I did watch the video. He was having a bad day. And the wealthy person he took it out on took it upon themselves to dismantle his life. That's the whole point of being wealthy, after all. You don't have to give a shit about anyone but yourself. And there will be ordinary Joes cheering you on because this world is absolutely fucked.
I wish I could pay someone poorer than you to just follow you around and insult you.
Some people said Amy Cooper (Central Park "Karen") was having a bad day - I found it telling that the implication being made is that they believe everyone has highly racist tendencies barely contained and all it takes is a case of the Monday's to lie and attempt to sic the police on a person of the wrong complexion. (projection?)
You're going to have to explain why an entitled rich woman abusing her power is equivalent to the driver here.
Both had someone brushing it off as “a bad day”
And yet the more obvious analogy is between the two Karens in these stories, no?
No, full stop. You're trying to compare someone being racist with someone who didn't give a tip big enough for the delivery driver. Reporting someone for verbally abusing you isn't being a Karen, doing something like yelling "fuck you" at a customer because they didn't give you enough extra money is being a Karen.
Central park lady committed a crime ho for which she was not prosecuted.
And? I’m just pointing out people “having a bad day” to excuse poor behavior
I don't see how these stories are being mixed together.
He said fuck you which is a dick move
She made a false police report which is a crime.
Putting these two together is making a false equivalency
I’m not comparing the acts at all which are clearly very different in severity, I’m highlighting that some people tried to excuse the behavior of both as merely having “a bad day” while I am of the opinion these are clear signs of who they are as a person rather than a “normal” (I know that’s subjective) person simply having “a bad day” - it was said in one of the above comments I replied to earlier which is why my comments all hinge on the “bad day” excuse.
