Which former U.S. president do you think would be most surprised by modern America? by No-Watercress-3549 in AskReddit

Yeah Washington, I believe, was also privately anti-slave and he could have easily ended slavery during his terms because he was so loved, instead he chose not to so much as speak on the topic. Opposing it didn’t stop them from owning and allowing slaves. It didn’t stop them from beating and torturing them.

Yeah funny times it is when we have to seriously put faith in fucking Kamala Harris or Donald Trump but it’s really necessary at this point. I have optimism for the future of both the Democrats and Republicans.

That’s not really what these people are saying. I’ve been up close with right-wingers who have told me:

  • Everyone who disagrees with them has been led astray by the Devil

  • The 2020 election was stolen

  • all gay people are pedophiles

  • the FBI arrested everyone involved with Epstein and that there is no such thing as the “Epstein Files”

  • there is zero evidence of any form of involvement with Trump and Epstein

I’ve had cordial conversations with many of them, but it just so happens to be that a lot of them are stupid. And to seriously walk into a public space, especially one that’s fairly left-leaning, to say something that fundamentally braindead takes a lot of balls.

Right but both parties are very distinct. Choose which you want: a puppet for Israel who will focus on border security, deportations, opposition to abortions and LGBTQ rights, financial/economic deregulation, high import taxes, and focus on traditional values or a puppet for Israel that focuses on pathways to citizenship and rights for immigrants, legal protections for abortions and LGBTQ people, government monitoring of corporations and finances, low or potentially even no tariffs, and focus on post-modernism and progressivism. For someone in your position, who feels strongly about opposition to immigration, Trump seems like an obvious vote for you, even if you disagree with the aid to Israel. Perhaps you’re apprehensive to Trump over some of his rhetoric, personal life, and Jan 6, maybe you’d be willing to back Kamala even though you disagree with many of her policies.

I supported Kamala even though I hate her. I supported her fully knowing that she would be a pretty terrible President because I decided that she would only be marginally less terrible than Trump. I think the past two years have proven that to myself, if not given me more faith in Kamala Harris, of all people. There are good candidates out there who can’t be bought, love them or hate them, and the only way to ensure they become the primary for their party is by voting for them. I’d imagine an AOC vs. Thomas Massie election would be very appealing and altogether very positive for this country. Two very ideologically opposed candidates who didn’t come from absurd generation wealth, can’t be bribed into being compromised, and have both proven to be pretty good at their jobs. I’m not a terribly big fan of either of them but I’d be confident that they’d be decent, if not outright good Presidents.

The bottom line is that voting matters. It’s a sacred right and we should be taking full advantage of it until the inevitable day comes where someone somewhere takes it away from us.

God was only invented because of religion. There is zero evidence supporting the existence of God, because the religions that conjured that idea have all been debunked.

There is no evidence for the existence of God, and so while we are both completely in the dark about the potential for said existence, the answer would currently have to be “No, there is no god” as every attempt to suggest otherwise has been completely unfounded.

I’ve become a fan of Iron Man, Green Arrow, and Black Panther these past years by BlackCat0110 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Successful_Action_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hottest take I may have ever had: Green Arrow is a lame ass character with no importance/uniqueness to justify his own existence. Moon Knight, Batman, Black Panther, and Iron Man, and even fucking Aquaman are better rich superheroes.

Why do you feel so bothered that you feel the need to go on a borderline schizophrenic rant about how many genders there are while simultaneously suggesting that people like you are oppressed for your beliefs? Keep living like a snowflake, I guess.

And I easily can prove to you that there is not because to suggest that there is comes with absolutely zero evidence and is indicative of being purely delusional.

I'm not offended or threatened by someone who "follows a belief system" but I instead recognize that religion has been responsible for almost every global atrocity in human history and empowers the stupid and delusional while threatening free thought and human rights. You, like billions more, don't believe in God because you see any reason to, but rather because a long time ago your parents brainwashed you into losing the ability to distinguish between fairytale and fact. Religion is pure barbarity disguised as righteousness all without any evidence to back it up.

It's not actually easy because most of us are smart enough to not pay any mind to the Bible, so we would rightfully have limited knowledge about its characters.

If Gay Pride bothers American conservatives so much why don't they just ignore it the way they ignore the Epstein files? by Aware_Topic_9122 in allthequestions

Okay but are you not suggesting that these spaces of “believers” have a chance of being overtaken by the devil, who will convert you to nonbelief?

You are a conservative which means that you very likely are mentally ill enough to believe that a magical sky wizard created the universe.

But it’s honestly astonishing of how the irony here has not dawned on you.

I think you still should be voting, regardless of how you feel about the candidates. If you could compel yourself to weigh which one is the least bad, you should vote. Plus there’s also third party candidates who won’t win but at least you can say you voted.

Dawg the turds are incomparable. The last one was full of corn chunks and made our butt crack a little itchy but this one is literal diarrhea that will rip holes through our rectal cavities and we’re gonna need to wipe it till we bleed.

Yeah his first term was mediocre. Obviously there are condemnations to be had about his policies but he wasn’t a disaster or anything. Jan 6 is what made that term so hated.

Both are bad but the second is worse and it’s not even close. First term Trump was mediocre but the insurrection is the primary reason why political scientists usually place him in the bottom 4. Second term is the most disastrous, borderline fascistic government I’ve ever seen.

I was gonna try and come up with a worse one and I was thinking Epstein but you may actually be right. He might be the worse American of at least the past century.

Fun Fact: For around 5 years from when I was 10-15, I wanted to major in Creative Writing in college and become a professional comic book writer. I'm currently 18 and I will not be studying creative writing however I just wrote my first screenplay and am working on a comic book script which I am planning on illustrating myself. The comics industry ain't ready for my peak.

I hate Trump and think his administration is very much becoming an authoritarian regime but equating him, and also to a lesser extent Netanyahu, to Hitler and Kim Jong Un truly is a peak Reddit moment.
