    About 6 months ago a Karen accused me of snapping a photo of her children. She became irate. I immediately went up to her and showed her all the images on my camera so she would calm down. It was as if I was talking to a brick. She kept on continuing asking why I took a picture of her children. I told her I did not again and she became even more worked up and said she was going to call the police. I told her I was the police for 30 years and am now retired. I showed her my retired badge but it did not calm her. She actually went across the street and got a police officer from a Sephora store which keeps on getting robbed by you know who, and tracked me down. At that point I had already walked away from her not knowing her intentions.
    I explained to the cop I had just taken a photo of the accordion player near her kids but did not film them which is not illegal anyway. They detained me for almost 15 minutes. They ran my identification to verify I was a former police officer. When I told one of the officers I thought she needed to be medicated by her hysterical behavior, he told me to be quiet. I was absolutely shocked I was being treated that way. It was truly bizarre.
    Karen's are amongst the most dangerous people in our country. They are illogical and are hysterical. They cannot be reasoned with. After that incident I vowed I will never be polite and take the high ground with a Karen. If they want to get hysterical, I will be glad to give it right back to them. What's the point if you cannot reason with them. You may as well have some fun.

      I'm amazed at how many people in this country were aghast at the idea of defunding the police. If the police in your town have time for nonsense, then you have too many police, it's the most obvious thing in the world to me. I know one city in Ohio allowed their police budget to bloat to ridiculous levels, everybody who lived there was pulling down multiple traffic tickets a year just to pay for it all, they were employed just to pull people over for going 30 in a 25 zone so that those tickets could then pay for their employment. That city put a resolution to halve the police budget on the ballot, passed overwhelmingly, and guess what? The nonsense went away. For 99.9% of the land in the US, you don't need a heavy police presence, but we act like everywhere is a Baltimore slum anyway and it just makes everybody hate society and hate the police more.

    I’m the closing manager of a fast food restaurant. Have been for the past 10 years. Karens are an unstoppable force like no other. They can suck the energy out of a building in seconds over the smallest things. They cannot be reasoned with or spoken to using logic. I’ve watched them reduce teenage girls and once a grown man to tears over the price of tomatoes on their sandwich, the seating arrangement in the dining room, the scent of the hand soap in the bathroom. You name it, they will complain about it. Their worldview and the things they actually care about are so marginal and unimportant. It’s impossible to have a healthy and growing society with as much hatred and shortsightedness as Karens spread on a daily basis. Hopefully, this isn’t a mindset that is passed onto their children and that we all come back to our senses soon. Good video, Rudyard.

That someone spread a rumor that Erin was being t o u c h e d, just so that someone could date me, instead of Erin. And yes, that girl accusers mom was also pretty nasty attitude-wise.

    When I worked as a bridal seamstress, I had a whole family of Karens tear me to pieces for altering the bride’s dress exactly the way she wanted it. Then, when I fixed all the “problems” they complained about , they found more problems, including on areas of the dress that I hadn’t touched. They went so far as to throw a fit over a barely, visible pin-hole at the neckline of the dress where they had asked me to remove to piece of lace appliqué that was covering it. Needless to say, the bridal shop gave them their alterations for free, which is exactly what they wanted. That is really what it all comes down to: entitled people wanting shit for free.

      As a middle aged, middle class, blonde woman it’s my biggest fear to be called a Karen. Recently at a Mexican restaurant my take out order was incomplete. They charged me for a meal and didn’t put it in the bag. I went to the counter and calmly showed them the receipt and that the item wasn’t in the bag. They couldn’t speak English. I found myself getting a little bit louder and speaking slow to try to get it worked out, but just then another customer stared at me as if I was getting crazy. I pictured this person filming the interaction, claiming that I was being a Karen when I wasn’t, and ruining my life. It was at that point that I said “You know what? Forget it.” And so I ordered and paid for the meal for my husband that they failed to put in the bag, waited for them to make it, and left. So I paid for it twice because I would rather get taken advantage of than have myself plastered all over social media. It’s an ageist and sexist trope, but that’s cool as long as a few people get some lulz, right?

This legal apparatus, serving as a substitute for trust, entails what economists call ‘transaction costs.’ Widespread distrust in a society, in other words, imposes a kind of tax on all forms of economic activity, a tax that high-trust societies do not have to pay.”

      The envy and VM also reduces their empathy and compassion, while also increasing stress... which causes them to be far more likely to be... rude (to put it mildly) themselves.
      The VM also makes them feel entitled to things, as a form of recompense, and that feeling of being *entitled* basically negates any feeling of gratitude or appreciation.

