That's quite a rant. But I'm not sure who or what the target of the rant is (i.e. who or what specifically you object to). I suppose I could guess. There's plenty of criticism flying about - and many people objecting to what used to be the norm years ago - so perhaps you've reached some threshold of negativity that's set you off. Some of those norms included outright racism, gay bashing, sexual assault and severe disenfranchisement of some social groups, so those seem to me to be legitimate targets of negative sentiment (in the media or elsewhere) because after decades they still haven't been properly fixed. But, sure, there are (apparently) narrow-minded views being piggy-backed on legitimate concerns. Keep in mind that you may not have been exposed to the negative behaviour that 'people' complain about, but that doesn't make it any less real for the those who cop it every day.

Then again, there's a federal election this weekend, so forgive me for thinking this is a well-timed "side channel" political advertisement.
