LOL, sooo close and then WHOOSH, totally missed the point
I can taste the irony. Or maybe that’s just blood
“Anyone else think a lot of liberals feel this way?”
/r/Conservative, “Flaired users only.”
…
Damn this is a good one
This is true of every single partisan, anarchist, liberal, conservative, whatever.
And centrists, for that matter.
Especially centrist. “I don’t do anything that feels too extreme”, sure this is based on facts
I’d say it’s true of idiots regardless of their political orientation, yes. But there exist non-idiots who can change their opinion
Some people do form opinions based on reality…
bOtH sIdEs!
Facts don’t care about your feelings
“Flaired users only”
How very pro free speech they are!
There was literally a popup that I saw posted on here a little while ago from r/conservative that tells you essentially “this is a conservative safe space, difference of opinion is not welcome, we do not wish to have outsiders try to change our beliefs. This is for conservatives to discuss conservativism.”
They’re a fucking joke.
And just like hexbears all their focus and attention go to liberals lmao. Same energy in both circles.
Which is why I said tankies are red fash. They are just fascists who took the aesthetic of socialism.
… being mean to liberals is fascism now?
No. Being sycophants for authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Supporting Russia and China when they are committing genocide and are oligarchies and state capitlist. Spouting reactionary nonesense. Using the facade of socialism and progressivism to hide fascistic ideology.
You know, same BS American Repubs do and conservatives and fascists of yore.
Stop watering down the meaning of genocide! Twice as many civilians have died in Gaza as in Ukraine, and there’s no comparison at all between Gaza and Xinjiang province. More children have died in Gaza than the total number of civilians in Ukraine. Compare the numbers of journalists killed, aid workers killed, hospital staff killed, UN workers killed, there’s no contest. Gaza is what genocide actually looks like, and it comes across as shallow and hypocritical to call hexbears fascist when you’re the one that’s going to vote for genocide.
I’m talking about the Uyghurs?
I’m sorry what? This genocide has killed more people than that genocide therefore…what’s your argument exactly?
A genocide is a genocide, and I’m sure I’m with a lot of people when I say, let’s push to stop genocide altogether. Whether that’s in our own countries, in neighboring countries, in countries from across the world and even in countries we may not have heard of, any genocide is bad.
It’s because a significant number of hexbears are right wing Poe’s law trolls.
Are you upset at the hypocrisy or the concept itself?
Just the hypocrisy really
“Look at me, I’m the snowflake now.”
They always have been
“Every accusation a confession” and all that.
I think that’s fair though. If you create a community for conservatives to speak to conservatives then that is who you want there. If you’re in a community about skateboarding, you don’t want to be inundated with people constantly saying that skateboarding is dumb.
(To give some context, I do happen to think conservatism is dumb, but I’m also able to see their point of view and why they would want private communities online. I have no opinions on skateboarding)
"If you need a safe space, you’re a special libtard snowflake who hates reality, logic, and free speech…
… Now stay out of our safe space"
Safe spaces aren’t bad, but any conservative who hangs out in one is loudly and openly admitting to the world that they believe anything they say and spout their garbage only to control and suppress those they don’t like.
Ask conservatives on what opinions on such as?
I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uhmmm, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and uh, I believe that our, I, education like such as, uh, South Africa, and uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uhhh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa, it should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future, for us.
Conservatives & strawman arguments go together like peanut butter & jelly.
They posted about a study on “do your own research” today on Vice. Very interesting read.
Scientists Explain Why ‘Doing Your Own Research’ Leads to Believing Conspiracies https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7bjpm/scientists-explain-why-doing-your-own-research-leads-to-buying-conspiracies
There goes every doctoral thesis.
doctoral theses aren’t researched with a google search.
That’s the joke.
I thought it was hilarious, for what it’s worth.
I think the content speaks for itself. It’s shit.
But let’s talk about the typography: as someone who uses LaTeX, and irrationally hates bad typography, this one seems targeted. Look at the absolute state of the fourth panel! Ewwww. The river— I just can’t!
The content is great!
- the original comic is exactly why deprogramming cult members is hard: they recoil at the mere hint of a thought that the base of their community and identity might be wrong
- It’s deeply ironic that deeply religious cult members like modern day US “conservatives” unironically post this comic
Republican projection once again I see. They are nothing if not consistent (and predictable).
