Hypocrisy is the trademark of conservatism. It’s us who get fooled into taking conservatives seriously. Every time right wingers whine about anything, it is best not to entertain their crying as anything serious and tell them to fuck off.

Bad faith arguments should not be elevated to the level of serious debate. That only leads to dilution of seriousness of the nature of debate.

They’re too busy shooting cans of Bud Light to realize that they’re actually doing a Cancel Culture™. Mental incongruities don’t trouble conservatives

They stopped drinking Bud Light because it got woke.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

...and then they quietly started drinking it again as soon as they got madder about something else.

*one of the trademarks.

Maybe it's because "Shut up and sit on the bench for 90% of the season" doesn't roll off the tongue /s

Sorry, kickers, you have the lamest position in the lamest mainstream sport. You kick and then sit down. Why anyone would think a random kicker of all players is worthy of giving a commencement speech is beyond me.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Kicker is the number two job on an NFL team I would want unless fired head coach counts. As long as you aren’t total ass you can do it pretty well for a long time. Hell, Butkers own head coach said much earlier in his career stated that the only time he speaks to his kicker about anything is when they show up to spring practice he checks out their butt and says “well your caboose is still big so we’ll see you again next year”.

It doesn’t take the mind of a Peyton Manning & Richard Sherman or the freak athleticism of Tyreek Hill and Randy Moss to be a great kicker which, not saying Butker is a scrub at kicking because that’s probably hyperbole but he’s not Adam Vinitari either. Additionally there’s virtually zero chance that his life experience is something recent grabs could build off, like maybe someone like Alex Smith or Nick Chubb who overcame extremely significant injuries to play at the highest level again could be.

I would bet his agent was asked by some school board member that campaigns on “family values” and didn’t think anyone would question someone from the latest superbowl winner. So fucking stupid

Who is the guy in the last panel and what did he do? This lemming is out of the loop on this one.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 months ago

Harrison Butker

Otherwise-forgettable kicker who thinks women are only valuable for procreation and housekeeping.

Go ahead and look him up for yourself to get the full story.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Sounds like a next Republican senator.

[-] JovialSodium 7 points 3 months ago

Well he sounds just lovely. /s

Thanks for the info, kind stranger.

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

I think he's the Kansas city chiefs kickers and he game a commencement speech including lots of trans phobia and (I think) homophobia and mysogony. Conservatives have, predictably, supported and defended him.

[-] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

This was also at a catholic women's university iirc. To paraphrase "Good job with the degree but you'll be happier as a housewife/fuckmaid."

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

He can shut up as well as far as I'm concerned. Everyone can shut up. Including me, right now.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

I stopped calling it white supremacy. I now call it the White Dunning Kruger Observance.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I don't get it, what is this meme saying?

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

It's a little off because it should be "White MALE Supremacy" since Butker is a mediocre white man in the privileged position of NFL Kicker who is most known for his insistence that women are only valuable for procreation and housekeeping.

It’s a little off because it should be “White MALE Supremacy”

I am not so sure about that, 'even' when brown men say something they're told to just 'play sports'. Shutting down Megan Rapinoe for being a lefty-LGBTQ woman is still white supremacy-based.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

But supporting the guy who said women's highest achievement is having children is misogyny pure and simple. It's not just because he's white.

[-] watermelonpaloma 2 points 3 months ago

Butker also mentioned the 'tyranny of diversity', which sounds a bit white supremacist to me.
