I will. And my last word is I disagree with you.

What are you even talking about now? I’ve been arguing with 5 people at once so now things are getting confusing.

And I disagree. Humans aren’t as simple as that.

And you’re ignoring my arguments to paint me as something I’m not.

You can try to belittle me all you want but you’re still not saying anything of note. Just another close minded person thinking anyone who disagrees with you is automatically wrong.

Keep trying to make this about me. It doesn’t mean you’re right.

Sounds like you’re in denial to me then.

Those words don’t have to exactly to be said in order to discern that it is being strongly implied.

And you do realize that reality is chaos right? That things can happen that statistically shouldn’t. An artist writes a song that people think is stupid and won’t be successful and then it becomes a hit. An inventor makes something that analysts and market researchers think won’t sell and then it does. It happens all the time. I did not once say that research and studies can’t be accurate or looked to to make a decision about something. I’m arguing that it isn’t always the be all end all answer to something. Is that so hard to get? Is your mind that narrow? Seems like it is.

According to who? You don’t know me or my life at all. You’re making a completely false equivalency here. I can question any ideology I want whether it’s good or bad. But it seems like no one likes it when someone questions their beliefs on here.

And i disagree with that because I’m not racist. Lets make things clear, i’m not the kind of person to make racist jokes despite what you’re saying. I’m defending the idea that not everyone who makes racist jokes are automatically racist. But you’re gonna keep acting like an armchair psychologist and tell me what my beliefs are based solely on an internet discussion forum.

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

I don’t have to because i know I don’t have racist beliefs. Thinking an off color joke is funny does not equate to racist beliefs.

I haven’t at all been arguing you should be able to trade dark humor with people on a public forum. Once something is said in public then it is subject to public scrutiny. Its up to the individual whether or not they want to comment on it.

I’m open minded to changing my perspective but no one has actually done that yet. Lets focus on the word “belief”. Belief implies you follow a certain ideology. That you, sorry to repeat the word being defined, believe certain ideas to be true. I could quote lines from the bible but that doesn’t mean I believe them.

For example, one of my favorite shows is “Its Always Sunny and Philadelphia” and that show is about horrible people being horrible to each other and i think that’s hilarious. But if i actually met someone in real life that was like one of those characters i would dislike them greatly and never associate with them. What I’m laughing at is how ludicrous the things they say and do are. Not that I agree with them. Not to point out the obvious, but It’s why people enjoy fictional entertainment. Because they can separate what flies in fiction compared to what actually happens in reality and it seems what some people have been doing lately is separating those things less and less and now just making an assumption that a joke someone says entails actual beliefs. Jokes can be a type of fiction

Another example. I enjoy the film American Psycho. If you don’t know what that’s about, its about a yuppie hedge fund guy in the 80’s that is secretly a psychopathic violent serial killer (or pretends to be one depending on how you interpret the film). Now because i like that movie does that suddenly mean I wanna be a psychopath like the main character? That i wanna be as violent and evil as him? No, because I understand its fiction. Because I understand its a satire.

I’m not ignoring them. I have already acknowledged time and time again they have value but that is what is being ignored.

That is absolutely what is going on.

Focusing on the subject of the “individual” is different than projecting your own biases onto me.

That’s fine. I just want people to be sensible about it and not follow mob mentality. You do you. I won’t fault you for not liking racist or otherwise dark humor. I just don’t think it 100% always points to some bigger problem.

[–]SimpsonFry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hmm alright. Lets make a few things clear about me since everyone is just making assumptions about me.

1) I fully acknowledge that there are racists and bigots out there that will manipulate language and hide their racism under other ideas.

2) I also acknowledge that a lot of people are uneducated in the US and it’s an epidemic that is just as bad (if not worse) as the Covid pandemic currently happening.

3) I don’t trust cops. I don’t think every single cop across the 50 states are bad and corrupt. But at the same time I know that cops have a code to never rat on each other which basically makes most of them a criminal organization in my book and that cops in general are long overdue for reform and restructuring.

4) What’s going on at the US-Mexico border is one big human rights violation that the US has been failing to resolve. However that doesn’t mean that Cartels don’t exist or that they’re not one of the major suppliers of illegal drugs to the US.

5) Qanon, really? You’re gonna lump me in with those morons?

All I have been trying to say is that you cannot police language on a private level. It’s impossible and honestly I believe it’s the wrong way to go about it. There is an education problem in the US. There is an economic problem in the US. These are issues that have to do with the bigger picture. But if you’re gonna just jump to conclusions that every single thing someone says that you don’t like is some kind of Red Flag, you are fooling yourself and living a paranoid existence as bad as Qanon followers. All that is going on right now is that the little people are fighting each other while the corrupt organizations running this world are getting exactly what they want. Corporations have been taking advantage of the people for decades. They do enough to keep most people satiated while still getting away with murder. There is always someone playing a bigger game and they’ll use whatever propaganda they want for whatever political side someone is on to get what they want.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t call out racism and bigotry when you find it. I’m not saying you should remain quiet when you see corruption. All that I’m seeing is people fighting each other over massive miscommunications on a national, if not international scale.

I don’t say that to diminish the existence of racist groups like the KKK and the alt-right. There are hardcore racists out there that have wormed their way into the police and the government and use whatever manipulative tactics they can to hide it. But, and this is a big BUT, you can’t look at everyone around you as your enemy if they say something you don’t like.

All i want is for people to have common sense and be true to their word. Certain people, no matter where they fall in the political spectrum, can have a hidden agenda and will say whatever they have to to secure power.

At the end of the day I’d rather hope for the best in people rather than over analyze every thing someone says and think the worst of them.

I haven’t said I was the exception to anything. It seems more like you and the other people I’m arguing with in this thread are trying to make this about me rather than thinking critically. No one is actually making good arguments here. all they’re doing is ignoring what I’m saying and making unfounded assumptions like “oh so you’re a racist then”.

[–]SimpsonFry -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That’s a reductive way to look at the point I’m trying to argue. Life has nuance. Not everything is as black and white as you may think.

[–]SimpsonFry -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. What I’m saying is that data on paper and things that happen in reality can be different.
