To be inured means to be so used to something—usually something unpleasant or difficult—that you are no longer bothered by it. You’ve essentially built up a “thick skin” or become toughened.
I slightly misused it, my bad. It’s usually used in context of “it doesn’t matter” - ie I meant “criticism matters” but you’re right that I didn’t use it strictly.according to the dictionary definition.
I probably just meant “immune” but wasn’t thinking deeply about it.
That’s not what I said and you had to put in a lot of effort to bend it to your will. Obama was a cunt and I didn’t agree with him when he was president but I would even take George W. Bush Jr. over that rotting fuck of a president the US got now.
If all I have are two shoes, one will make my feet hurt and the other will make them bleed, the choice is clear.
Of course I should get better shoes, but maybe that’s not possible in the moment. Compromise is a laughable word in this situation and I agree that the US should be held accountable, but at the moment that’s not possible. It doesn’t matter if you think this is abhorrent or not. Change the system or accept that the lesser evil will be the better choice.
The problem is that in your metaphor, no one even considers repairing or changing the shoes.
if anyone complains about the shoes that make you hurt they yell at you for promoting the shoes that make you bleed.
then next year your shoes have degraded and now you have to choose between shoes that make you bleed and shoes that breal your toes. same thing, no point in fixing them, because bleeding is better than broken toes…
yhea, deportations in chief, mr drone strikes. that’s the best we got in recent history.
Massively better than what’s available now, but still not the best I could wish for. And that Nobel Prize he didn’t deserve neither.
sure but not inured to criticism, that’s meant to be the point… all this
For the other uncultured swines like me:
Okay, now I know the word, but I’m not sure what the sentence means. You mean Obama was open to criticism?

Thanks for the explanation 💕
If I go on trial for murder, I’ll tell the judge I’m innocent just because there are people who did worse crimes?
if I cheat on my wife, it is not a big deal, because some people cheat and beat their wives, so I’m not that bad…
Please, shove that Lesserevilism up the deepest darkest cavity in your body.

But it is pretty clearly the line of thinking you’re trying to support if you have anything to say in the defense of the all time deportation champ.
That must be pretty exhausting, misunderstanding everything.
Ask a Democratic Party voter, they’d be the experts.
The problem is systemic, it isn’t that we have one bad president. they were all bad.
and Americans keep excusing it because “lesser evil”.
it should not be controversial to say Obama belongs in jail next to Trump. although Trump deserves a much longer sentence.

And per your metaphor,
it’s better to go barefoot.
So start fixing and stop crying.
Besides telling people to shut up about genuine issues that need addressed, what the fuck are you doing?
I can give a long list of things I actually do, but I assume you’ll probably say I’m lying.
But what are you doing?
