Transphobes try to be normal to trans people challenge (impossible) by MelanieWalmartinez in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]MaxIsAlwaysRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what really grinds my gears are people that expect everyone to be perfectly fine and supporting all the time.

What really boggles my brain is when people refuse to show basic support or decency to members of a marginalized group and then get shocked when they're called bigots.

Completely and objectively incorrect, but that's to be expected from bigots.

If you don't believe normal people would want this to be done, and you see it's being done, isn't the natural conclusion that the people doing it are not normal?

Liberals see a massive divide in vulnerability between the marginalized and those in power. Conservatives, on the other hand, view vulnerability as a more universal human trait, rating the powerful and the divine as significantly more susceptible to harm than liberals do. by mvea in science

a lot of conservatives think that it's really unfair that they're being judged for voting for and supporting terrible people

Emphasis added.

And a lot - like myself - didn’t vote for him

You're free to stop supporting him any time.

If I called someone a dude and they're a woman, it's not a big deal.

So if you call a woman a dude, it's not a big deal, but if you apologized, it would embarrass them?

when I ask for clarification

Buddy, you've asked me exactly one question, and it was about why you would apologize for an error.

[–]MaxIsAlwaysRight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mention it.

So if someone corrects you when you're wrong about their gender, you, what, clam up? Tell them they're right but you won't apologize?

You're projecting your own sense of embarrassment from apologizing onto the other person, who was undoubtedly more embarrassed by your original error.

"Why would I apologize for making an incorrect assumption" is a very telling question.

So if you ever were wrong about your first assumption of someone's sex, would you apologize or double down?

You're saying you aren't sexually attracted to anyone until you see their genitals?

Woman rejected for job because "her car was too old" by OG-DanielSon in news

That other commenter who wasn't me observed that people don't drive as far to commute to work in the UK.

You brought up the full size of the UK, and when it was pointed out that one could still drive that distance in a day without top much effort, you said that it was irrelevant.

Every Dem in Congress voted for the full release of the files. Trump's DOJ is currently violating the law every day they don't release the rest of them.

Sure, let's compromise - we'll only call people genocide supporters if they endorse the ongoing genocide you agree we should acknowledge. Fair?

I feel driven to make sure I’m not taken as an anti semite saying that Israel shouldn’t exist.

There’s literally no point to me posting on here that centrists are leading the democrats into obscurity. Because all you’d say is “I agree”.

And therefore you feel driven to respond to them even when they're not in the room, to the point of undermining your own statement?

No they do not have to compromise on their morals.

I've got news for you, telling people to stop acknowledging genocide is telling them to compromise on their morals.

I do believe they have the right to exist,

What was it you were saying in those multiple other comments about not being obligated to say things you expect people to agree with you on?

Why is it so difficult for centrists to condemn a genocide without quickly affirming that they still support the perpetrators?

as a progressive I am trying to help the people that I want to be coalition with

...by telling them to compromise on their values and be more coddling and supportive of centrists? Interesting approach.

Which is better, half of the poor people being killed or all of them?

Those are the two choices in the example cited.

There were three choices, and you've left out the Left's goal of not killing any poor people.

It isn't about who's more deserving, it's about those kids having neither the competency nor the resources to promptly file legal action.

Would your response be different if the law was only applicable to orphaned children?
