Common Sense = Radical?
Liberal, Conservative, Libertarian, Anarchist. I like to think that common sense can be found someone among these four labels. However, it seems like common sense in less the norm and more of a radical way of thinking that only the most daring folk would engage in.
But why? Common sense should be exactly what it bloody sounds like, common, available to everyone and simple. And yet in recent years as I have gained more and more of this common sense stuff, people around me have appeared to view me as a more radical soul, someone who is loud and opinionated when it comes to things she feels strongly about.
What a load of codswallop is what I say to that. Applying common sense, reason and logic to every situation I come upon does not make me any kind of ground breaker. If anything all I aim to do is to make sense of the broken turf the enlightened ones who go before be leave behind.
Here are some commonsense statements I have said that have been received as though I were a fundamentalist fucking Christian planning to kill the Pope.
'Islam is a dangerous Religion.'
'I think that religious is cancerous.'
'The Black Lives Matter movement is a fucking terrorist hate group.'
'Feminists are sexist and annoying.'
Social Justice Warriors are racist and annoying.'
'Fuck that girl/guy and her/his pronouns.'
'The Young Turks are regressive scum.'
'Being a fat activist is not an actual thing, an oxymoron and you are just a moron.'
So you tell me, is there anything particularly 'triggering' or 'explosive' about those statements? I don't think so and people who have an abundance of common sense are likely to agree however, since I am not a fucking SJW and I don't like to speak for people, I would be interested to know if anyone agrees or disagrees with me on any of the aforementioned statements.
Let me know, if you dare.
Love,
The Girl in Blue.
