Psaki Says Coal and Natural Gas - NOT Frozen Wind Turbines Caused Power Grid Failure in Texas Cold Snap (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit | by Cristina Laila
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday said coal and natural gas – NOT frozen wind turbines – caused the power grid failure in this week’s Texas cold snap.

I was going to like this comment with the 'haha' smiley, but then I thought about the forum members who aren't straight and at least one who has very bravely gone completely trans. How do they feel about these kind of gibes - all in good fun or seriously not?
I've noticed a lack of posting by a member who has identified as of native ethnicity: "As a person in the Caribbean of mixed ancestry with brown skin, and red-brown hair, our society has been formed to continue the divisions among people, even within the same family." This person last posted June 11, 2020. I can't help but wonder if the general tone/direction of forum discussion is a bit too much for some of our members and has lead to their departures?
I have to admit that the stories of Renee Richards and Elizabeth Carmichael served to give me new perspective on the trans issue. How fine is the line between political correctness overkill and just being considerate/compassionate of all persons different from ourselves? Plus, it's been established that wicked humor is one of the few tools available to counter all the over-the-top far-Left posturing bombarding us daily. Is there a middle ground there somewhere that appropriately offends but isn't offensive - or am I overthinking this?

Lots of them, yes, but they tend not to be interested in, or particularly fit for, military service. A substantial fraction of gen Z are the polar opposite - these tend to be the ones who would make up the soldier class, however they're unlikely to be welcome in the new woke military.

It's worth keeping in mind that the rough humor found in pseudonymous parts of the internet (and believe me, this forum has nothing on certain other venues) is just about the only way the vast majority of us have of coping with the relentless woke propaganda being rammed down our throats 24/7 from every direction ... which, IRL, you better agree with or else.
So that question of empathy cuts both ways. We're constantly being ordered to prioritize the well-being of minorites of various stripes, regardless of how that affects us. And for many of us, the effects are profoundly negative in terms of strained relationships, diminished professional prospects, and the spiritual toll of constantly biting our tongues. What I'm getting at is, there's precious little evidence of empathy, in the wider culture, for the majority of normal people - it's all one way. Those with secondary characteristics conforming to officially 'protected' or 'diverse' classes would do well to remember that.
Another angle is that, again drawing on my experience in rougher bars on the internet, there are people from minority backgrounds who engage with those groups quite enthusiastically. The key is realizing the distinction between mocking the ideology that elevates secondary characteristics above all other concerns (inevitably implying a degree of mockery of the characteristics themselves), and mocking individuals. If someone identifies so strongly with their secondary characteristics that they take such humor personally, then unfortunately they've - perhaps without realizing it - accepted the premises of that ideology. Which is a deeply ponerized ideology. On the other hand, if they don't so identify, but prioritize opposition to an evil ideology, then they have no reason to be offended, and won't be.
I'm not suggesting that the posters you've mentioned have such issues. It's just as possible that they have other things going on in their lives and are too busy to do more than lurk. I myself come and go, depending, and I'm sure that's true for many.
In any case, were what you bring up to be addressed, it could be done only with a brutal content moderation policy that would have an instant chilling effect.
Final point: if someone does get offended by a joke that isn't personally aimed at them, that's a fantastic opportunity for a mirror to be held up, which can assist them in undoing their programming ... assuming they're willing to do the Work.

military service in the conventional sense yes , but they are highly trained keyboard worriers/gamers and that is how they fight wars these days
You make a lot of very valid points. I guess my inquiry concerns this forum rather than the wider internet. What's coming to mind, interestingly/comically enough, is this classic from the old Seinfeld tv show - aired Feb. 11, 1993:
"We're not gay - not that there's anything wrong with that", became a recurring line (and popular catchphrase) whenever gayness came up! And apparently, the gay community found it as uproariously funny as everyone else. I guess that's the best way to approach these topics and realities some 20+ years later!
Back to our regularly scheduled dystopia:
"I'm Joe Biden, and I forgot this message!"
PSAKI: Biden Won’t Meet World Leaders For ‘A Couple Of Months’ Following Revelation Kamala Is Taking His Phone Calls
"I'm Joe Biden, and I forgot this message!"
The point of the humor, yes it is humor, was that the PTB have to take an ideology to the max and criminalize any opposition to their agenda. It was dirrected at the PTB mindset. Yes they would change the uniforms in order to drive home their point of obedience to the agenda. The humor of it is that this mindset does not exist with non-leftist so it seems outrages behavior to us, but is considered woke by the left.
To your point that such humor maybe offensive seems to be only a one-way street. This is the tool that leftist use against non-leftist to get them to comply and obey. The question is, why can't we laugh at this? Is it because it is too offensive to the left?
Again, I'm not focusing on the wider world - just the forum members who are LGBT. Don't know if any other 'letters' apply within this community. And yes, it is funny and absurd in that these legitimately different people are being used as fodder to promote a worldview that is ultimately harmful to all. The image conjured up of a 'global queer police' sporting rainbow camouflage is hilarious - would Saturday Night Live have ever showcased such a scene - maybe Monty Python or a George Carlin performance? I guess emotionally grounded people of any sexual persuasion can laugh at these kind of things while still knowing the larger picture of gender exploitation isn't funny at all.

We're a very long way from drones being able to replace infantry. Right now drones are just a new form of air power; as was discovered in WWII, when it was believed air power alone was enough to win a war - it isn't, and that hasn't changed.
I get the impression that the younger Generation Z as well as the millennials are exceedingly interested in physical fitness. Isn't most of the clamor involving gyms being closed because of Covid indicative of this? And so many ads on tv for home physical fitness programs/equipment, plus hardcopy fitness magazines in this age of cyber everything! So I guess I'm agreeing with @rrraven -
- and if these types figure out that the really 'new army' wants no part of them, the woke LGBTQIA army will continue to do what all the armies before have done - lose limbs, lose minds, lose lives - die glorious deaths! Because it's never mattered to the PTB who does the actual fighting/dying. Just keep the $$$$ coming! The accounting:
- The Korean War cost the United States $389.81 billion and about 36,000 lives.
- The Vietnam War cost $843.63 billion and 58,220 lives.
- The Persian Gulf War cost $116.6 billion and 383 lives.
- War in Afghanistan cost $910.47 billion and 2,285 lives.
- The Iraq War cost $1.01 trillion and 4,410 lives.
What were the 13 most expensive wars in U.S. history?
With the recent 75th anniversary of D-Day, we are reminded once again of the human cost of freedom and liberty. But what is the financial cost of war?

Winning isn't even really the goal - hasn't even occurred since the Korean War (debatable?) - and soldiers have always been expendable. Think the high command cares about them, much less the PTB that are pulling their strings? So what does it matter if they are soy boys/gals or their heads full of far-left ideology? They'll be cannon fodder like all that have gone before. And minefields will be as deadly to them as they've been all along. In looking at the stats listed above, the costs are even greater if full consideration is given. These words of former General/President Eisenhower on April 16, 1953 - just three months into his presidency - make it clear what those military dollars are NOT buying:
Who can argue with that. And the Geezer-in-chief may launch WWIII any minute as he signs off on authorization to do just that while mumbling, "I don't know what I'm signing" with Dr. Jill massaging his back and whispering "it will be alright - I'm here" . . .
