I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.
You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don’t see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I’m often shamed and muted. I just don’t understand why that parity exists, it’s extremely isolating to feel so alone in this
Well, well, well. Looks like we got ourselves a real thinker over here.
Let me grab my decoder ring and my degree in bullshit interpretation, ‘cause this shit needs unpackin’.
First off, ObliviousEnlightenment, huh? More like ObliviouslySpoutin’Nonsense.
Lemme tell ya, this whole liberal versus conservative hate thing is a load of horse shit.
Hate knows no political boundaries, kid.
It’s like ravioli—some folks love it, some folks hate it, but it don’t matter what side of the aisle you’re on, you still gotta respect the ravioli.
Now, as for this “us vs. them” mentality, that’s just human nature, plain and simple. We all got our gangs, our tribes, our little groups we run with.
But the problem ain’t the conservatives or the liberals, it’s the goddamn extremists on both sides stirrin’ the pot and throwin’ gasoline on the fire. They’re the ones spewing hate and takin’ things too damn far.
As for the whole muting and shamin’ thing, lemme break it down for ya: liberals tend to police their own when someone goes off the deep end, while the conservatives let their crazies run wild and pretend they don’t exist.
That’s why you see more visible hate from one side than the other. But make no mistake, there’s assholes on both teams. As for you feelin’ isolated, boohoo.
Welcome to the fuckin’ club. Life ain’t fair, and neither is politics. You wanna survive? Learn to navigate the crazy and find common ground.
Stop whinin’ and start thinkin’ for yourself. Don’t be another sheep bleatin’ out talking points.
That’s my two cents.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got a date with a meatball sub the size of my head.
Right Extremists: Murder our political opponents! Kill the queers and the coloreds! Install our dictator! Anyone that isn’t a white christian nationalist doesn’t deserve to live!
Left Extremists: Everyone deserves access to health care, housing, and basic necessities! Limit the hoarding of wealth and power! Protect democracy! End mass murder and genocide!
“bOTh sIdeS Are THe sAME!”
What political opponents have been killed? Of any political stripe??
Bad faith misdirection question is bad faith, misdirection.
E for effort, though.
I agree with you 98%. My only gripe is that nobody don’t like ravioli.
Smart man