    I work in a pub, and I can smell the Caren when she or a group come up to order: they’ll tell you how exactly how to prepare their drink, or they’ll order a simple drink but tell you in a convoluted or unnecessary way. At minimum they love to make nuisance with their presence, and will throw a long order at your head with as many words as possible. My remedy is for the “explaining how to prepare the drink” is ignore them and prepare the drink perfectly anyway. Waste their breath. Then if they order a simple drink with lots of words I repeat the order to them in a simpler way and confirm. And if they come at me with a massive order, I interrupt them half way and say “ok let me get the first drinks and I’ll come back to you”. In the end they all just try to be a nuisance, make their presence an inconvenience, because they feel good and are self entitled. In general all the baby boomers and Karen’s are self entitled, arrogant, superiority complex driven, and often disdainful of your presence even though you didn’t say a single word to them .

And as you said they say everything in a purposefully convoluted confusing way so you come off as not understanding and not knowing what you are doing so it gives them a right to demand a manager or treat you as if you are stupid. And for how important these small things are to them, never will they tell you how thankful they are that you helped them. They will come back and continue to do the same bull crap.

    I remember when I was 18 and worked retail at my local Target. There was this small clique of Karen’s who worked in the customer service/returns department. They were all middle aged (40-55), overweight and unmarried.
    We had a clipboard with a “customer pick up” sheet that was used for outbound products that customers would order and pick up later in person. I once left the clipboard on the table above the slot it normally goes in because I was leaving work and was in a rush, a simple mistake.
    One of the Karen’s then yelled at me from across the store, in front of customers for me to walk all the way back and move it 6 inches down into the slot when she was standing right there. I asked her “would you mind putting the clipboard in the slot for me? I would appreciate it, I have to leave right now.” To which she replied, in front of probably 20 customers “IM NOT YOUR *SLAVE* GET OVER HERE AND DO IT YOURSELF!”
    My coworkers and I were in complete shock. She likened having to move and item 6 inches downwards into a slot below the desk to literal slavery. Even the customers were in disbelief over this, you could see it in their faces.

    My company is run almost exclusively by women, and it shows. It’s odd to me that on one hand, we like to tout “female leadership,” yet on the other hand women seem to pride themselves on having bigger balls than the men when they reach the top. This as they push feel-good nonsense (like pronouns, for instance) that further erodes any ability (or willingness) to admit inherent differences between sexes. I don’t want to hear the “I am woman, hear me roar” nonsense if you’re at the same time saying with a straight face that a biological man is a woman, just cuz he says so.
    What we see unfolding around us is what happens when nature’s balance is upset. We’re $40 trillion in debt (on the books) with pocketbooks stuffed full of fiat currency. We have neutered men at the exact wrong moment in history.

    If encountering a Karen, here is the tactic to win.
    It is called, Out Karenning The Karen.
    Okay. So, essentially this involves preemptive judicial and bureaucratic attacks on the Karen.
    If the Karen is a coworker, and the Karen has revealed itself as more than just a nuisance, complain, file an official complaint with an official documented paper trail and undeniable transactions with leadership.
    This puts the Karen on the backfoot, and anything it would normally do would appear to be retaliation.
    If the Karen is a stranger, customer, or other. Make a police report. Request a protection order.
    The system has to document this and go through the motions. Again, similar results. The system assumes the first to complain is the victim, the accused is the assailant.
    Anything the accused does or says or claims is a defensive retaliatory reaction for what must be a legitimate claim.
    Tips: falsely claim to be a member of a protected group, and that the Karen challenged or insulted this group that you are a part of.
    These preemptive measures confuse the entire system and put it on the backfoot, reacting to a stimulus it is not familiar with, a man, becoming a Karen.

    I used to be "the manager" for tv and Internet tech support and I LOVED it when a Karen would demand to speak with me because i Was the LAST manger they would want to interact with. I don't like people as a general rule so whenever I would encounter a Karen I would actively go out of my way to do the exact opposite of what they wanted unless it was directly against the rules my job required. I almost never was as I pretty much had free reign to decide how to deal with things On more than one occasion the Karen in question would threaten to cancel their business and I NEVER argued. In fact I would just tell them that I understood and to please hold on while I got my cancellations team on the line. I'd get the rep I needed and, with Karen on the line, advise the rep what had happened and that the customer has decided to cancel so please process an immediate cancellation Without question Karen would go on with "you're not even going to TRY to stop me from cancelling?" to which I'd respond with "You made your demands and I told you my options. You made it clear that my options were not acceptable and you were going to cancel so here we are. I have an agent ready to cancel your account and ask you need to do it clearly state that you wish to cancel and we will take care of everything else".

