If the NRA stuck to gun ownership training and education they would probably have a lot more support from the population, but venturing into these sorts of discussions let's everyone know they're no longer merely interested in guns but in social-politics.

In #TrumpNation if you're not white you're not Right.

Please tell me more about how "The Left" is all about identity/culture politics when the gun people are angry enough about a cartoon train from Africa to make a video about it.

Go ahead and explain away all of the shitty outrage over someone who isn't white as a sheet being cast in The Witcher for Netflix while you're at it.

We won't even talk about the last five years of Star Wars bullshit.

Hiro, the train from Japan with clearly Japanese facial features and voice, has been a visitor to the Island for years. Ashima and Rajiv visit from India. Carlos from Mexico. All with facial features from their respective regions, with dialogue usually including some culture and history.

But the show announces a train with a lady name coming from Kenya and suddenly it's a culture war on television. And then they immediately retreat into snarky "I had no idea Thomas was so racist because it was so white" nonsense.

I got mad about Thomas the Tank Engine today, so I guess it worked.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
