        Guaranteed they just plucked a woke phrase out of the ether and figured it’d do just fine.

        It perfectly describes what this person is doing - not caring to solve the problem, just to move it along so it’s not in their own back yard.

          Except that’s not what they were implying. They were implying that there’s already “race wars” going on in the world and if he really really wanted to fight in one, he doesn’t have to look too far.

          If I were you, I think I would have taken the loss on not knowing the meaning of NIMBY over showing that my reading compression was lacking.

          Even then, who the fuck wants a war in their neighborhood?

            Shit like this is not conducive to changing anyone’s viewpoint and just makes you sound like an asshole

          I knew what it meant, but the person I was responding to appeared that they didn’t. Then they replied and did know the meaning but used it wrong due to a reading comprehension fail.
