Gotta love conditional support for vulnerable minorities

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 44 points 9 months ago

It's all about lording their power over us, there is not a single cishet liberal who has any amount of actual respect for us or any other marginalized group. It's a white savior complex all the way down and if we do not show them eternal gratitude for their empty plattitudes, they get mad and reliably reveal their chauvinism and their boundless, inhuman cruelty. It's that way every single time i dare to correct them when they say something transphobic, too. They cannot handle it when their faux progressive facade is revealed for what it is.

Death to AmeriKKKa.

Hear, hear.

Liberal allyship, not even once.

[-] Targuinia@hexbear.net 49 points 9 months ago

I'll bet I'm older than you

considering this is a thing exclusively a high schooler would say I fucking doubt it

[-] machiabelly@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Tons of older people say shit like this. Nothing they can do or say to impress or convince people. So they have to think of something to give them and their ideas relevance. Ideally something fixed that society likes. Of course they can't just learn and grow and change like everyone else. that'd be hard anti-italian-discrimination

What they think it means

"im wiser than you"

what it really means

"I've inhaled more lead than you"

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I've worked some old paints and pewter figurines. Let this creaky Millennial at him.

[-] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

My money's on a man whose emotional growth stopped around high school. They get really into seniority in lieu of growth

[-] axont@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago

i'm beginning to realize a main aspect of the boomer mentality, which is divorced from actual age or generation, is an unwillingness to acknowledge that someone younger than you may be more informed. it's so silly. there are teenagers who are way smarter than me and that's just how the world is.

well thought out point

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Imagine the only defence of your position being "I'm older and people should respect their elders, therefore I'm right."

What an empty, meaningless (and yet presumably long) life this person must've led. Years they could've spent educating themselves, or honing skills, or learning the lessons about basic empathy they apparently failed to learn in kindergarten. I can't even imagine what this person's life must be like, if this is how they react to someone trying to educate them on something. I don't like to call people "Karens" unprovoked, but I have a funny feeling this person has screamed at at least one manager in their long life.

[-] CrimsonSage@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Age often does correlate to knowledge simply by dint of the fact you had more time on each to aquire it. Inevitably those people who fall back on age as their justification for being right forgot to do the aquire it part.

[-] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago

The first poster didn't say anything about being queer, either . . . the old person was triggered by a the-more-you-know rainbow and had no choice but to abandon solidarity.

[-] Quaxamilliom@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

This was the most mind blowing part of that whole interaction lmao

White man's burden: having to throw exactly one of jews or gays into the meat grinder

[-] axont@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago

listen here, you gay. i'll have you know I'm a Queer Ally, I always get the rainbow cupcake at Panera Bread and I have a gay bumper sticker on my Tesla. Do you really want to lose all that support?

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago

i have a gay bumper sticker on my tesla

Preemptively condemning people to a fire isn't a good look.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 27 points 9 months ago

I bet I'm older than you. And I bet you don't respect me never having learned anything new since I was a teenager.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 25 points 9 months ago

Oh no not the flag oh fuck guys what are we gonna do noooooooooooooooooo

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 24 points 9 months ago

The Palestinians in Gaza most specifically have been given an almost 2 decade chance

Translation: the victims in the refugee state (as not everyone in Gaza are from Gaza; many are refugees from other places in Palestine) imprisoned in their own country have been given 2 decades to learn to live with horrific oppression.

Imma be real with you guys; if I ever hear about any of these people having their homes invaded and the people who invade their homes treat them in a horrific manner, I will absolutely say the home invaders have a right to defend themselves and that they (the people in question) should've learned to coexist; I feel no sympathy for these people I swear to God

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I fly this rainbow flag to let the LGBTQ+ community know that they're safe and I support them (until a single person disagrees with me and they're incidentally gay, then I'd rather you died).

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

This person has terminal reddit brain. Only comments about either pro-ukraine or pro-israeli content, insufferable smuglord replies, blames civilians for being bombed. Pretty much used r/politics exclusively before the invasion took place

[-] Hexbear2@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

/r/israelcrimes is a growing subreddit

[-] CrimsonSage@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

It's incredible how anti Semitic Israel supporters are without seeming to realize it. Conflating jews with Israelis was originally ba literal nazi dog whistle, and they have just adopted it whole heartedly.

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

This was a conscious decision that Zionists made back in the aughts

[-] Barabas@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

Ending active military occupation in favour of open air prison, blockade and periodic bommbings is the height of 'living peacefully'.

[-] RonPaulyShore@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

Most of their countries ris are unstable theocracies that hve nothing to do with freedom and human values.

really makes you think.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
