   Privileged white guy who runs toot.community publicly declares “outrage culture is slowly taking over my Mastodon timeline… outrage about protests, police, climate, big tech… I don’t care.”

   I call him out.

   Other privileged white folks: “But did you hug him first? Discuss it over tea?”

   Another black man was just ruthlessly murdered by police in the US. Climate change is an existential threat. Big Tech is destroying democracy.

   But you’re upset I didn’t coddle your fellow white guy?

   Fuck you.

     @aral My problem is that I don't have anywhere to go at this point that's not depressing. Peace doesn't seem to be changing anything, and I'm not about to go out and start killing the people who are making the world worse and seem to be immune to the justice system. It's not wrong to want to be happy for two seconds.

     @Psychroclasm Not at all. You have the tools to mute and block and filter.

     What you’re saying is very different to publicly proclaiming “I don’t care” and attempting to shame those who do by accusing them of perpetuating “outrage culture”.

     Was that the "I just want to hear nice things about people's hobbies" guy? Because I unfollowed that guy, and managed not to tell him to fuck off.
