, my dive logs would paint a different picture than cowardice. This is more like I don’t take stupid bets. I can hypothesize though that you are likely not a millennial unless at the tail-end because you immediately went to criticize my choice of language as not being PC and/or being a form of dog whistling. I then swooped in with context. It’s a writing trick to catch the reader’s attention.

If you wanted to get corrected and didn't have confidence, you shouldn't have made a declaration as if it was a fact. I doubt you'll apologize for it though.

Also, you pretty much admitted that when you said 'ghetto,' you meant 'black,' which is the very definition of dog whistling.

Sowell is clearly and Uncle Tom/Ruckus by your standards because he refers to black culture as ghetto culture frequently. I was just citing an esteemed black author.

As an aside. Does it trigger you if I appropriate things? I think I have the itis from breakfast. I’m still hung over from taco Tuesday margs. Today is winesday, so will cook Italian with obnoxious pizzeria music.
