For people that complain about how easily offended leftists are, they sure do get offended a lot.

No, Chet, I don't give a shit about the sexy M&M. No Helen, kids aren't using litter boxes.

I hate conservatives, but I hate "centrists" most of all.

As Tom Lehrer once said: if you don't have anything to say, the least you can do is shut up.

Especially when they get around other chuds.

One of my last jobs was surveying and doing site plans for new places it was cool because I got to be outside a lot, lots of the time on undeveloped lots so it was walking around in the woods.

The not cool part is my boss who I worked with pretty much all day every day was 100% fox news stereotype. Every time we got in his truck it was fox business the entire time. He'd come in I. The morning and ask if I'd heard about how Clinton personally hacked Trump tower and was going to jail or some such bullshit.

But the worst part was as we were driving around anytime he saw somebody he knew, which was pretty much constantly between the area we covered and the number of constructiin companies around, he would literally have the exact same "conversations" half a dozen times a day. Where for 20 minutes they would complain about some completely made up horseshit, then tie that into how it's all because of minorities and women, then move onto how everybody was an idiot except for them because they k ew the soluti0n was more bigotry and cruelty and everybody else was too dumb or weak to say it.

Like half their day is just regurgitating the exact things they heard on the radio or TV to each other, over and over and over again.

CHUDs: “The rest of the world just can’t admit us white men are natural leaders of humanity and naturally are able to run everything super well. Everything would be perfect if I was the boss of everyone.”

Runs a business where they ARE the boss! Guess what? Still problems there I’m guessing

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Yea got laid off cus he didn't have enough business coming in.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with him adding a clause into contracts (again, for surveying undeveloped properties) where if you didn't support the 2nd ammendment and trump he wouldn't work for you.

Now I'm working for a company run by normal people and doing jobs with 100x the budget.

it seems like this is how they deal with a continuous load of cognitive dissonance

The side-effects of being a US vassel state.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are so easily set off lol. They'll complain about mass immigration or whatever and you can just be all "Maybe we should have open borders. Our country is rich enough we can afford to allocate some tax dollars for anyone who comes here," which will lead to them becoming absolutely unhinged. Funny stuff.

Even better when you do what they do with concern trolling and sealioning but leftwing. They'll know what you're doing but can't call you out on it without exposing themselves.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago

I love using right wing tactics, particularly ones that got started in 2013 and look for any of them inadvertently teaching me how to defeat their little I’m-not-touching-you rhetorical mind games.

Besides, if these are the tactics that gamergaters used to win in 2014, I’m going to use the winner’s strategies.

For people that tell trans people that they "make it their entire personality," they sure do struggle to shut the fuck up about my gender more than I even do.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Also I've never seen a trans person get out of their massive vehicle they paid 100k for for attention covered in half a dozen bumper stickers about how if you aren't trans they should be able to shoot you flying multiple giant trans flags in the back of it wearing a trans hat and a shirt that says "yea, I'm fucking trans, if you've got a problem with that fuck you and your feelings and your whole familly"

But I pass three different houses that fit that description for Trump in a 30 minute drive to work.

[–] BGDelirium@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

"and a shirt that says "yea, I'm fucking Trump-"

wut

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

You could slap that shirt on a Facebook add from the group "non woke veterans for trump" and make bank

[–] miz@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

kinda want to feed your first paragraph into an image generator

EDIT: what I should have said is, "I want to comission this from an artist" but the bazinga is all around me

[–] sisatici@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

Lol chuds talk about gender and transition vay more than any trans people here

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Many cis people make their gender their whole personality too, it’s just socially acceptable to do so

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 day ago

Every accusation a confession and such

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Centrists annoy me more because I think it’s more binary than people wanna believe. You are either a fascists or you aren’t. Centrists straddle the line so that they can claim they were on the correct side of it at any given moment with minimal effort.

No Helen, kids aren't using litter boxes.

They fucking should, why are human children so useless that someone else needs to stick their hand in their butt?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago

Liberals are in a similar box because chuds at least are aware of the fact most of their political goals are based on hating minorities and doing stuff just to piss off Liberals even if it doesn't benefit them.

Liberals are just as bloodthirsty when it comes to minorities and they don't even realize that they're reflexsively punching left while defending nazis anytime a progressive suggests they stand for something, except they also act completely morally superior the whole time too.

[–] bortsampson@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

kids aren't using litter boxes Please tell me someone believes this. I must know.

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

it’s a mixture of https://redsails.org/false-witnesses/ and the real fact that schools in the u.s have buckets of litter in classrooms for student use during school shooter lockdowns

it’s not wokeness that has litter in classrooms, it’s mass shootings

[–] bortsampson@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

The kitty litter in the classrooms when I went to school was for when you ate too much candy and barfed. sadness

[–] ChicagoCommunist@hexbear.net 3 points 23 hours ago

Also every maintenance person and mechanic has kitty litter in a closet somewhere because it's great for cleaning up oil spills

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Many people believe it, including several people I know. They say it's to cater to kids who think they're cats because they have slippery slope brain and think accepting trans people means we're also starting to consider otherkin types as normal. It's like the old homophobic schtick about how allowing gay marriage will lead to people marrying their dogs.

As someone else pointed out, the only grain of truth is that classrooms are keeping kitty litter on hand, but it's for if kids get confined to a classroom for an extended period of time due to a mass shooting.

[–] bortsampson@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

This is considerably more depressing of an explanation than I was expecting. I was hoping conservatives believed it was a liberal woke child rearing technique from tiktok or something. Like Alkaline water or breast feeding babies till they are a teenager. I guess I should just default to assuming it's always because evil.

[–] DrCrustacean@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

It was a big rumor in the summer of 22 iirc. It died down a bit once kids started going back to school but it was a mainstream conservative talking point for several months

[–] witheyeandclaw@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 day ago

One of my friends got hit with this from his sister at his last family Thanksgiving dinner. People buy it up with all the rest.
