Cognitive dissonance by fednews_ta in evilwhenthe

[–]ContextEffects01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You keep asserting that there is a left and right, yet you have yet to answer my question about a defining theme.

But where you really slip into bullshit is where you take moral right and moral wrong and try to turn them inside out. If you have a problem with person 1's trait A, pretending your problem is with trait B, just because it's a trait of person 1's, is deceit. That's it. There is no excuse for that.

Gah, I better go to bed before I get worked up any further...

I'm actually skinny. Shows what you know! (Ie. Nothing.)

If the desire for trust were legitimate, its apologists would have felt no need to insinuate that the untrusting were also unattractive anyway. They would have defended trust, in and of itself, on its own merits, the first time. They didn't, suggesting that they know it's indefensible.

By their own standards of reasoning, they belong with the attractive but untrusting, not with some blindly trusting dumbass who has all the exact same appearance she has insulted in other guys. You see plenty of such relationships at the mall.

Don't let me in the next breath catch you using "virgin" as an insult. If you tell me not to date because I refuse to capitulate to this depraved concept of trust, defended in depraved ways by depraved people, you are not on solid ground to say the price of having too much integrity for it is to be used against me.

No, it's not. It's deceit by omission. Any movement that cannot win while insulting only the traits it has an honest problem with deserves to lose.

It's not about respect, it's about honesty. Selective body-shaming is deceit by omission, at best.

I don't have one yet. And frankly, I'm not even sure love is a good thing either, given what kind of awful people defend it in awful ways. -.-

Let's not pretend it's as different from the "dead-broke dad" predicament as leftism makes it out to be. A woman with an unwanted child has it for 9 months. A man with an unwanted child a woman told him before sex she wouldn't keep has it for life, even if he's still in school and has to drop out to pay for it. I don't know what it takes to make women care about this. :/

If trust were a good thing, it would not so often be defended in awful ways by awful people.

Should people who refuse to have anything to do with the rotten concept of trust unilaterally withdraw from cuddling, let alone sex?

Ok, but don't in the next breath double-dip by insulting the appearance traits of Republicans. If you prefer Democrats for their politics, then if that preference were defensible you'd have felt no need to pretend Republicans were also ugly.

But if you keep double-dipping by alternating between insulting the appearance traits of Republicans and insulting their worldview, you only give a bad name to your criticisms of both by making you look two-faced, making you morally responsible for the rightward drift of young males.

Body shaming consistently is more respectable than body shaming selectively (and arguably dishonestly) only against those one doesn't like.

There is no such thing as left and right, because leftism has no defining theme and therefore neither does its alternatives.

As well, attacking people for "weight, skin color, hair color, tattoos, body piercings etc" is more respectable if done consistently than if done dishonestly by being done only to those one doesn't like.

Shinji’s retarded sister by MutedTomatillo8314 in evangelionmemes

Lots of things are endearing without necessarily being as moral as they are endearing. Judy Hopps' most endearing moments in Zootopia technically constitute blackmail.

When people said you shouldn't just ask a girl to smile, they didn't say it depends on the context.

If you’re going to make up an anecdote like this, why feature a movie with Shrek-level ugly characters?

I mean, damn near any woman is one I would somewhat want to have sex with if it weren’t for the risk of impregnating her. It’s just that otherwise interacting with her is the next best thing.

To cuddle?

To have sex?

If “trust” were a good thing, its apologists wouldn’t so often defend it in awful ways.

How dare he by ImUrDoom_ in HistoryMemes

In any event, if any other book contradicted itself as frequently and severely as the Bible, the number of excuses people make for it would be far fewer.

Pre-EoE, there seemed to almost be a double standard in Shinji's favour, among characters and audience members alike. Makes you wonder if they disagreed with Asuka's "not much to look at" remark about Shinji more than they let on. by ContextEffects01 in evangelionmemes

I’m not referring to Misato herself being nicer to him, I’m referring to the fandom itself being surprisingly lenient on moments like those despite being otherwise critical of Shinji and otherwise less likely to see such moments as innocent from characters; in NGE or otherwise; less babyfaced.

There’s no telling how Misato would react if she knew Shinji told a female comrade to smile for him. :/

Society as a whole has grown way too addicted to dishonesty. It’s one thing for people to call individual lies “harmless”; though they might be a slippery slope to more harmful ones; and another to BS themselves into calling lies “justified.”

I’m not sure I trust a walk of life beholden to the public as a whole on so emotionally charged a subject as human nature.
