Umbra ( @Umbra@kbin.social ) 4•11 months agoThat’s just an asshole. Conservatives are usually polite, kind, warm and emphatic.
OctopusKurwa ( @OctopusKurwa@lemm.ee ) 42•11 months agoEmpathetic? Lmao wtf. Modern conservatism may as well be defined by it’s complete lack of empathy for any and all marginalized groups.
style99 ( @style99@kbin.social ) 34•11 months agolol wow
Yeah, I just love how kind polite and “emphatic” people like Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, and Glenn Beck are.
Umbra ( @Umbra@kbin.social ) 1•11 months agoI dont know about the other two but Alex Jones is a big softie

interolivary ( @interolivary@beehaw.org ) 8•11 months agoHey they don’t hate only non-whites. They also hate LGBT+ folks, cOmMuNiStS (ie. anyone left of the Strasserites), and generally anything they don’t understand which is a lot
floofloof ( @floofloof@lemmy.ca ) 7•11 months agoLet’s give them credit: they’re bigger assholes if you aren’t white, but they’re still assholes even if you are.

Ahhh hahahaha now that’s funny. Pepperidge farm remembers
SamboT ( @SamboT@lemm.ee ) 2•11 months agoAsshole in 2023.
The mental energy you guys put in to hating huge groups of people that can’t be defined with any one characteristic is nonsensical.
Guns4Gnus ( @Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca ) 12•11 months agoSo long as Conservatives politicians rely on militant ignorance and a desire to shit on the less fortunate, and Conservative voters buy up their dogwhistles and hatred for minorities with a spoon, they can deal with people calling it out as they see it.
Oh, and the Conservatives that say “But I just voted for the tax cuts” really don’t look to good saying “I think that militant bigotry isn’t a dealbreaker for me saving money.”
SamboT ( @SamboT@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoTheoretically, a person who aligns with terrible things that are promoted by terrible people in positions of power are terrible. Sure. Why do we believe this truck owning person is conservative? Because they are “protesting” electric vehicles? Because they seem uneducated or proudly ignorant?
So if we associate a stupid person with “deduct a point from conversatives” without any basis for knowing they are conservative, are we educating ourselves about conservatives or are we making a reality that is comfy and understandable because we ourselves are stupid?
floofloof ( @floofloof@lemmy.ca ) 15•11 months agoWhy do we believe this truck owning person is conservative? Because they are “protesting” electric vehicles? Because they seem uneducated or proudly ignorant?
That’s about it, yes.
So if we associate a stupid person with “deduct a point from conversatives” without any basis for knowing they are conservative
Seeing them use a giant pickup truck to ruin the day of electric car owners simply for the sake of pissing them off and asserting their dominance is a pretty good basis for knowing they’re conservative. The first time I encounter an asshole pickup driver who hates electric cars and loves to spoil the day of anyone who drives one, yet who embraces left-wing politics, I will change my mind about the “right wing” stereotype. Until then, it has a pretty solid hit rate.
SamboT ( @SamboT@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoWell good luck finding such an instance when people’s identities are predetermined by your internet feed.
Guns4Gnus ( @Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca ) 7•11 months agoYour refusal to admit reality must be so endearing among your friends.
SamboT ( @SamboT@lemm.ee ) 1•11 months agoIt’s just that people are inherently bad at making statistical guesses. I don’t have any assumptions about this hypothetical person, other than I disagree with blocking charging stations.
And I’m not sure what value is realized with circlejerk hatred, for you or for anyone else. I would argue that it’s a waste of time. Everything we choose to spend our time on accumulates and makes us who we are. It scares me to become a bitter devisive old man because of imaginary rage bait that trains me to associate hatred with a group of people.
Guns4Gnus ( @Guns4Gnus@lemmy.ca ) 4•11 months agoYou keep on making excuses, but you keep ignoring that there is only one political party that’s in a tizzy about gas stoves and stating that rolling coal is a form of free speech.
You can make all the excuses you want… but your chosen political views* show that you hate the reputation that they have spent the last 22 years reinforcing.
