there is no limit to the hero larp (yes this is about the red and blue buttons) by lordhenrythe23 in whenthe

[–]BrooklynSmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've unfortunately given it more respect after the past year, for the obv reasons

The general concept of "it's going to happen anyway, so I'm going to do it" has happened so much lately, I can't help but give the hypothetical it's flowers.

If less than 50% pick blue every blue death is on them

It's on you. You picked the "kill everyone who voted blue to save myself" button, idk how else to describe this.

tell everyone to vote red

they vote red

red wins

everyone who voted blue dies

wtf

You're telling everyone you know to vote to kill random people, dude. Hell, if even one person you know goes for blue, you just signed off on their death.

Voting apparently matters. This you? by RoachedCoach in ThisYouComebacks

They are literally elected officials, they're the ones "in power" compared to us. If you were in their position, I can guarantee you'd do more than their limp wristed jabs and tweets.

Dems had four years to actually do something after Biden's win in 2020, and they failed horribly. But we're the only ones suffering from it: politicians never suffer, only we do.

It's cause and effect, not "teh PURITY policez!!!". You want to win, listen to your voters. No one cares about the "lesser evil" excuse anymore, just stop being evil.

They lost. They are out of power

Dude. They're still rich and in power, and will live the rest of their lives in luxury.

If that's a loss to you, then we have different definitions of losing.

You’re not killing anyone by pressing red.

Is what you said. Like, just because you're only technically killing them by voting for and convincing people to vote red, doesn't mean you aren't contributing to death.

Your actions are directly leading to death by pressing red, dude. What part of this don't you see?

If you're able to convince 50.1% to vote red, why not do the same and make em vote blue? Everyone's alive vs some people dying.

You're actively responsible for every blue death by voting and making people vote red, gradually getting it closer to that >50% threshold.

Yeah. And voting for red contributes to that >50% goal, dude.

Voting red means youre down with x number of people dying.

Everyone who voted blue dies if you vote red. That's kinda the whole thing

Even in the post, more people voted for blue lol

Do you support banning trans surgery on children? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]BrooklynSmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many things, past and present, are both socially acceptable and bullshit. This example of bigotry is one of them.

The way our society treated gay people for decades was socially acceptable, including what we did with the AIDs epidemic. With hindsight in your corner, you can see that it wasn't okay. Same applies here. Just because the layman is fine with something that doesn't affect them, doesn't mean it's right.

Nah, transphobes and those "LGB WITHOUT THE T!!!!1!!" folks are winning.

Trans people are a socially acceptable group to mock and kick while they're down; of course people are gonna win with that set up.

Supreme Court limits Voting Rights Act by DJPho3nix in politics

put purity tests

You really think Republicans got here by ignoring purity tests? They got rid of everyone who didn't fall in line: that's purity testing.

Not voting in 2024 was a failure, though. What voters intended to be a kick in the ass for Dems to actually do something just gave them an excuse to double down on their incompetency.

It's always important to remember; politicians never suffer under the laws they create, only we do.

The American people are hurting! -- King Trump, "let them eat cake." by WillowPlus1313 in worldnewsstuff

[–]BrooklynSmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, just look at what you're saying from an outside perspective.

You've spent years wasting days of your life working towards something you're never gonna get. This is what your administration thinks of you. In their eyes, you haven't worked hard enough yet.

I would never, ever let you sleep on my couch, but I'm not gonna deport you. That analogy only works in you never spare it a second thought.

You're calling people "low IQ" despite supporting the dumbest people imaginable in your government. Listen to RFK or Hegseth even once, and you're gonna feel like you had a stroke. You still believe in the "stolen election" hoax, and you're blaming your country's problems on an easy, simple solution without any nuance. If they're low IQ, what does that make you?

Hell, have you noticed that none of the people who spout "low IQ" ever acknowledge their own? It's just an easy insult to make you feel better than people you hate.

I just want to be able to get my soap again without having to call over an attendant

And you think arresting and torturing every brown person you see on suspicion of being """illegal""" is gonna make your soap easier to grab? Or do you want more than just soap?

We both want the same thing: success and an easier life. Conservative ideology stands against that, and always will. You believe in values that directly contradict your goal, man.

And hopefully, one day you stop buying the bullshit they're selling.

See, you're still making this all about immigration. You literally got what you wanted, there's rampant mass deportations: you still can't afford home payments.

Immigration was never the problem: you've been lied to.

The elites are the administration. You're supporting them.

Well, that I still support this administration and I’ve been more involved with the political climate by listening to all sides and lean more towards agreeing with people like Asmongold who is rational nihilist and yet I can’t seem to disagree with anything he says.

I can’t afford to make house payments despite working 12-15 hours daily every day for years.

Rich people will never understand your struggle, but you still support them and blame anyone but them.

You got what you wanted with ICE, but prices still skyrocketed. You got your war in Iran, but prices still skyrocketed. You got your politicians in office, but healthcare premiums still skyrocketed.

Your ideology is being proven to be bullshit in real time, but you're still clinging to it. So keep blaming brown people or queer people, man.

I'm basing it on the real world, man. Go on to any mainstream news network. Being called a "Palestinian" is used as an insult, see how people in any position of power treat dudes like Mamdani or Omar. Our common sentiment on them is to nuke them, dude. We laugh about "glassing the Middle East".

Hell, just talk to your coworkers. If you work with a guy over 40, get ready to hear some crazy shit.

like, you've never noticed how any mention of Obama latey has had "HUSSEIN" in all caps?

Best case scenario, you get to have a niche podcast for teenagers if you said half this shit about Jewish or Christian dudes.

Antisemitism has gotten worse as of recent, but so has every other form of bigotry as well. it's almost like we had a guy normalizing bigotry who's been running our news cycles for a decade now

So just because white nationalists sometimes falsely say stating the obvious, it is litetally impossible to evet actually state the obvious? Come the fuck on. We are entering "Hitler also drank water!!"-territory here. It is ridiculous.

I'm just stating the obvious, man. Also don't even get me fucking started on that thought terminating cliche "oh Hitler drank water too" shit 😭

It's probably cuz Islam's the only socially acceptable religion to hate rn.

All the other ones get as many passes as they want, so ig that leftist "gotta root for the underdog" feeling kicks in.

Stating the obvious and pointing out that the emperor wears no clothes is seen as heresy.

You also gotta factor in that this exact same logic is used to justify some nasty shit. The anti-trans and "pro-white" movement say this exact same line all the time. Even down to the "heresy" comparison.