    WOW this was mind-blowing! Linking bearuocracy and Karens as having a symbiotic relationship is pretty deep.
    On a simpler note, I heard one theory about the cause of Karens is the lack of the master/servant concept in the modern middle class. In ye olde days, wealthy people had servants they could order around and generally abuse for a sense of power and superiority. Nowadays, the wealth class Karens are apart of don't have the "privilege" of servants, so they turn to abusing minimum wage workers for that same sense of power and superiority. In both eras, the "servant" is forced to obey to maintain their income and the Karens thrive on that absolute power.

    We are all watching the decay of our society. So many feel utterly helpless against the ever encroaching debauchery. So, too many women (and men) feel compelled to exert pressure in the form of complaining against whatever ‘wrong’ they believe they can. Remarkably, that will always be something petty or insignificant, as those are the things that are easy, or worse (and more often), imagined. These Karens will never tackle the big things, the real problems, because that would be too hard, and would require actual work, thought, energy, sacrifice, and risk…risk of loss of position, status, finances, and security.

      Karens precede modern Feminism. Karen is a new name for an old phenomenon. The busybodies with power and status and a taste for bullying people have long been around. The Women's Christian Temperance Union was an alliance of Karens. They managed to delay votes for women by associating political women with prudish cruelty. People in the late 19th century spent years in jail for defining the will

      No. The Karen is someone who is weak. Someone who deeply feels nobody is caring about what she wants , who feels the businesses around her are out to get her, who’s only power is the weapons of the weak: telling the manager. If she was truly empowered she would be different . Karen is simply the modern version of the traditional woman who would always have to tell her husband- now she tells the manager but it’s the same weak tactic

The guy knows what he talks about, he is well-read, he is really a specialist on a plethora of topics. Above all he has a sane mind which is refreshing in this era of decay.

    Great analysis. By the way, there is a whole genre of police video-cams about "Karen's" making such a ruckus that they get arrested. These are "real" situations. Usually, these are women who are generally insufferable but, when they drink too much, cause chaos. Some of the most amazing encounters take place in airports at the ticket counters or on the actual airplanes.

      Men do that as well, especially in the military. The first week, they behave well, but then, they start to test boundaries until the instructor starts to push back. It has nothing to do with gender or age, it's about authoritiy in general. Nothing strange about that. People in the lower rank just want to have their best quality of life within the boundaries of the rules that were forced upon them.

      Junior enlisted look to senior enlisted to show them the boundaries, don't they? The E-1s want to know how to behave and what is appropriate behavior. That's not an accident. The senior enlisted are the father figures to the recruits, aren't they?

      That's why kids need to be allowed to run loose a bit, @@henryneubert7798. That's the real point of college, you know. So they can test the boundaries in a relatively safe environment. An environment where a mistake isn't going to destroy your entire future. That's how society used to work. Now kids in college are treated like infants because they never learned the basics of how to function in a society in their homes so they cannot be trusted unsupervised.
      Of course, these days everything you do and say and some of what you just think is recorded for all of eternity and what used to be a silly and regrettable mistake is now saved away for later use until someone decides you should be destroyed. I wonder why children are so depressed?
      Who disciplines children in a family? Everyone knows the answer to that question but you're not allowed to say it out loud, are you? Why do you suppose that is? Maybe because the answer goes against the intentional destruction of the family. Because the truth is the enemy of total control.

    • @phatpat63
      @phatpat63 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      @@henryneubert7798 You completely missed the point. You're talking about an environment with very tight boundaries, so of course people will find that constrictive and have to acclimate. Similar story with children where their capabilities, boundaries, and standards they're held to are constantly shifting, as they should be.
      The point is that while men will find some social equilibrium where they start operating under their own restraint if left to their own devices, because that's necessary for male hierarchies to function at all, women have no such limit, and no such restraint. There is no point of privilege, permissiveness, or special dispensation that will ever be sufficient for them to stop pushing for more, and this will go on indefinitely until they hit some external constraint. From an evolutionary perspective, where a woman's reproductive success hinges entirely on how much resources she can get out of men, and how free she is to chose her own sexual partners, it makes perfect sense for her to push for everything she can get. But without the natural constraints of how much resources are actually available, and what the men directly around her are actually willing to put up with, this spirals completely out of control into a wholly dysfunctional and abusive system.
      [edit] It's funny, if you watch interviews with men who live in primitive, tribal societies, they all eventually start complaining about how their wives constantly nag them to bring back game that isn't actually available to hunt.
      Trying to say that men are the same in constantly trying to push the boundaries of what they can get away with, regardless of how irrational and self-destructive it is, just isn't in-line with reality.
