‘Karens’ Gone Wild:’ – “Lower Your Expectations”
< < Go Back
Don’t rant about short-staffed stores and supply chain woes.
American consumers, their expectations pampered and catered to for decades, are not accustomed to inconvenience. Rather than living constantly on the verge of throwing a fit, and risking taking it out on overwhelmed servers, struggling shop owners or late-arriving delivery people, we’d do ourselves a favor by consciously lowering expectations.
While they never really went anywhere, Karens and their Karening — white women amplifying and weaponizing their privileges when it comes to exerting their purported moral authorities — are apparently making a serious comeback.
The pandemic seemed to bring them out in hordes before the unfortunate phenomenon died down, but now they’re coming back with a major vengeance.
But one constant throughout it all has been how Karens keep getting immortalized on the viral videos in which they and their racism are unwittingly starring.
