Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others
What has this got to do with being conservative?
It's just someone being an ass, I don't understand how their place on the political spectrum even gets thought about.
I find this a lot on social media. How there is such venom towards whatever the other side is that it becomes all encompassing.
Or am I totally missing something here?
Edit: the American masses don't like their world view being questioned it seemed.
It's not just "anyone being an ass is conservative!" This type of misogyny is very much a conservative thing. They've made it part of their ethos.
Right, but the post didn't mention anything political, so why bring it up? I find the obsession with US politics tiring.
Everything is political. Misogyny is political.
I guess if you lived here, experiencing the speed run into authoritarianism, you'd feel tired, but also a bit raw and sensitive about this shit. Unless you're one of the fuckos that seem to be cheering that same speed run.
Certainly not cheering on. I'm amazed at how fast things turned for the worse. Back in Reddit days the sheer fuckton of American politics posts and comments were overwhelming. Today it's full on ludicrous speed.
But I get it. Your comment makes me reflect. I'm not living there, I'm not experiencing it first hand.
As a human race we are fucked. I'm watching the "ww2 in colour" series at the moment, and seeing the rampaging and senseless death makes me sad. But hearing how the world came together to push back an opposite force gave me hope. If the same thing happened today, I don't think we as a race would be capable of such a feat again, and mostly because of all the infighting.
The world isn't dying. It's being killed.
Primarily by a few hundred people.
I agree with you completely. I wasn't trying to imply you were cheering this on. Just this shit administration and it's idiot supporters. I tend to look at "world news" vs "US news" just because I'm tired of this shit too.
