You wanna know a sure fire way to know that your dumb as all fuck? Believe that theres only ever 2 sides to any story or conflict. And that what you believe, the other side believes the polar opposite.

The amount of Americans who dont know that the Muslims and Christians worship the same god, is staggering. The God of Abraham, the same god. You wanna know who says its not the same god? Evangelicals and Muslim terrorists. Isnt that funny? But heres the thing, not all Christians are evangelical. And not all republicans are Christian. And not all democrats are atheists. Both conservatives and liberals can and often do share views on women reproductive rights, gun safety, science, and whole host of other topics.

But for some reason, team sports mentality rules. Being conservative means you support everything that the very worst conservative supports. And being liberal means you support whatever the very worst liberal supports. Which, I should point out, is "minor loving persons"... So maybe, next time youre ready to grab your pitchfork and judge a group by its worst member, maybe take a look around and see who's in your gang first. And then ask if its fair that without evidence, you get tarred with that same brush...

This has got to be bait. Put the crack pipe down brother.

This sounds like Grok slowly preparing to be MechaHitler again. Seriously though this somehow seems like it’s AI generated.

Mechastraisand, get it right, bitch! ;)

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago

It is bait. Im baiting you to not be a moron.

Take it, take the bait. Go on. Take it.

Don't judge a group by their worst members, but absolutely do judge them by their leaders.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (2 children)

So all Americans are paedo protectors... I mean, thats what youre saying, right? Right?

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Okay, sure, I should say a "voluntarily associated group". Just because you were born on some dirt that a government claims doesn't mean you share values with that government's leaders.

But yeah, if you voluntarily put "Republican" on anything associated with your identity, yeah - you are a pedo protector.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Thats you changing the parameters of your own argument. I say American. You dont like that I said American, yet give exactly zero fucks about the republicans who arent MAGA as you tar them with the same brush that is. That the folly of taring everyone with the same brush. You only look at one thing about them, and then slap other things on to them with no evidence.

Theres videos online of trans women jerking off in public toilets. Pornhub, onlyfans, whatever. Huge vast sections with just this content. So, when you say that you support trans rights, which includes trans woman using womens toilets, are you siding with the only fans girls who are rubbing one out next to other women and girls while they pee and poo?

See how quickly any topic can be turned into a complicated mess? And that just because you say something like "trans women shouldnt be using womens toilets" doesnt automatically mean they are saying what you think they are saying. Any topic can be complicated, and any topic can come from ideas and experiences that you may not have had or considered. If all you knew about trans woman using public toilets was these videos, you might think the same thing. And you hope, that someone would take the time to have a conversation with you. Maybe give you other perspectives.

Being American doesnt make you Republican, and being Republican doesnt make you MAGA, and being MAGA doesnt mean you support paedophiles. Take that popular video of John McCain when he was running for president. Some woman slagging off Obama, and John was quick as fuck to cut her off and tell her that Obama was a good man that he just happened to disagree with on some issues. This is how its supposed to be. Not all this extremist team sports politics. You can 100% be friends with someone who you dont agree on all issues with. Its not hard. You just have to respect people, and judge them by the content of their character. Not their skin, not whats between their legs, or who they love. Just WHO they are.

I mean, we dont agree here, right? But I dont think youre a bad guy, I hope you dont think I am. Neither of us are calling each other names, or throwing toys or anything like that. We're just having a conversation... like civil people do. And I think thats pretty cool.

Are you okay?

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Oh dear. Oh well, take care, bud.

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago

No no no, you see the other capitalist party is the only reason this thing that we, the working class, all want and the politicians and their friends dont want didnt happen. If youd just vote harder, they'd do it.

"And being liberal means you support whatever the very worst liberal supports. Which, I should point out, is “minor loving persons”"

Which prominent liberals support "minor loving persons?" Name three.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What if I dont name any, and you stop looking for a reason to be a cunt to strangers? How would that be?

[–] SpookyLights@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Lol how is asking you to back up your statement being a cunt? But it certainly is pretty cunty to deflect when asked to back up your bullshit.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Because THAT wasnt my point. And only a cunt would look at that small part of what I said, and then jump on it like a spoiled child does a new bed. Everything I wrote there, and you think you "got me"... You are truly everything wrong with people on line. Enjoy the nightmare fuel of your own making. Im sure its just a lovely place to be...

[–] SpookyLights@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So you made some shit up, got it.

[–] PlasmaTrout@lemmy.wtf -1 points 6 days ago

What defines "so" liberal? If you put in front if me a list of issues, I tend to lean liberal on more than half, leftist on a few and conservative on very few.
