It's weird that this article discusses "liberal smugness," like this camp isn't filled to the brim with smugness in and of itself.

Because it's literally the smuggest shit on the planet when a Black kid gets shot by a cop for some bullshit, said cop gets away with it, I'm mad about it, and the comment I get is "well hang on, let's not JUMP to conclusions or anything, I'm sure there was good reason he got away with it scott-free."

Fuck, was that the smuggest, "I am a White guy that has no idea what the fuck I'm talking about" comment I've ever received. And let me tell you, I've received a lot. It was like, "let me play 'devil's advocate' on a controversial subject that has nothing to do with me" smug.

SO. FUCKING. SMUG.

I can't remember who posted it, though.

...

Aww shit, yeah I can.
