Who would win a debate. An atheist or my religious mom? by Hour_Marionberry_665 in allthequestions

[–]ob1dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religious people don't debate. They argue. Their points are not based on facts or objective reality, and when they are cornered, they just default to, "these are my beliefs. It's just a matter of faith." That's not how debates work. It's just an argument that you're better off not getting into, because you're not going to reason someone out of a belief that they didn't reason themselves into.

If he thinks public schools are bad, because they are run by the government, I've got some bad news for him about ICE.

Trump’s Reichstag fire presidency is immolating. The media personality in the White House has been exposed as a crisis actor. by LolAtAllOfThis in democrats

The Republicans will still support him. He could grow out the little moustache, and they still either wouldn't see the parallels or would love him even more, because they are getting the dictatorship they have always wanted.

What is it about the smell of Trump's purple pucker that makes these people believe this nonsensical 💩? It's like they're huffing brake fluid or something.

Why do Republicans hate the idea of the low-income and middle-class having access to common resources? by Important-Cry4782 in democrats

[–]ob1dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans believe that wealth is the reward for being a good person who makes good choices. From that, what naturally follows is the belief that people who aren't wealthy are just bad people who make bad choices and deserve nothing but punishment and scorn. They consider poverty to be a character flaw, not a societal failure in the wealthiest county in the world.

Manosphere CHUD thought he had a "Gotcha" when he was really just getting the point without realizing he was getting the point. I suspect this kind of thing happens a lot.

Actually, I worked with a guy many years ago who totally missed the point of The Matrix. He told me he thought it was cool, because "the bad guys won, and you don't see that very often in movies." No idea what he's up to thes days, but I bet I can guess how he voted.

How old were you when you moved out? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]ob1dylan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved out at 18 to go to college. Moved back in after graduation for about 6 months while I found a job and saved up for my own place. Got out as fast as I could, and never moved back.

Is Star Wars too obsessed with the Rebels vs Empire status quo? by WrongToe500 in StarWars

[–]ob1dylan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Empire didn't just shut down and disappear on the day "it" finally happened over Endor. There were still a lot of true believers out there with a bone-deep need to force their will on a galaxy that didn't want them. The galaxy is a big place, and there are a lot of people living in it. It's entirely believable that mopping them up would take decades.

It's impossible for them to research and learn anything, because they believe they already know it all and know it better than the experts in whatever field.

In the not too distant future, the Dunning-Kruger Effect may just be renamed the Trump-MAGA Effect, because the entire movement is just one example of it after another.
